Dentists and orthodontists are offering help to patients affected by the sudden closure of Elmira, N.Y.-based Southern Tier Orthodontics, according to a Jan. 3 report from WENY News.
Other dental practices in the area have received an influx of calls, many from former Southern Tier Orthodontics patients, looking to continue their care.
Patients of Southern Tier Orthodontics received a text message from the practice, saying that they are in the process of working to transfer patient records.
Southern Tier Orthodontics, owned by Jason Horn, DDS, recently declared bankruptcy and announced it was closing due to personal and financial reasons.
In addition to taking on new patients, some practices are also looking to hire new staff, potential former employees of Southern Tier Orthodontics, the report said.
