Dr. Jessie had two unique opportunities for dental mission work. The firstone she provided dental care to the people of Jamaica. Locals would wait for hours to be seen to have much needed dental treatment. The lack of access to care makes it difficult for the people of Jamaica to get regular dental care.
The second trip was to the town of Jeremie, Haiti. In Haiti, she provided dental extractions with no running water or electricity. Each day the group would drive up to two hours away to different towns to reach as many people as possible. Lines of people would form before the group even arrived. The group would work until the sun set, trying to help as many people as possible.

He is an avid golfer and Temple sportsenthusiast. Dr. Deem is the Temple University Athletic Departments team dentist.

Our family has been going to Broad Axe for over 20 years. Once Dr. Deem cut back his hours and introduced multiple Dentists it went downhill fast! My husband recently took the day off (they have few to no evening hours) went for a cleaning and check up and was told he had to see a specialist, refused to clean his teeth but were happy to make an appointment to fill a cavity- Seriously???

I recently switched dentists and could not be more pleased with the care and attention Dr. Jessie and Dr. Hal provided me. I used Dr. Hal for Invisalign and my teeth have never looked better. Highly recommend coming here!
