To remain on the cutting-edge of technology, Dr. Lawitts is pleased to have launched her practice's Facebook and Twitter accounts for increased communication with her patients.

"We love the interaction we have with our patients in our office, but when our office is closed we understand patients still have questions or desire further information. For this reason we are pleased to introduce our practice to the online communities of Facebook and Twitter. Through these social media sites we hope to further increase communication and knowledge with our patients no matter the time of the day," said Dr. Karen Lawitts, dentist in Syracuse, NY.

To expand her practice, Dr. Karen Lawitts, Syracuse cosmetic dentist, has now joined Facebook in hopes that her patients will have a new, and more convenient way to contact her office throughout the day. Patients can visit the practice's Facebook to "Like" the practice to gain further information on the practice and the dental field, including upcoming events, promotions and important information about dental health care. Once the patient is in the "network," they will receive automatic updates from Drs. Lawitts and Yeates, whenever they update their site, or blog.

Additionally, patients can also "Follow" the practice on Twitter, which has also significantly grown in size since its inception in 2006. By following the practice on Twitter, Drs. Lawitts and Yeates, cosmetic dentists in Syracuse, can reach out to their patients through another means that so many other patients actively use. Whether patients choose Facebook or Twitter, Drs. Lawitts and Yeates can extend information to them more easily than just during office hours.
