[Highland Park] Dentist/ teeth cleaning
by KATHLEEN NAYLON-SCHULTZ 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Hello list! Looking for a dentist who will clean my teeth. Looking for someone who won't make me come in, take numerous x-rays and then tell me the hygienist isn't in on Fridays (after I told them I wanted my teeth cleaned) Also looking for a dentist that will just clean my teeth and not recommend that I need a 1,000 dollar gum cleaning that will take three different trips. (This after telling them I am having chemo in two weeks). So what I am looking for is an honest Dentist who will actually HEAR me when I tell them I am getting chemo in two weeks and who will CLEAN MY TEETH. How can this be this hard? Any recommendations? Thanks list server! K Schultz

[Highland Park] pick your own orchard list
by Joan Soulliere 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Dear Neighbors, The list is very short: Simmons Orchard in McMurray. Yes, I had about 10 requests to share the info. I received. Approx. 6 people emailed me about Simmons. There were a few other mentions (Trax and Soergels) , but most of those had petty zoos and other "side shows." That's the news. Joan Soulliere

[Highland Park] Bryant street work will go on for 3 months!
by Christine Frechard-Harbison 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

Dear neighbors, Bryant street will be a mess for 3 months and today they start digging the street at 6:45 am. So early in the morning my house and surrounding houses where shaking. Some books fell from the shelves. Kids were up and everybody in the house. I think that it is unacceptable to start working so early . I talked with the workers in the street and they told me that we need to complain to the city of Pittsburgh that asked them to start working at 6:30am in a residential area! Please, if you are suffering about it, call the mayor office complain dialing #311. We need your support to stop that non-sense! Thank you Christine Christine Frechard-Harbison Institute of Art and Languages 1135 Mellon st. Pittsburgh PA 15206 412 661 0177 724 766 0104 cell

[Highland Park] pediatric orthopaedist?
by Alexandra West 10 Sep '10

10 Sep '10

My ten-year-old son badly fractured his upper arm about seven weeks ago and unfortunately is not healing as expected. We like the orthopaedic surgeon who did his surgery very much, but if the bone is still not healing when we go back to Children's in early October, out of caution we will want to seek a second opinion. Given that it can often take a long time to get an appointment with top docs, I thought it might be a good idea to start looking now. Does anyone have a recommendation for a great pediatric orthopaedist who might have expertise in delayed union and/or nonunion?
