You may know us as Abington Center Medi Spa
The Summit Aesthetics is the same practice that operated for years as Abington Center Medi Spa – same physical location on North State Street in Clarks Summit, same physician-owner (Dr. Charles Dennis), same lead aesthetic provider (Lori Barone). Many of our Dalton patients have been coming to us under the old name for years. If that includes you, welcome back – your records and treatment history are still with us.
How to get to us from Dalton
The route from Dalton to our Clarks Summit practice is straightforward – a direct drive south on US-11, which becomes North State Street as you enter downtown Clarks Summit. No highways, no complicated turns. Many Dalton residents already drive through Clarks Summit regularly for shopping, dining, or on their way to Scranton.
Direct route: US-11 South
From most Dalton locations, take US-11 South (also called Route 11 or the Scranton-Carbondale Highway in some sections) directly through South Abington Township and into downtown Clarks Summit. As you approach downtown, US-11 becomes North State Street. Our practice is on the right side of the road. Typical drive: 10 to 15 minutes.
Alternative: I-81 South
For patients further north in the Dalton area or coming from Factoryville, taking I-81 South to Exit 194 (Clarks Summit) is also a good option – similar drive time but slightly faster during peak hours when US-11 has commuter traffic.

Why Dalton residents choose us
Dalton is a community where relationships matter and where local businesses build reputations over years, not marketing campaigns. That community pattern is exactly the kind of practice model we’ve built – physician-owned, provider-consistent, boutique-scale care that stays reliable across the years.
You don’t have to drive to Scranton
For years, Dalton residents assumed serious aesthetic care meant a longer drive to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or beyond. That was true when there wasn’t a physician-owned option this close to home. It isn’t true anymore. Dr. Charles Dennis has built a practice at Clarks Summit that offers the same physician-injected standard – a fraction of the drive time, right on the route Dalton residents already take for other errands.
Same provider every visit
Dr. Dennis performs every injectable personally. Lori performs every laser and skin treatment personally. Whoever you see on your first visit is who you’ll see on your fifth. For patients doing multi-session laser series or chemical peel plans, that continuity produces measurably better results than rotating-provider models can match.
Boutique scale, not franchise floor
One suite. One physician. One lead provider. No corporate playbook, no scripted upsells, no rotating faces at each visit. The environment is calm, personal, and built around individual care.
Meet your providers
Two providers, two clearly-defined roles. Full bios are on our Providers page.
Dr. Charles Dennis - Physician-Owner & Injector
Personally performs every injectable treatment: Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, lip fillers. No delegation, no rotation.
Lori Barone - Spa Manager & Lead Aesthetic Provider
