The same practice you've trusted for years - now The Summit Aesthetics
For years, our practice operated as Abington Center Medi Spa in downtown Clarks Summit. In 2025 we rebranded to The Summit Aesthetics. The name changed. Nothing else did.
- Same address. 116 North State Street in downtown Clarks Summit – the same suite where we’ve seen patients for years.
- Same physician-owner. Dr. Charles Dennis has owned and operated this practice throughout. Every injectable was placed by him under the old name; every injectable is still placed by him under the new name.
- Same lead aesthetic provider. Lori Barone has been performing our laser, skin health, and body treatments throughout. Same person, same standards, more than 5 years of experience.
- Same clinical standards. Same medical-grade devices. Same product lines. Same commitment to physician-injected and provider-consistent care.
- Same patient records. If you were a patient of Abington Center Medi Spa, we still have your records and treatment history. You do not need to start over.
For returning patients: Welcome back. If it’s been a while since your last visit, we’d love to catch up at a complimentary consultation – no fee, no obligation. Call (570) 585-0201 or book online.

Why Abington locals choose us for medical aesthetic care
The Abingtons are known for community, for local businesses, for knowing your neighbors. Aesthetic medicine hasn’t always had a version of that here. Our practice was built to offer it – physician-owned, provider-consistent, boutique-scale care that stays local to the Abingtons rather than sending you to Scranton or further for quality medical aesthetic treatments.
You don’t have to drive to Scranton for physician-quality care
For years, the assumption in the Abington area was that serious medical aesthetic treatments required a drive to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, or beyond. That was true when there wasn’t a physician-owned option locally. It isn’t true anymore. Dr. Charles Dennis has built a practice here in downtown Clarks Summit that offers the same physician-injected standard, the same medical-grade equipment, and the same clinical rigor as any comparable practice in the wider NEPA region – without the drive.
Same provider every visit
Franchise-model medical spas rotate injectors and aestheticians. That model doesn’t fit how community-based practices work in the Abingtons. Our structure eliminates it entirely: Dr. Dennis performs every injectable personally, and Lori performs every laser and skin treatment personally. Whoever you saw on your first visit is who you’ll see on your fifth. No rotation. No delegation.
Boutique, not corporate
One suite. One waiting room. One physician-owner. One lead provider. No franchise playbook, no scripted upsells, no “package deals” pushed on every visit. The environment is calm, quiet, and built around individual care – which fits the Abington rhythm better than a corporate franchise model.
Reviews from your actual neighbors
Our Google reviews come from patients in Clarks Summit, Clarks Green, Waverly, Dalton, and across the Abingtons. They mention Dr. Dennis and Lori by name because those are the providers our patients actually see. You may recognize some of the names. That local specificity is different from generic franchise reviews.
The tradeoff we’re honest about: Because Dr. Dennis performs every injectable and Lori performs every laser and skin treatment personally, we book two to three weeks out for new consultations. Our capacity is deliberately limited by our structure. If your priority is fastest possible booking, we may not be the fastest option in the immediate area. If your priority is who is performing your treatments – same person, same standard, every visit – we’re the right fit.
Meet your providers
Dr. Charles Dennis - Physician-Owner & Injector
Dr. Dennis personally performs every injectable treatment we offer: Botox, Daxxify, dermal fillers, and lip fillers. As physician-owner, every plan is built by him and every syringe is placed by him. If you’re coming to us for injectables, Dr. Dennis is your provider – without exception.
Lori Barone - Spa Manager & Lead Aesthetic Provider
Lori manages the practice day to day and personally performs every laser, skin-health, and body treatment we offer. With more than 5 years of experience on the Cutera laser platform – and long experience across chemical peels, RF microneedling, and body treatments – she’s the reason so many of our Google reviews mention her specifically.

Frequently asked questions
The most common questions prospective Scranton patients ask about our providers, their training, and how care is coordinated.
Prefer to ask directly? Call (570) 585-0201.
Are you the same practice as Abington Center Medi Spa?
Yes. 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), same clinical standards. The name changed; nothing else did. If you have prior treatment history with us, we still have your records and welcome you back at any time.
Where in downtown Clarks Summit are you located?
We’re at 116 North State Street – in the main commercial area of downtown Clarks Summit. State Street is the primary commercial corridor through downtown, so if you know Clarks Summit at all, you know the block. Free on-site parking is available directly at the practice.
Do you serve just the Abingtons or the wider NEPA area?
The Abingtons are our home base, and most of our regular patients live within a 15-minute radius. But we welcome patients from Scranton, Dunmore, Kingston, Wilkes-Barre, and across the wider NEPA region. Many of them drive to us specifically because of the physician-owned and provider-consistent structure our practice offers.
Can I walk to your practice from downtown Clarks Summit?
Yes – if you’re already in downtown Clarks Summit for coffee, errands, or dining, our practice is walkable. State Street parking is also available if you prefer to combine your visit with other stops.
Are you a franchise or a locally-owned practice?
We are locally-owned and physician-owned. Dr. Charles Dennis is the physician-owner – not a franchise licensee or a corporate operator. This is a boutique, single-location practice built around the physicians and providers who actually see patients, not a corporate playbook.
Do you accept new patients from the Abingtons?
Yes. New patient consultations are complimentary and typically book two to three weeks out. There is no fee for the consultation and no obligation to book treatment.
What are your current hours?
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday: 10 AM to 6 PM. Wednesday: 10 AM to 7 PM (with extended evening hours). Friday: 10 AM to 2 PM. We do not currently offer Saturday or Sunday appointments.
