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 Dunmore 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 Dunmore
The most direct route from Dunmore to our Clarks Summit practice is via I-81 North. From most Dunmore neighborhoods, plan for a 15 to 20 minute drive depending on which side of Dunmore you’re starting from and traffic patterns.

Why Dunmore patients drive to Clarks Summit for medical spa care
Dunmore is a community that values local relationships – the family businesses, the neighborhood connections, the people you actually know. That community rhythm doesn’t always fit franchise medical spa models where you never see the same provider twice. Our practice is structured differently, and our Dunmore patients specifically chose the short drive north for a few reasons.
Physician-owned. Physician-injected.
Dr. Dennis is the physician-owner. Every injectable treatment we offer is placed personally by him. There is no delegation to a nurse injector, no rotation between multiple practitioners. If you book an injectable with us, Dr. Dennis performs it.
Same provider every visit
Lori Barone personally performs every laser, skin, and body treatment. 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, this continuity produces measurably better results – something rotating-provider models cannot match.
Boutique scale, not franchise floor
One suite. One physician. One lead provider. No corporate playbook. The environment is calm, personal, and built around individual care – which fits the Dunmore community rhythm better than a corporate model.
Meet your providers
Two providers, two clearly-defined roles. Full bios and credentials 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
Personally performs every laser, skin-health, and body treatment. 5+ years of experience on the Cutera platform. The reason so many of our Google reviews mention her by name.

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.
How far is The Summit Aesthetics from downtown Dunmore?
Approximately 15 to 18 minutes by car via I-81 North. Most Dunmore neighborhoods are within a 15 to 20 minute drive. The route via I-81 is generally faster than surface streets even during typical traffic.
Is there a medical spa in Dunmore itself?
Dunmore has a limited number of medical spa options. If proximity is your absolute top priority and 15 minutes is more than you want to drive, a Dunmore-based practice may be right for you. If your priority is that the physician-owner personally performs every injectable and the same lead provider performs every laser and skin treatment across your visits, our practice structure is different from most local options – and that structural difference is why our Dunmore patients drive up to us.
Do you accept new patients from Dunmore?
Yes. The consultation is complimentary and there is no obligation to book treatment. New patient consultations typically book two to three weeks out.
What's the best route from Dunmore to Clarks Summit?
For most Dunmore neighborhoods, the fastest route is: local streets to I-81 North, take Exit 194 (Clarks Summit), then US-11 South briefly to North State Street. Alternative surface-street route is US-6 westbound through Scranton, then north on US-11 through Clarks Summit. The I-81 route is generally faster.
Do you have parking?
Yes. Free on-site parking directly at the practice – no meters, no garages, no walking.
I used to go to Abington Center Medi Spa. Are you the same practice?
Yes. The Summit Aesthetics is the same practice that operated for years as Abington Center Medi Spa – same location, same physician-owner, same lead aesthetic provider. The name changed; nothing else did. Your prior records are still with us.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments?
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday: 10 AM to 6 PM. Wednesday: 10 AM to 7 PM (later evening hours). Friday: 10 AM to 2 PM. Closed Saturday and Sunday. Many Dunmore patients schedule during Wednesday evening hours to accommodate work schedules.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Cherry, PatientFi, CareCredit, and Alle are all available for qualifying patients with 0% APR options. Financing details are available at consultation.
