What does the future hold? https://www.smilefarmers.com/ourdoctors daily 0.75 2025-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/f31d7739-4458-4169-a46c-0b6918491982/drkadyinsert.png Meet Our Doctors - Dr. Kady Schloesser Tobias Keene, D.D.S. Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/b69fb018-4c21-4d53-84ab-9e93ed3a85db/dralesiainsert.png Meet Our Doctors - DR. ALESIA WALSH Dr. Alesia Walsh is a Scrantonian through and through. She was born, raised, and educated in the Electric City, for high school at Scranton Prep and college at the University of Scranton. Purple and gold are her two favorite colors. (Actually teal is, in its varying shades, which in her world exist.) She graduated with honors from the University of Scranton with a dual major in neuroscience and biology. Her thesis focused on the trigeminal (tooth) nerve. Chew on that, really, because it’s a nerve critical to the feelings we get in our mouths when we chew…among other things. After graduating from the U, Dr. Alesia advanced to the Kornberg School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, a part of Temple University Health Systems. In addition to her coursework in Philadelphia, Dr. Alesia went outside the country sharing her passion and purpose at orphanages in Lima, Peru and Ensenada, Mexico. There she set up and operated fully functioning portable dental clinics and provided comprehensive dental care to children and families. She stayed in Philadelphia for her residency at Temple University Hospital. At Temple, Dr. Alesia trained extensively in oral conscious sedation. She presented her research on the efficiency of isolite with sealant placements at the 2019 American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Annual Meeting in Chicago. Now happy to be back close to her family, Dr. Alesia is enjoying doing the many things she loves about her hometown like running the trails at Lake Scranton and exploring new recipes with veggies from her garden. She also loves climbing the leaderboard on her Peloton, walking her dogs Nala and Simba (can you feel the dog love?), and patiently waiting for new T. Swift drops and tour dates. (She’s seen her three times.) At the end of the day, she’s not afraid to re-read Harry Potter, hoping to find some secret Hermione spell to cure cavities, or, at least children’s irrational fear of the dentist. Follow Dr. Alesia on Instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/2386d445-b1e7-4169-b6ef-99718a179fd8/drleann+insert_2.png Meet Our Doctors - DR. LEANN SKORONSKI Dr. Leann Skoronski has been with Sprout Dental since August 2021. Raised in Exeter, Pennsylvania, she attended the University of Scranton where she received her Bachelors of Science degrees in both Biology and Philosophy. Following graduation Leann earned her DMD at the Temple University School of Dental Medicine. Keeping her career moving forward, she attained her General Practice Residency Certificate at Hackensack University Medical Center. She took steps toward becoming a Pediatric Dentist first with a fellowship at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, part of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, and then through a Post-Doctoral Certificate Program with East Carolina University. She then worked as a Pediatric Dentist in North Carolina and Hawaii before coming home to Northeast Pennsylvania. And although she’s happy at home here, she’s an adventurer at heart. Near and far, from Turks and Caicos to Ireland, from Philly for 76er’s game to Hershey for chocolate, she’s always on the move, sometimes in her car, sometimes on a plane, packing and unpacking bags, loading and unloading climbing gear or beach umbrellas, and enjoying life. She’s hard to keep up with. Leann is a licensed scuba diver, accomplished mountain climber, and avid culinary adventurer. When not sampling the world’s fare out in the wilds, she’s on the prowl locally. Some of the many things she loves about life in Northeast Pennsylvania are the endless hiking trails, family-owned restaurants, ice cream parlors, and foods she finds at Church summer picnics. Think you can like Leann can? Follow her on Instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/32c9afde-b2d7-4973-ae28-e81172d2c7df/drchrissyinsert.png Meet Our Doctors - Dr. Christina Amato Dr. Amato is a woman of many names. Some call her Dr. Amato, some call her Dr. Christina, and some call her Dr. Chrissy. The good news is that she responds to all of them, happily. Dr. Chrissy was born, raised, and educated in the Wyoming Valley. After graduating from the Wyoming Area School District, she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology as well as her Masters in Health Care Administration while working as an Anatomy & Physiology Graduate Teaching Assistant. Upon completing her degrees at the University of Scranton, she earned her Degree in Dental Medicine from Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry. During her time at Kornberg, she received the R. Ralph Bresler, MD Memorial Award for “exhibiting outstanding empathy for pediatric patients and a desire to put patients first.” Following dental school, Dr. Chrissy completed her pediatric residency at Temple University’s Episcopal Hospital. Dr. Chrissy spent 6 years in Philadelphia before coming back to Northeastern Pennsylvania to serve the community she grew up in and introduce future generations to good oral health. Dr. Amato joined our practice after years serving as the Pediatric Dentist at Casey Dental in Pittston. She now spends most of her time between our Hamlin and Pittston offices. Outside of dentistry, Dr. Christina enjoys reading, spending time with her boyfriend Phil either in the garden or with their Shetland Sheepdog Troy, as well as relaxing on the beach in Cape May, and trying to figure out how to keep her fig tree happy and fruiting in a Northeast climate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/4f582630-6f55-405c-b324-e939bc546c7b/drsueinsert.png Meet Our Doctors - Dr. Sue Granquist Dr. Susan Granquist is a Northeastern Pennsylvania native. Dr. Sue is a graduate of Honesdale High School - where she met her future husband - and continued her education at Penn State University, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Italian. Yes, she can tell you how to say “brush your teeth” in Italian. Dr. Susan completed her dental education at the Kornberg School of Dentistry, part of Temple University’s Health System. She then spent almost ten years practicing as a general dentist locally before taking some time off for one of the other “best jobs” there is, being a mom to two young children Carl and Anna. These days, Dr. Sue works primarily out of our Honesdale office. She still very much values the work/life balance and see patients two days a week. As a true member of the team, she joins us at other offices as necessary. When she’s not busy growing healthy smiles at Sprout Dental, she’s busy growing vegetables in her garden including bushels and bushels of blueberries. In the colder months, the Granquists make their own maple syrup, and year-round they enjoy taking their dog Rocket to explore the miles and miles of hiking trails scattered throughout Honesdale and Northeast Pennsylvania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/333546f3-e07a-4a4a-8d81-d352b60b385a/career.png Meet Our Doctors - Your Name Here Sprout Dental is looking to grow throughout Northeast Pennsylvania and beyond.

With offices in Honesdale, Lake Ariel, Kingston, and Pittston, Sprout Dental is growing healthy smiles for families throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/312f1a20-63e6-462b-8fbe-8251f2132788/Sprout-waiting-room_web.jpg Around Our Offices - 177 Sunrise Avenue Honesdale, PA 18431 This is where it all started in 2013, at a small office in Honesdale, Pennsylvania, Dr. Kady Schloesser’s hometown. Dr. Kady together with her family converted an old home into the first office. With the growth of the Sprout, the office grew too. We doubled its size, then outgrew it again. The building has served administrative purposes since the move to Hamlin in 2019, but is back open Monday through Thursday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/a14ce081-eecb-438e-bee0-5e4a5c387020/Sprout_070.jpg Around Our Offices - 554 Hamlin Highway, Lake Ariel, PA 18436 Sprout Dental opened in Hamlin in 2019. We converted a General Dentist’s office into the coolest, most kid-friendly Pediatric Dentist’s office in Northeast Pennsylvania. And by converted, we mean ripped out all the walls and rebuilt it from the inside out. The office features eight single chair treatment rooms, and two rooms with dual benches for families. We perform our conscious sedations here, and partner with a local lactation consultant who supports our diode-laser frenectomy practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/21d665e8-386a-4a48-a5bb-36f8e031fca3/kingstonwaitingroom.jpg Around Our Offices - 541 PieRCE ST., FIRST FLOOR, KINGSTON, PA 18704 A few years ago we planted seeds for a more southerly Sprout. Kingston Pennsylvania was about an hour from our northernmost offices. That didn’t stop patients from wanting to come and see us. We originally took over an existing pediatric dental office, transformed it into Sprout and grew from there. Earlier this year, we opened a brand new office in Kingston, to serve patients from across the Wyoming Valley and Greater Wilkes Barre area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/e94b7bfc-f050-41f4-8de8-1bf748782bdd/pittston+waiting+room.jpg Around Our Offices - 1073 Oak ST. Suite D, Pittston, PA 18640 Northeast Pennsylvania has a tight-knit dental community. In 2023 we were approached by a respected general dentist - who saw value in our approach, services, and brand - to take over his pediatric practice. In a matter of weeks, we transformed the space, aligned our systems, and opened our doors; retaining both his patients and attracting new ones of our own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/2082f1ed-bfab-46eb-bf13-d36dae453be7/field.jpg Around Our Offices - WHEREVER THE WIND TAKES US Like seeds, we could end up anywhere. We’re always looking for new smile farmers to help us plant roots in places where there are pediatric dental needs and opportunities for growth. https://www.smilefarmers.com/nepa daily 0.75 2025-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/7b9e3c08-64c5-4fcd-b705-800d74caf373/topoftheworld.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/a1553660-c8e6-470e-bb5f-fcee022f7712/leann+river.png https://www.smilefarmers.com/aboutus daily 0.75 2025-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627424cb678deb73d1c38f38/87f43a26-2534-4845-98cd-04f1fb571967/sproutabout.jpg Grow with Us - LET’s GROW TOGETHER.
