LIRR Commuter’s Guide to Evening Dentist Appointments in Lindenhurst
If you commute from Lindenhurst into New York City on the LIRR — or live in Copiague, Amityville, or West Babylon and catch the train at a South Shore station — you know the problem. Most dental offices in Lindenhurst close at 5pm. You walk off the train at 7:15pm and the dental office has been closed for hours. The appointment has been on your to-do list for three years.
