Our Practice
Wolcott, NY Dentist
Wolcott Dentistry was founded in 1964 by Dr. Herb Mason. In 1968, Dr. Mason moved the practice to its current location at 6010 Draper Street. For a short time, Dr. Mason was forced to work out of his house on Wright Street after a lightning strike caught the roof on fire.
On August 10, 1993, sale of a portion of the practice to Dr. William H. Pugh was completed. A year later, Dr. Pugh purchased the remainder of the practice and has been in solo practice at the same location since that time.
