Our Patients Say

Kate B

Such a great office. The staff is always very friendly and helpful, and Dr. Poisson has my full trust.

Quoc V

Dr. Poisson is amazing at her job. The fillings I got were always perfect, because she would spend extra time with you to make sure the bite is correct. She also doesn’t just tack on more procedures without clearly explaining why it needs to be done.

Megan P

So happy to have found my home dentist. Felt really taken care of today after not being in for a couple years due to Covid. Everyone is super nice here and Dr. P is awesome.

Sean F

Great experience all around. Came for a cleaning and then to redo fillings due to an issue with my molars (apparently they're weaker due to an excess of minerals, lucky me!). I don't think fillings could ever be described as "pleasant," but Dr. Poisson completed the procedure expertly and I felt absolutely nothing. I also got to pet her dog after, always a plus! This was my first time ever seeing a dentist who wasn't my childhood dentist, and I'll gladly come here again.

Matt C

Best dentist experience I've had. Dr. Poisson and all the hygienists, special thanks to Renee, were incredible. Everyone is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. I appreciated them both taking the time to explain the procedures and results in layman's terms. Oh, and no wait time! Will be back!
