She was so sweet, social, and thorough. Not only that, she kept me well-informed of everything she was doing and why. The best part of it all is that I don't think I even shed any blood, which I ALWAYS do due to sensitive gums, they didn't even hurt afterwards. She gave me a great cleaning and polish, then Dr. Bautista came in to verify what needed to be done and the steps to come. He is also very kind and understanding, to both, your primary needs and your financial resources. I'll be going back soon for my follow up, and for once in my life, I feel no stress (because, really, who ever ENJOYS going to see the dentist?). I have finally found the right dentist for me, and one that is so close to where I live! Score!

Stay away! Dr Desmarchais runs an UNSCRUPULOUS dental practice; she should lose her licence and get…read moresued! I had a broken filling. I made an appointment to fix it, and marked it as an emergency visit. When I got there, the dental assistant said that I had to take X-rays of it. They took X-rays and then the dentist says that she recommended a crown because she didn't know how much "damage" there was, and discouraged me from just getting another filling. So I was talked into paying out of pocket to get a crown . 1650.00 bucks! Before the procedure, the Eastern European dental assistant told me that because "there were so many appointments that day, that I would NEED to pay for my crown IN FULL, BEFORE I get it done, so that the office "doesn't fall behind schedule". WTH?? The dentist and assistant proceeded to freeze my mouth left, right and center, excessively and unnecessarily. As they were working on my mouth to put the crown in, I noticed that either the dentist or the assistant kept PICKING AT MY BOTTOM TOOTH THE ENTIRE TIME, with one of those metal picks, while they were working on the upper crown above it. I kept trying to figure out why they were hacking at my bottom tooth when they were supposed to be doing my crown! I kept thinking 'was it my imagination, or are they picking at my bottom tooth?' I dismissed it and reasoned that maybe they were trying to clean any debris from the sealant from the above crown. But I clearly KNEW what I felt, in spite of all the freezing they did to my mouth. Did they think I wouldn't notice? After she put in the crown, she told me that there was "no serious damage to the tooth", implying that a filling would've been fine. This is AFTER I paid 1650 out of pocket for a bloody unnecessary crown! A day later, I was eating an apple, and all of the sudden, that bottom tooth filling BROKE from the side, the VERY AREA that I felt them picking at it with the metal hook. I never had issues with that tooth before, and just a day later, it breaks!! Then of course I had to make an appointment to get that tooth fixed. When I got there, the dentist told me that she refused to do filling on that bottom tooth, and recommended another CROWN! She said that before she did anything, she wanted to take a FULL EXAMINATION of my teeth, to see if there is anything that needed to be done before that broken bottom filling. Dr. Desmarchais refused to fix a simple filling that she aided in cracking, and tried to sell me another crown! When I very sarcastically told her that all of these "procedures" that she was trying to con me into doing would make me homeless, she replied arrogantly, "Well, you WILL be homeless if you don't get them done!" Only a year before the appointment, I had a full examination in Ottawa, which costed 495 bucks, and Dr Desmarchais told me that I had to do everything over again. SCAM! As for the crown itself, it is poorly fitted; the sealant between the gums and the crown broke off about 2 weeks after it was put in. There is now a gap between the gums and the crown, and a new foul smell has appeared when flossing between the crown. Very unprofessional job. Dr Desmarchais is a fraudulent business dentist who is out to rip her patients off with unnecessary procedures. BEWARE!!

I had a large amalgam filling changed out on April 1st and am pleased and relieved to report that he is the gentlest dentist that I've ever had. It took barely an hour to replace the filling and the entire procedure was painless. He was calm as he worked which helped me calm down, and his assistant was a Pro with the suction tube. Not once did I have to gargle and gasp to bring attention to rising "water levels". So now I have a fabulous new white tooth where the dull grey one was and I'm no longer self-conscious about smiling. Change is good, but not too much at one time so I love the fact that Dr. Seminara kept Dr. Dobby's old crew. Yay!

Young, professional, fun, competent and honest McGill graduate. Takes children too and uses the RAMQ cover if no private insurance. Lets parents inside with their child during entire appointment. Very honest, explains every procedure in detail, takes photos and applies newest dental medicine. Has wonderful approach to young patients, makes jokes and accommodates the patient according to need (my son required being warned prior to the local anesthesia and all his needs were met, no surprises, I suggest -discuss a sign for pain prior to beginning). Perfect job on 5 very complex cavities in only 2 appointments! , preventive space maintainer in place too. I thought that not having nitrous oxide (laughing gas) would be a reason for my child to request another clinic. He does not even want to hear about it. His words were " I like Dr Kennedy and am keeping him as my dentist for life, for me and my future children". Big thank you, Dr Kennedy!

Le très sympathique Dr Samer Abi Nader a transformé mon sourire pour en faire l'un de mes plus beaux atouts. Son expertise remarquable, combinée à sa grande capacité d'écoute et à sa compréhension des besoins de ses patients, m'a toujours fait sentir entre d'excellentes mains. Plus récemment, j'ai dû subir une procédure pour un implant, réalisée par Dr Barbara Botorous. Elle a effectué l'intervention avec un doigté et une précision impressionnante. J'ai particulièrement apprécié sa grande sensibilité, son écoute attentive et sa façon rassurante d'expliquer chaque étape. Honnêtement, je n'ai absolument rien senti, que ce soit lors de la prise de sang, de l'extraction de la dent ou encore pendant la préparation de l'implant et la greffe. C'est une jeune médecin d'une grande humanité, promise à un avenir exceptionnel dans ce domaine. Je tiens également à souligner la merveilleuse synergie de toute l'équipe : Yvonne, Christine à l'accueil, Marie et tous les autres membres du personnel. Chacun contribue à créer une atmosphère professionnelle, chaleureuse et profondément humaine. Je recommande cette clinique sans la moindre hésitation. Au-delà de l'expertise et des compétences indéniables de l'équipe, on s'y sent véritablement unique, respecté et parfaitement pris en charge. A+++ Et s'il existait des étoiles Michelin pour les cliniques dentaires, je leur en attribuerais sans hésiter trois -- le maximum qu'un établissement puisse recevoir. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few years ago, I chose to receive my dental care at the Clinique ParoProsthoExcellence, even though I live in Ontario. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made. The very kind and personable Dr Samer Abi Nader transformed my smile into one of my greatest assets. His remarkable expertise, combined with his ability to listen and truly understand his patients, always made me feel that I was in excellent hands. More recently, I had to undergo a procedure for a dental implant performed by Dr Barbara Botorous. She carried out the procedure with impressive precision and a very gentle touch. I especially appreciated her compassion, her attentive listening, and the reassuring way she explained every step of the process. Honestly, I did not feel a thing -- not during the blood draw, nor during the tooth extraction, nor during the preparation for the implant and the bone graft. She is a young doctor who is both kind and deeply human, and I am certain she has an outstanding future ahead in this field. I would also like to highlight the wonderful synergy of the entire team: Yvonne, Christine at reception, Marie, and all the other staff members. Everyone contributes to creating an atmosphere that is both highly professional and genuinely welcoming. I highly recommend the services of this clinic. Beyond their undeniable expertise and competence, they make you feel truly unique, respected, and exceptionally well cared for. A+++ And if there were Michelin stars for dental clinics, I would gladly give them three -- the highest distinction any establishment can receive.

She put down all the tools and took the time to explain to me exactly why I didn't need to be afraid, and more about how teeth and roots and gums work than anyone has bothered to explain to me before. She dug into drawers to find a flavour of the fluoride stuff that wouldn't make me gag (orange! changed my life!) And generally didn't make me feel judged, just laughed and made me feel comfortable. Also, Doctor Kordlouie is the best dentist. Not just because of the hilarious jokes and taste in music, but because he is constantly going out of his way to learn more about the science of dentistry from all over the world. He doesn't judge dentists who charge extra for first visits or for xrays, but that's not his style so it's more affordable than other spots. And he doesn't jump right into surgery, he likes to show you where the problem areas are and coach you how to take care of your teeth, and keep an eye on it for a couple months before deciding if fillings are necessary. Just generally wanted to reiterate that I'm so so so happy to have found this dental practice.

They are open and honest, understand that many of us are scared to be there and they put you at ease with humour and care and explain every step along the way. Every time I leave here with the biggest grin on my face from laughing and relief. This is THE best place to take your fangs to in all of Montreal, I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could.

Amazing! Yeah, no…read moreone usually uses the word amazing and dentist in the same sentence, but Dr. Collins at Clinique Dentaire La Cite definitely deserves the praise. I went to Dr. Collins as a new resident of Montreal, and had no clue for what a great experience I was in for. I had previously gone to a dentist in Chicago and knew that I needed a crown on a tooth that had previously undergone a root canal. Dr. Collins is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. He made sure to make me feel comfortable and was very aware of how anxious I was about the procedure. He talked to me about all my options, never pressured me and took the procedure at a slower pace that I could handle. His office is gorgeous, and has a panoramic view of Mt. Royal and the canal. It is located on the 9th floor of the Transat Tower which is across the street from Parc Jeanne Mance and Parc Mount Royal. What a view! Completely different than most dentist offices, which resemble dungeons more than anything else. He put on a movie for me to watch while he was doing the procedure, it definitely helped me take my mind off of everything and eased my anxiety. His assistant was super sweet and chatted with me before and after, making me feel comfortable and not worried.
