Oh my, where do I even begin?
Dr. Lemire is nothing short of a saint IMO, and I feel really lucky to have found her. I'm so grateful the one person I admired at the *ahem* previous dentist, is who recommended her, because I've never doubted my decision to move over to her.
SHE is the one who talked me down from the ledge after being terrorized by a previous dentist. SHE is the one who gave me a reason to trust dentists again. SHE is the one who fixed all the work that other quack messed up. SHE is the one who saved his backside from getting reported. Maybe that last part isn't such a good thing necessarily, but it does show her diplomacy skills if nothing else.
She, along with her staff - were just plain awesome to me and my boyfriend who also went there. They knew all about my life, my work, my likes and dislikes. They are like family there. The whole crew there is very symbiotic and peaceful with each other there, and it shows. Their office is cheerful and relaxed, and they always made me feel right at home.
The only reason they're getting 4 stars instead of 5, is that she stopped using Nitrous Oxide. I think that's important for a dentist to have available for nervous wrecks like myself. Tho she is an absolute PRO at giving shots, and is very VERY sensitive to your pain, it's still kind of a deal killer to some, including one person I tried to recommend to her. It wasn't for me because we had already built up a trust factor, but going forward I would not visit any place that didn't offer this service. Another thing I don't view as a plus is that they still use amalgam (mercury) fillings, which I personally feel are dangerous. I would prefer a dentist that didn't use these at all.
BUT again I have to emphasize - they are still wonderful people who genuinely care for their patients well-being and comfort. You will not go wrong with them, especially if you're one of those types who only needs the routine exam/cleaning. Dr. Lemire is nothing if not precise and downright finicky about getting things right. And did I mention gentle? Extreeeemely gentle. Her staff is 100% kind and attentive as well. I never felt rushed or stupid, even when I was being an absolute baby... lol
I'm now on the other side of the country, and can honestly say I miss the heck out of everyone there at Dr Lemire's office. I was very fortunate to have them in care of my oral needs (and there were many!!) for the almost 7 years I saw them. read more
