We were freaked out but Dr. Kown took her right away, he informed us of her options and what to expect in the future including possible complications as an adult since she is still growing and the crack is next to the nerve. We now feel well prepared what to expect for the future and how to care for her filling. Dr. Kwon is not only knowledgeable, but very skilled, the front tooth filling looks PERFECT! He is truly an artist and he's so kind, he talked to my daughter throughout the procedure, making sure she was comfortable. We highly recommend him!!! - His staff is also fantastic!

Well, I honestly don't care how sparsely decorated or kind of raw the place LOOKS, I care about the Dentist and the quality of work and value I get. I don't have insurance any more, but I first started seeing him because he was one of only 2 dentists anywhere near me that would accept Medicaid Dental insurance (I'm disabled). The first I went to said my teeth were so bad he wouldn't work with me for the little he'd make from Medicaid. Literally said bye bye have fun losing all your teeth. Pretty upset, I went to Dr. Samson, and he said what is wrong with that other guy? Of course I'll help you, we'll fix all your teeth! He worked with my Medicaid until I lost it by winning disability and losing all dental insurance (go figure), and afterword worked out a payment plan based on my very limited income. Very nice of him. His prices are MUCH cheaper than almost any other dentist, especially since he tends to pro-rate his charges based on your situation once you get to know him and he'll work with you. His bed-side manner is a little unorthodox, but he's funny and outgoing and not all stern and quiet like most. I like that though. He's very kind, saying to me "I'm not in this to get rich, I'm in this to help people with financial problems get their teeth fixed so they're not in pain and have a nice smile." How often do you hear that?! And he means it, I believe him. I have had some of the most painful experiences during extractions with him, but I can't blame him - we used more novocaine then I'd ever had before, it just could only do so much with this mangled molar. He tried to be as quick as possible and get it over with once we realized novocaine just wasn't going to do much. Whenever I have an emergency, he almost always fits me in that very day. I've had to wait an hour to be called in for an appointment I was on time for, a few times, so speed and scheduling aren't his strong point, but again with out of pocket prices literally half that of most dentists, I can put up with it. Other patients I've talked to in the waiting room have told me that his partner, Dr. Tariq (sp?) is a great dentist as well, and highly recommend her as well as him. The bottom line is if you have trouble affording a dentist, he's your man (or the other Dentist. Tariq, you're woman, though I've never worked with her myself). Affordable rates, downright cheap really, but while not the absolute prettiest work, cosmetically the appearance of work is pretty darn good, and again you have to trade something off for the very low rates compared to other Dentists. And if you have Medicaid or Husky, he's one of the few Dentists in CT (or at least in his Old Saybrook office, one of only 2 Dentists I know in Southeastern CT who'll take it.

And those of us that have gone know you are there for a 2 hour appointment EVERYTIME even if all you need is one filling. This man did 4 fillings and one extraction in a little over an hour. Which helped my pain alot. If i say something is a tender area or something hurts when he is doing work ( i had a bad infection that did not take to the novocaine) he will be more gentle and try to numb it up more. He listens to your needs and takes them seriously. I adore this man he is a lifesaver. He does so much work at once that is efficient and its so awesome. All the other dentists I have been to are so insensitive and sometimes it seems they think you are seeking pain meds when you dont want meds you just want the problem fixed so the pain is gone. They didnt see the problems with my mouth he did. He was very careful in exams and since i have sensitive teeth even the woman that gave me a cleaning went slow and gentle. Seriously I recommend anyone who is fed up with their dentist to go to Dr. Samson. A real genuine man who cares and takes care of all he can every time you see him.
