I can't say enough good things about Dr. Poiset. We have taken our three children to him for many years. Perhaps most telling, our daughter needed a filling when she was about five. She is a high-strung and expressive child, and despite the utter kindness of the staff and the fact that the procedure was virtually painless, she began to scream! I was embarrassed and tried to get her to control herself. However Dr. Poiset was not perturbed at all, put on headphones, and reassured me a number of times that her screaming was not a problem at all! My daughter screamed bloody murder throughout the whole procedure, but Dr. Poiset calmly and cheerfully continued, and showed nothing but compassion to her and me throughout. Again, I am convinced her screaming had nothing to do with physical pain, but was just our daughter being herself! And after that time, she was able to control herself and never screamed or even batted an eyelash again. In fact, after a tooth extraction she had been worried about, she said it had felt good! A couple of our children also initially got quite a few cavities, but Dr. Poiset encouraged us all in a low key way to keep working on our dental care routine, and the cavities ceased occurring.
