I have not been to a dentist in 30 years so I was a bit nervous. But I just had the most amazing experience at Westowne Dental Centre in Barrie today. These people are awesome. Erin, the dental hygienist, and Dr. Nancy were so kind, happy, friendly, confident and caring. They made me laugh and made me at ease. I am just so happy I chose this place and it's the only place I will ever go! :)

Wonderful compassionate dentists, Dr. Nancy and Mike DeSantos really impressed me with their thoroughness and efficiency. My hygienist, Bessie is the best Ive ever experienced. This is a vocation for her, not just a job. Shes very knowledgeable and when I developed a separate health issue, she called me at home to make sure I was okay. Ive been going to dentists since I was about 10 years old in at least 3 provinces, 3 states and 3 countries over the past 67 years and can honestly say Ive hit the jackpot.
