I cannot recommend this office enough, Dr. Do did a root canal for me 2 days ago and the recovery has been so much easier than past root canals I have had. There is little to no pain, even the day of the procedure the recovery was absolutely manageable. If you need to get a root canal and are afraid, this office will take such good care of you.

Before coming here to Blondin Endodontics, I was absolutely PETRIFIED of going to the dentist. I can honestly say this was the best experience I've ever had! I had gotten a root canal done and felt 0 pain at all. It was very quick yet precise. Dr Blondin and his whole team were extremely friendly and made this unfortunate situation an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend!

My dentist referred me to Dr. Blondin after I suffered a fractured molar. He said he was the best endodontist in the area, and he was correct. Dr. Blondin was very skilled, thorough, and kind. He explained the procedure every step of the way in a reassuring manner and made sure I felt no pain at all. I was offered music and headphones which was surprisingly relaxing. I felt I was in good hands as Dr. Blondin's expertise was obvious the moment I met him. And on top of all that he has a great sense of humor and puts your mind at ease.

I was in terrible pain and was referred to Blondin Endodontics for a root canal. From the moment I walked in they put my mind at ease. I had a terrible infection in addition and needed an emergency root canal. From start to finish I was immediately pain free and treated with compassion and professionalism. I highly recommend them for any work you may need from these highly skilled professionals. I saw dr Mejia and she was fabulous. A week later my 15 year old daughter needed a root canal also experiencing pain from a cavity gone bad. She had Dr Blondin and he was so kind and explained everything to her. She and I are thankful for excellent care we received. If anyone you know is on need of a root canal or other services. This is your place ! Thank you for helping us both.

I wish I had gone here a year earlier. Dr. Mejia, who worked on me, was painless and quick from the start. I have been there twice this year (2021) and both times the work was quick and easy. The office and facilities are very nice and all the staff are kind, courteous and helpful. Thank you Dr. Mejia!

With the pandemic I was seriously ill. I had seen several Dentists and yet with all the xrays and talking with them they had nothing to say about my situation. I called Elizabeth Spindell in New Hampshere who is a a 5 Star Dentist with my vote she had worked on my teeth previously yrs before and I may say execellent work She directed me to Dr Viani in Poughkeepsie. Working with Dr Viani who cared enough about my health which, teeth are a big factor, saw the problem and sent me to Dr Blondin.! I did have pain and suffering due to an occurrence on July 3 20. But no one really showed care. Dr Blondin went through the steps of my problems. Dr Blondin and his staff were professional caring and extremely polite. A conversation about my situation, and explained in detail what work was going to be done. My appointments were made. Getting shots to the mouth are always painful , But Dr Blondin took the time to talk to me while giving them and actually there was hardly any pain. Great Drs in Poughkeepsie. So, if you take the time to search for caring, special Drs, they are out there. It took me months to find then but I did. God Bless and thank you for caring and making my health better. God Bless! Dr Blondin,Dr Viani, Dr Allcerea my Drs for life, Dental care.
