Went in for regular cleaning. Met Kim a new hygienist. I've been going here for over 20 years and witnessed lots of turnover. Kim was very caring, thorough, and a pleasure!! Will have to be going back for fillings. Met the new dentist and he seemed very nice. I will update my review after my experience with the cavity .. ugh...

Terrible place won't go back ever again. They said they would not take care of me if I had a emergency. Thank God I found a place that treats you with compassion.

Dealing with Boynton's ego isn't worth his sub-par dentistry.

After they rescheduled at least 2 or 3 of my appointments at the last minute due to staffing issues, I found another dentist. Then they charged me $100 for a missed appointment when i hadn't seen them as a patient for over 8 months. Don't come here

Dr Boynton and his staff are friendly, professional and make you feel comfortable for any procedures you go in for. The office is clean and the music is

I have gone to Patroit Dental for roughly the last 5+ years. While I was there when the service was good it was exceptional, but when it wasn't it was the worst. I have extreme dental anxiety and Dr Boynton has always been very patient and excellent when it came to explaining procedures to be done. Where I have an issue is most recently in my care with the office. I have to have an extensive amount of work done and was advised by Dr Boyton of a treatment plan that was very different from our prior discussions. This threw me off and caused a lot of undo anxious feelings. I was asking a significant amount of questions because the amount of work is astronomical and will be in the tens of thousands of dollars range. He then left the office room and told me he was referring me off to another provider for, what he explained at the time, was a second opinion. At that point I became frustrated and stated that if I was being referred off to other parties to have my work done then I was having a hard time understanding why this required a subsequent appointment with him as it seemed like this would be a waste of time and money. Both of which are slim when you look at the amount of work to be done. He referred me to another provider. I left my appointment with the alternate provider and called to explain that I'll be bringing the specialty images to his office to discuss my treatment plan. That call and voice mail was 3 weeks ago. He's yet to return my call. I then spoke with the office manager over a week ago who explained that Dr Boynton was discharging me from his practice because I simply stated that if I'm being referred off to other parties wouldn't that be a waste of time and money to attend unnecessary appointments with a dentist (him) that is not treatment me anyway. I was told that by me saying this that it is questioning his ability as a dentist and questioning his "extensive knowledge base". Since this telephone call with the office I have emailed him to see about this misunderstanding because I can't fathom being discharged from a practice simply for asking questions. Making a statement that I didn't want to waste my or his time and money isn't being disrespectful, it's simply being cognizant of a situation that is going to take a lot of time and a significant amount of money upwards of $40,000 or more and every penny counts at that point. Again, I called yesterday and didn't get a call back after leaving a voicemail asking to speak with someone about work that Dr Boynton performed that needs to be repaired. All of which he was fully aware of prior to discharging me from the practice. His letter to advise me he was discharging me stated that he will remain my dentist while I seek new care with another provider at least until 5/12/21. I again called today asking for a call back to see if I can have the work that he performed less than 2 years ago repaired and again haven't received a call back. I was told I would get a call within the hour. I have now called again and left another voicemail and I'm doubting that I'll get a call back. I would have a VERY different opinion of the office if this was handled differently. This isn't our first poor experience with them as well. Years ago our at the time 10 year old (now 13) had a panic attack in the office because he too has horrible dental anxiety due to dental trauma from when he was very young. He was crying in the dental chair and I was told then that they would not finish his cleaning and that he was not to come back to the practice because he was "upsetting other patients by crying". A CHILD! We found a new provider for my child and that was a blessing in disguise because his new provider has been nothing but wonderful and has completely changed my child's opinion of the dentist and dental work. We drive over an hour to see this new dentist for my son and after how we've been treated with Dr Boynton and his staff I wouldn't drive 2 minutes to see him.

Not a great experience at all. The staff are fairly nice (to your face), but the dentist (Dr Boynton) has a chip on his shoulder like no other. Careful if he "recommends" a procedure or treatment plan and you disagree with him... it'll result in being mistreated and likely discharged from the practice. Hands down one of the most narcissistic moves I've ever seen. Also, be careful to get a second opinion on procedures/treatment he is "recommending". You'll find that he is only recommending them because it's more financially lucrative for him and not necessarily the best thing for you. I've already filed a complaint with the state of Maine Dental board which they've validated and have instructed me that they will be proceeding further in their investigation. Save yourself time and money and sanity and just don't go here.
