"Dear Dr. Allain,
So often after returning from a visit at your office I tell everyone who will listen how grateful I am to have you and your staff for my dental care. I have never written to you to express my gratitude. I am very aware of my dental anxieties and appreciate your expertise to allow my experience to be as pleasant as possible. The IV sedation is a huge contribution to my comfort and hope my behaviour under sedation is at least entertaining!
The respect and professionalism offered by your staff goes beyond the norm. It seems as though health care givers are forgetting about these courtesies in some other offices I attend. I end with a huge thank you.

"Though we were living in Lake Orion, my husband Pete, continued to drive to his long-time dentist in White Lake. When Pete's dentist retired, he referred his patients to Dr. Randy Allain who had a practice in the same area. At his first appointment, Pete was impressed with Dr. Allain, but told him he would like to find a dentist closer to Lake Orion. That's when he told Pete his brother had a practice in Lake Orion.
When we called and spoke with LaDawn to make Pete's first appointment in Lake Orion, we found her both professional and friendly. After his first cleaning by Krysti and and checkup by Dr. Allain, Pete came home and said "I've never had such a thorough cleaning and checkup. You've got to change dentists." He said. "They really take a personal interest in you." After several suggestions to see Dr. Allain, I decided to make the change and am fortunate to also have Krysti as my dental hygenist and be under the care of Dr. Allain for my dental health."
Sincerely,

"Dear Dr. Allain, Roz and the rest of the caring people at LOFD,
A couple years ago, I had mentioned to my friends that I was looking for a new dentist. You came highly recommended by a friend of mine, but I thought your office was too far away from my home in Sterling Heights. Instead, I went to a local dentist who advertised sedation dentistry and that patients would "snooze" through their visit and could have many procedures done at one time. This sounded great to me. I had a fear of going to the dentist and had neglected my dental health, therefore, a great deal of work was necessary. I was told that the sedation would be provided to me in pill form, oral sedation, and that I would not remember the procedures. Unfortunately, I remembered waking up several times and being asked if I would like yet another pill. I was nauseous afterwards and was ill, not quite the experience I had expected.
Needless to say, the next time I had a dental problem I asked my friend for your number. I called the office and Roz answered the phone. I felt at ease talking to her and have felt so ever since. You, very thoroughly, examined my teeth and reassured me that we would proceed at a slow pace with treatment. Ronda cleaned my teeth. She was sensitive to my fears and made me very comfortable, the warm hand wax treatment was marvelous!
The day arrived... my IV sedation surgery, and I was anxious. I worried that I would wake-up in the middle of the procedure and find myself in the same situation as before. I arrived early and saw you soon afterwards, you started the IV. The next thing I remember I was home in bed. Recovery was much speedier, and less painful, than I expected.
...and to think it only takes me 20 minutes to get to your office. I could have avoided the previous unpleasant experience had I gone to Lake Orion Family Dentistry in the first place!"
Sincerely,
Shelly

"Dr. Allain and his staff are awesome. They are extremely professional and the highest in customer satisfaction!!
I recently had braces to correct some challenges with my teeth and the best part was the one stop shopping. Their office does all dentistry and ortho in one place, how convenient is that. My daughter will be getting braces soon and I am confident that she will have the best care and satisfaction.
Thank you to Dr.Allain and his staff for their attention to detail. If you aren't taking advantage of their services please consider them, they're the best!!"

"Recommendation of Dr Allain, DDS
I have been a patient of Dr Allain since 1995. During these years I have been highly impressed with his knowledge of dentistry and his thirst to continue the learning and use of the newest and up to date methods in the dental field, along with the latest equipment. Two years ago, after a dental cleaning, Dr Allain had noticed the onset of throat cancer and has treated me accordingly to help stave off the effects of radiation on my teeth.
Dr Allain has always made his patients health his number one priority with a solid jovial attitude and genuine concern of and for all his patients. Not only he, but all of his highly trained staff are to be commended for their polite, courteous, and caring concern toward all their patients.
I would (and have) recommend his services to any and all who are in need of any type of dental service."
Sincerely,
Mr. Tony Tardungo

"To Whom It May Concern,
Our family: Dave Martus, Jordan Bach and Loren Bach, found Lake Orion Family Dentistry about eight or more years ago by picking a name out of the phone book. We are quite glad that Dr. Allain's name starts with an "A" because our choice was quite random. We immediately liked Dr. Allain and have always been impressed with the dental work he has done. We have each needed some special work done and this has been top quality. We have moved up north and hope that the dental care up here is comparable to Dr. Allain's and staff. If it isn't, we may actually drive four hours for dental care with the staff at Lake Orion!"
Thanks, Loren Bach
"Dear Dr. Allain and Staff,
When I first came to your office three years ago, I was impressed with you and your staff. I felt very comfortable and knew that I had found my dental office.
However, when we discussed orthodontic work I was a little skeptical. In previous consultations with several orthodontists, I had been told that the only way to achieve a good result would require surgery on my jaw.
But thankfully you convinced me otherwise. Six months ago my braces came off and I couldn’t be happier. The results were fantastic! I look like a new person! You and your staff were so supportive through the entire process, and I sincerely thank you.
One example stands out as being representative of my experience at your office. The day my braces came off I was told I would need the retainers within a few days. When I told your dental assistant Shannon that I would be going out of town the next day on an extended trip, she stayed late and finished my retainers that same day.
My experiences at your office have all been pleasant. I will be bringing my family here for all of their dental needs.
Sincerely,
Sarah Smith"

"To the entire staff at Lake Orion Family Dentistry,
I just wanted to drop everyone a line and express how profoundly grateful I am for all the care and consideration you have shown. When I first came to see Dr. Allain, I had been struggling to take care of my teeth, needed a considerable amount of work done, and quite frankly, was embarrassed by my smile.
From the first visit, until my most recent, everyone has treated me with
the utmost in courtesy, respect, and genuine concern, and for that I am
indescribably grateful.
Dr. Allain examined my x-rays, and then took the time to explain the overall
effect that my teeth were having on my general health, which was of great
comfort, knowing that I found a dentist who considers his patient’s
entire physiology.
I was astonished, now that I have been taken care of, to realize how much metabolism an infected tooth had been robbing me of. For having a large amount of work done, I didn’t have any pain during the procedure, and my recovery was astonishingly fast.
I feel great, Thank You.
As for the Staff, I am certain it was quite apparent how nervous and apprehensive I have been, and you have all done a tremendous job of alleviating my anxiety. Throughout this entire process, you have all shown me nothing but compassion and kindness, and it has made all the difference. It’s reassuring to know that you all genuinely care, Thank You.
I would also like to express my appreciation for having this process made as easy as possible, from Dr. Allain offering me flexibility on my treatment schedule, being made aware of my financial options, or being “squeezed in last minute” because my own schedule is frantic.
In closing, let me again offer my most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to everyone for taking excellent care of me, everything has far exceeded my expectations, and Dr. Allain has a patient for life. Until I am scheduled to see everyone again, let me wish you happiness, health, and best of luck in your endeavours.
Warmest regards,
Jeff Clark"

"Dr. Allain has been my dentist for many years. He and his staff have always been friendly and efficient. About five years ago that efficiency literally saved my life. I came into the office for my annual cleaning and as always Dr. Allain did his usual cancer exam. I had a lump on my neck that my other doctors told me was nothing to worry about. Dr. Allain was very concerned and insisted I got to a specialist to have it checked out. To make a long story short, it was cancer and had spread to my lymph glands. The doctor said I had 6 months to live if I did not get immediate treatment and even then my chances were slim. If Dr. Allain had not done the cancer exam and been so insistent that I get to a specialist, I would not have lived. Not only did he save my life but he continues to help me with special care I would now require because of having a major saliva gland removed along with radiation destroying other saliva glands in my mouth. Needless to say "dry mouth" was an understatement. He also explained the damage of not having ample saliva will do to my teeth. He continues to provide me with the support and treatment to maintain a healthy smile and after surviving a stage 4 cancer, I do that often. I could go on and on about some of the other things he and his staff have done, but what it all boils down to is; if you are afraid of the dentist, DON'T BE, they could save your life. If you are in Dr. Allain's area I highly recommend he be your first choice. Sincerely and thankfully,"

"Care that's close to home, but far from ordinary" Absolutely True!
We moved to the Rochester/Oakland Township area six years ago and I had the job of finding the best in the area for our family of six. So, my mission began... I was officially the family guinea pig. I'd try everything and the family would follow. But first mom had to be sold on the product or service provided. This would not be an easy task for any professional!
From the first day I visited the staff at Lake Orion Family Dentistry this apprehensive dental patient has been at ease and extremely pleased with both the dental procedures and orthodontic work completed AND the pleasant upbeat staff helping you reach your goals. Dr. Keith Allain and his staff have consistently provided the knowledge and care needed for a successful result.
Today my family of six has one by one joined and recommended OUR Lake Orion Family Dentist to others. My braces came off in April 2003 and this forty -five year old was thrilled to have my mother ask..."Did you have veneers?" and my father say "I just love that smile!"
Thank you Lake Orion Family Dentistry and when you move to your new office we will follow"

"I write this letter to let you know that I am looking for an excellent Dental practice and I think I have found it in your office. I realize everything won't be free like the DHMO was, but the old saying of "you get what you pay for" is so true in my case. If you know of any of your patients that are going to go into a DHMO please show them my letter."

"Dr. Allain and Staff,
I just want to say thank you for the great job you did removing my wisdom teeth. I had almost no pain or swelling. By 1 p.m. I was hanging shelves in my new house. I was very nervous and your staff put me at ease. Thanks a lot for a job well done - I will recommend you to everyone."
