I have had the pleasure of being Dr LaCouvee's patient for over 20 years and I have found that not only is he an incredibly caring, kind, gentle and sensitive dentist, he is extremely knowledgeable and current in his practise. Additionally, his staff are always pleasant, thoughtful and courteous. I highly recommend Dr LaCouvee and his staff and do so at every chance I have!! Thank you for all your care over the years.

At first, all was well, certainly a Great bedside manner. You always get a reassuring touch, smile. However when my gums started to recede very shortly after having an expensive ceramic crown done, and the crown started to show dark at the top, not much was said about removing it or fixing it. Later a couple of white fillings rotted underneath and both the crown and fillings were replaced by another, better dentist and I am happy to say all is well and the receding gums have returned to health again.

Was terrified of going to the dentist until I met Francis. He is gentle and excellent at what he does. I look forward to seeing the dentist now!

I've been seeing Dr Lacouve for some years. I have found the surgery to be extremely efficient, almost space age in appearance,with staff second to none.The Dr is also most amiable, very knowlegable, easy to talk to and on time.The best dentist I've been to in my 67 years.

Greatest dentist and office team ever! What can I say that already hasn't been said. All the other comments paint a great picture of exactly how it is and feels to get dental work done by Francis. I never liked going to the dentist before going to Abutus but now look forward to it every time! And to think the first I went was by accident because I got the directions wrong. Best mistake I ever made. Now my wife and I travel over two hours for our appointments cause we moved and it's definately well worth it. The most comfortable dental experience ever! Arbutus dental clinic desrves more than the five stars aloud with this rating. You won't find anything better!

It really doesn't get any better than this. From the very moment you step into Dr. La Couvee's Dental Clinic, you know you are in for a professional, caring, attentive, and wonderful experience. I have never felt so at ease in a Dentist's office! Dr. La Couvee himself immediately instills an air of calm in you and explains everything very well. It almost makes you look forward to going to the dentist, as I know it did for me! Not enough praise can be sent to this man and his gracious professional staff; they truly are exemplary!

I've been fortunate to have had two previous wonderful dentists in my life but still Francis tops them. I became his patient even before he opened his own clinic. At Arbutus, he has created something very special. You're made to feel welcome the moment you walk in the door. All the staff are as exemplary as he. The waiting area is comfortable and user friendly...even a phone is available for convenience. But it's the humanity I love best about Francis. He's a stellar dentist but his interest in people is what makes him shine. He once treated a friend of mine, who was dying, in his home and gave him the dignity of still being able to eat. He also visited my mother in a care facility, just before Christmas, when her capped front tooth fell off. The repair lasted the remaining 5 months of Mom's life. I, too, have recommended Francis to many others, all of whom have been as delighted as I to have such a magnificent professional in our community.
