My husband and I and our two children have been patients of Dr.Joe for about 12 years. We can't say enough about how much we love Dr.Joe and his staff. His office isn't intimidating as some dentist's offices can be and we completely trust his abilities. Dr.Miskin's work is excellent. My husband's previous dentist caused him a lot of grief and the work didn't hold up for more than a year. In the 12 years we've been with Dr.Joe, we've never had to have work done over again.
My favourite part is the "pain free" promise! My kids have had cavities filled and come out of the chair with smiles!
I would recommend Dr.Miskin to anyone, especially those who've had bad experiences with a dentist or a dental environment. The office is relaxing and friendly and going there feels more like a social visit than a dentist checkup!
Thank you Dr.Miskin, Linda and Gail for your excellent work all these years! We truly appreciate everything you've done for us.

I’m terrified of dentists but Dr. Miskin’s sense of humour put my mind at ease! He took the time to explain what needed to be done, what my options were, & he didn’t try to rush me out the door. If you need a dentist who actually cares about his patients & has their best interest in mind, look no further!

I thought that my teeth were pretty good. I never went to the dentist since my mother took me when I was a kid. I never had any problems in 22 years until that day, Dec. 27, 2011, when it hit me. Unbelievable pain on one of my molars. I went to the hospital but they couldn't help me. There was no dentist on staff. I searched the internet and asked some of my friends what to do. The answers were pretty much clear: Go see Dr Miskin.
I was so scared to go but I had to. I phoned Dr Miskin's office and I thought that they wouldn't see me for a few weeks but after speaking to Linda,the receptionist, my fears were allayed and she said that the dentist would see me right away. I got there in 20 minutes and was seen right away. Linda made me feel good but I was still scared but I soon felt comfortable after chit chatting with Dr MIskin.
I thought my tooth would come out but Dr Miskin said that he could save it. Dr MIskin did his magic and I was out in 20 minutes smiling with an appointmant card for a complete checkup.
This whole experience was amazing. Everyone was so nice to me there!
Thanks Dr Miskin and wonderful staff

I have recently become a patient of Dr. Miskin. The experience at his office has been so positive for me that I felt very comfortable to bring my 7 year old daughter Ashlin for a check up.
The news was that she would require several extractions. Needless to say a surgical procedure is not high on anyone's list of exciting things to do. When the patient is your daughter it is completely distressing.
Dr. Miskin has an amazing way of delivering news to parents that expresses the rationale and benefit of a procedure so that you can make an informed decision. He also involves the children in his dental chair in a way that makes them feel involved and safe. Remarkably, I think I was more concerned with the news than my daughter was.
She advised me on the way home from her first visit that she had a "great time" and felt Dr. Miskin was "cool", “funny” and "neat". Coming from my daughter, this is high praise for anyone . She loved the office, his staff, getting her photo taken, the prizes, the TVs in the ceiling.... the list goes on.
She did however inform me she would not be choosing raspberry as her toothpaste flavor next time!
Today was the day of her extractions. We arrived early and Ashlin was brought right in. The open concept of Dr. Miskin's office meant I could hear my little girl the entire time. Expecting her to be nervous, tearful and scared, she was in fact laughing, smiling, joking and completely caught up in the experience.
Halfway through the procedure I was able to come in and see her. She was smiling happily after two or three extractions as if nothing had happened.
Incredibly, despite the number of extractions required, we could not have been more than 30 minutes in his office. She was made to feel like the number one patient today and I am pleased to say only hours after the extractions my daughter is doing well. She is pain free and looks like her old self again. There is no swelling, bruising or bleeding.
She stands to make a healthy profit from the Tooth Fairy. I can't help but wonder if Ashlin and her new friend Dr. Joe worked out some sort of deal, because she is looking forward to seeing him again!
I suspect they'll have a more in depth discussion about the merits of various toothpaste flavors next time.
Many Thanks to Dr. Miskin and his staff from his newest patient Ashlin and her relieved father Scott.

Staying up with technology - puts him ahead ... this could only mean that
he is also up-to-date on the latest and great dental care for his patients.

A history of less than diligent dental attendance and a lack of benefits left me with what could only be described as an embarrassing set of teeth. All of the decay was upfront and visible for the world to see.
The longer I neglected them, the less likely it seemed I would ever get them taken care of.
After years of being certain I had the worst set of teeth in the history of modern dentistry, I had finally had enough of not being able to smile. I began my search for someone who could help.
When you search online for “Best Dentist Durham” you will find Dr. Joe Miskin. I am glad that I did.
I sat in his exam room and was prepared to accept false teeth, metal fillings or at the very best some mismatched patch work of fillings – anything would be an improvement. I was also prepared to accept a harsh lecture from my new dentist.
The whole office however could not have been nicer! With a great sense of humour and understanding, (mine were not the worst teeth in history) Dr. Miskin and his exceptional staff were able to undo 7 years of poor dental habits in 90 pain free minutes. They also provided the dental care teaching so that it won’t happen again!
The transformation was amazing. I cannot get over the restorative work Dr. Miskin and his team performed. I left his office truly smiling for the first time in years.
I seem to look in the mirror constantly now and I still cannot believe it. Years of neglect erased by his skilful repair of my own teeth (no dentures!) You can't tell they were once full of holes. Amazing!
I was so pleased with the whole experience that my entire family are now patients of Dr. Miskin!
If you’ve been holding out on a much needed appointment, may I suggest you call Dr. Miskin and his staff? You’ll be glad you did. The relief is instant.
Thanks Dr. Miskin.

Dr Joe did a fantastic job on my teeth. I didn't feel a thing which is a big concern of mine from problems I had elsewhere when I was a youngster. I told the Doc I had not been to a Dentist in awhile and being the trust worthy person that he is, he checked me out and told I was in great shape with only a couple of simple problems. He put me at ease and got me in and out quickly.
Thank you Dr Joe Miskin, Frank

Dr Joe did a fantastic job on my teeth. I thought no one could help me as my teeth were really bad. I had such a phobia about going to see a dentist but Dr Joe put me at ease and did not make me feel bad about the state of my mouth. I now have a smile I am proud of!!
Thank you Dr Joe, you're the best!

I had to have a tooth pulled out on Christmas Eve and Dr. Miskin came in special for me and extracted it with absolutely no pain what so ever. One thing that I really appreciated was that he charged me the regular fee. He didn't increase the bill because of the holiday. I am definitely coming back and I will highly recommend Dr. Joe to all my friends.
Thank you again Dr. Joe
