    I have four sons aged 12 to 18 and Dr. B has been the only Dr. they have ever seen. …

    He is a special Dr. who takes the time with every patient. At times that might be a bit frustrating as you are waiting in the lobby for your appointment, but I think that's much better than being rushed in and our so quickly you feel you don't have time to get your questions answered. My boys love Dr. B and he seems to have a wonderful rapport with all of his patients and parents.

    For the first 16 years we went to him he had the same wonderful nurse as well, so it really gave a sense of familiarity when you went for a visit.

    You would be lucky to have Dr. B has your child's Pediatrician!

    I switchd my child to Dr Bissonnette following a negative experience with his prior doctor who refused a strep throat test, we then went on with our planned holiday, only to end up few days later in ER in Mexico right for the same suspected cause.

    I am grateful that my child is cared by Dr. Bissonnette, and given the recent medical issues that my child is going through I can only praise Dr. Bissonnette for his patience and true dedication to his patient answering my many and sometimes repetitive questions, for which I feel guilty yet he managed it with outmost respect and care at all times. And for making the right recommendations with specialists for next steps.

    We've encountered many doctors along our journey through different countries and based on those experiences Dr. Bissonnette ranks the highest. THANK YOU Dr. Bissonnette for being my child's Pediatrician.

    We have been taking both of our daughters to Dr. B - The elder one is 3 now and the younger one is 6 months old. I think we have been receiving the best child care available. Dr. B is very clam and accommodating . He listens to us and answers to all of our questions come what they may be. I highly recommend him provided he is accepting new patients.

    Dr. B has been my daughter's pediatrician for nine years since we moved here. ... From the minute he entered the room, his complete attention and communication was with my daughter. She had tremendous fears from her last doctor and to see her smile, giggle and feel so comfortable with him, we knew we'd found the right doctor.

    … He takes all his emergency calls. We've had several over the years, and he has made sure our daughter was taken care of, even over holidays.

    If you are new to this area, or interviewing pediatricians for a new baby on the way, please take the time to meet this man. Unfortunately, until you hand your baby over to him and watch him completely connect with your baby or child, you won't be able to see his true gift. …
