Karen Hallisey Pesa, DMD

Doctor Robert Terzian is the best dentist I ever had. If you are looking for a new dentist or not really happy with your dentist you should call now, you will not regret! He is so gentle you will Not fell any pain.

Dr. Hallisey has been my dentist now for about 4 years. On two occasions I’ve had to call for an emergency appointment. Both times Dr. Hallisey took care of the situation and fixed things right.
She has a very nice disposition and obviously is passionate about her work and the office. I would recommend her to anybody looking for a new dentist. Dr. Hallisey makes going to the dentist a nice experience! Imagine!
Dr. Hallisey’s assistant Michelle has a soothing way about her, helping the patient relax while they do those procedures inside your mouth. Michelle has a very quiet and nice disposition while making you feel confident that everything will be OK once the dentist has finished her work. If I had young children, I would bring them to Dr. Hallisey and Michelle.
The office is super clean and everybody is nice there. They play nice music and I love the «box of puppies» movie that plays on their video monitors. Makes you forget about what’s happening in your oral cavity.

Just got back from my first appointment with Dr. Hallisey Pesa… I am floored. What a wonderful dentist and such a nice person! One of my doctors recently told me, «doctors aren’t trained in compassion. They’re trained in numbers and science. And we as patients seek out the compassionate ones.» Dr. Hallisey Pesa couldn’t be more personable, patient and compassionate.
I get nervous about going to the dentist in general, and I was even more nervous trying a new one. I’ve had the same dentist for awhile in the town I grew up in, but since moving a few years ago it’s been tough to get back up there every time I need something done. It was time to take the plunge into new dentistdom, and after reading these Unilocal reviews I was hoping for the best.
Her exam room is full of fun things to look at while you’re back in the chair — post cards on the ceiling, a ‘digital aquarium’ on the TV, a fountain, framed photos/​art, a mobile, and there’s a window to look outside, too. Her assistant was just as nice as she was and made the unnerving process of dental work as calm and pleasant as it could possibly be.
I am so relieved to know I’ve found such a great dentist that I can feel comfortable with. Even though I have to have a filling in a few weeks, it makes it a little less scary knowing Dr. Hallisey is the one doing it.

Props to Karen. Sorry: «Doctor Pesa». The most genuinely caring and helpful individual you will ever meet — not to mention as a dentist. If you are in the area and looking for a dentist, see if she is accepting new patients and GO. You won’t be disappointed!!!

Dr Hallisey Pesa got me in right away for an emergency, despite being a new patient and everything. Was incredibly nice, and my problem was taken care of pronto! The whole office is full of really nice people :)
Quite pleased, and am glad she’s taking care of me!

Oh my God, OH MY GOD!!! Dr. Hallisey is exactly the reason people should not hate dentists.
I am very apprehensive about going to the dentist (because I think people sticking their ands in my mouth is kind of icky). Dr. Hallisey and the whole staff makes you feel so comfortable and welcome that you almost forget you are at the dentist.
Today was my first time seeing Dr. H. So, knowing I would need to fill out the necessary paperwork, I arrived 20 minutes early for my appointment. No sooner was I finished my paperwork, I was sitting in a chair beginning my exam. No wait, let me repeat that… NO WAIT!!! When I met Dr. H, she was super friendly and engaging. It was like all of my anxiety disappeared. And, the cutest thing ever: her patients send her post cards from their vacations which she posts on the ceiling over the chair in her office. I thought this was a really nice touch. Not only does it give you something to look at while your lying back in the chair, but it shows how much her patients love her. Who sends their dentist a postcard from St. Croix?
So to recap, Dr. Hallisey is freaking fantastic!
