I was completely dreading my appointment today because it was to have a tooth pulled and my dress was due to my past experiences with the same issue (i.e. wisdom teeth and a broken tooth that couldn’t be repaired) but after my appointment today, I can honestly say I will making all of my upcoming appointments with her. She knew I was nervous and worried about possible pain I was about to be in and all the while showed me nothing but care and compassion. Having a tooth pulled is not a gentle process what so ever but she definitely made it as gentle and pain free as any dentist could ever do. I like to think that I’m good dealing with pain but when it comes to mouth pain, I am a baby but good thing for me is that I chose her to do the procedure because the pain I did experience was very minimal. I was prepared to be put in so much pain during and after the procedure but to my surprise, there was barely any during and hardly any now as I write this and my appointment was just a couple of hours ago. And one last kudos to her is that all of this was done today, a Saturday. From what I understand, she’s open 1 Saturday a month . I don’t know of other dentists that do that except for an emergency visit. Ever since I moved, it’s not feasible for me to go my old dentist but now I am so happy that I have found her. Sorry my comments were so long but I wanted to make sure everybody knew about the great experience I had! Thank you Dr. Collier!

This was by far the best dental experience I have ever had. Dr. Collier was very thorough with my examination and explained her concerns to me and showed me visual images of my teeth to help me understand those concerns! I am super excited she accepts my insurance and to come by for my next visit!! I highly recommend her!!

This office is wonderful. Everyone is so professional and kind. You feel like you are the only patient they are seeing all day and they want your experience to be perfect. My cleaning was wonderful and Dr. Collier spends time with you explaining what she sees and what steps to take to rectify the issue. I am comfortable with everything and that is quite a bit when you walk into a dentist office. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

Dr. Michelle Collier is the best dental professional I have ever experienced. She is cordial, kind, and really cares about me. The staff at her practice is also very professional and caring. I always come out feeling better than when I went in because of the superb level of care with which I was treated.

Dr.Collier and her staff are amazing! I commute an hour and a half for my family’s appointments if that says anything at all! She actually listens to what her patients like and don’t like about their smile, gives her professional opinion and takes the time to discuss what your options are. Today I walked out of Waterstone Dentistry with the smile I’ve been dreaming about my whole life! I am beyond happy with what she has done for me!

From the moment I walked in to the dentist office,very comfortable environment in a modern office and equipments, I was greeted and welcomed by the friendly staff of Dr Michele Collier. The hygienist was very friendly and made me feel good about the way she took care of my teeth, she was very helpful and also told me of the types of tooth brush and toothpaste i should be using,she listened to me and explained caring for my gum and teeth, I was very pleased.

The entire team at Waterstone is EXCELLENT. I am really glad that my former dentist stopped accepting the NC State Health Plan insurance because I have upgraded my dental care by going to Waterstone. The services are professional, personable and painless and the office is really nice. They make going to the dentist a great experience because they are such cool people. Highly recommended!

Dr. Collier and her fantastic team provide truly first class care at Waterstone Family Dentistry (WFD). Whether it is for regular check-ups or emergency work, the level of service is impeccable. The WFD team also continually go above and beyond in post-appointment follow up and with recommendations on dental coverage options. We could not be happier with the service provided 🙂

Dr. Collier is a wonderful, wonderful dentist! Very professional, very friendly, and makes it a “pleasure” to go to a dentist! My husband and I have been to her over 3 years each – and each time we go we are very pleased. We are glad that we found such a great dentist after moving to this area. I would not hesitate to make Dr. Collier your dentist!

★★★★★

As someone who doesn’t naturally find dental visits appealing, my experience at Waterstone exceeded all expectations and left me comfortable and excited about my new relationship with Waterstone. If you are looking for a dentist you can trust, I would encourage you to look no further than Dr. Collier and her wonderful team.

I just had my first cleaning at Waterstone after an embarrassingly long hiatus from the dentist. They were so nice and understanding and did not judge my situation. We have a great plan set up to deal with issues found today and I will be back every 6 months for scheduled cleanings. I cannot day enough good things.

PROS *Very clean and professional office – modern dental technology *Marina the administrator is funny *They do your cleaning exam in the same appointment *Dr Michele has a great temperament and so easy to work with – she is knowledgeable, calm, and has a gentle and charming sense of humor *Great value for what I paid (I thought it was more than reasonable) *KID FRIENDLY – wow my 1 year old was super happy here and my wife’s family with 7+ kids come here for their dental needs *Hygienist had one of the gentlest and greatest touches I’ve ever experienced *Felt like they had no desire to sell me unnecessary things or ask me unnecessary questions AREAS TO CONSIDER/IMPROVE *Make sure patient can see the television (if desired) *Would have liked more information/detail about what is actually happening during the process of the exam and cleaning (could just be the curious and details part me of me) SUMMARY Great experience here. We live in Durham and like them so much we are willing to drive 45 minutes. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I are new to the area. This was our first experience with Waterstone Family Dentistry! It was great! The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful in ALL ways! Our Hygenist, Brooke was so sweet, and very considerate, asking often if we needed anything. Our Dentist, Dr. Collier was down to earth, passionate about her job and overall very nice. We loved the intimacy of the small office with “One on One,” experience! My husband and I are looking forward to our next visit! We would recommend this Dentistry to anyone!

★★★★★

What an excellent dentist’s office. All the staff are polite, professional, and punctual in all aspects of dental care! They even have televisions positioned above the dental chair! Dr. Collier and all the hygienists are fantastic as well. They take the time to read your chart and get to know you on a personal level. Unlike most dentists in the past, Dr. Collier took twenty minutes of her time just to talk about me, life, school, Fuquay, etc. Most importantly, the hygienists are gentle, yet thorough when they perform a cleaning and polishing. Thank you Waterstone Family Dentistry! My wife and I will most definitely be back.

I have worked for many dentist in my dental assisting career and Dr. Collier is by far one of the best. She us very gentle, caring, and concerned with each and every patient she sees. She has very up to date technology and materials and knowledge. You can tell she loves what she does and she treats patients with the upmost service from beginning to end. She also has a lot of patience with patients with anxiety and with children. In my personal and professional opinion she is superb!

I have always been afraid of going to the dentist. Since I have been going to Dr.Collier, my experience has been great. I am no longer afraid. If I am nervous, her and her staff are so kind, friendly, fun and professional, I calm down immediately. I really like the calm and welcoming atmosphere of the office. I believe that I have found a long term dentist. Thanks for being so understanding and hospitable.

Honestly, My husband and I have been truly blessed with our Dentist Office(Waterstone) and our Dentist Dr. Michelle Collier. She treats us like “Family.” The experience is always down to earth, simple, clear and concise and enjoyable. Our Dental Assistant Tech is amazing….she is always sociable, with a smile on her face, and willing to serve! My husband and I have gone to 2-3 other dentist offices prior to finding Waterstone. These offices were always “Business,” never friendly or family orientated. We felt like a “Number,” instead of a person. Once we were recommended to Waterstone by our Dental Insurance Company, we have enjoyed it ever since. We have been there approximately a year. We love it and can’t wait to take our new little one there: )

Each staff member was courteous, helpful and professional. Check in, as a new patient, was fast and easy and the receptionist was helpful with my questions. The cleaning was very well done by, yet again, a upbeat professional employee. Dr Collier, asked pertinent questions about my general and dental health and did a full exam. The x-rays I had done revealed a small cavity that the doctor explained to me and showed me on the film. I love the thoroughness and inclusion I experienced with Dr. Collier. This is the practice for me!

★★★★★

The visit was great. The staff is professional and courteous. In, by definition, a stressful environment, they do all they can to make you feel comfortable and at ease. And it works. They have state of the art equipment. The facilities are clean, welcoming, and give a sense of calmness. Highly recommendable.

Michele is my favorite dentist. The office staff is friendly and caring. She is very good at her job. I did not feel any pain, just the usual numbness. I had a crown put in and it went really smoothly. Making an appointment was also very easy and her office sends reminders that makes life easier.

Kimberly Tran (Source: Google)

★★★★★

Dr. Collier and her team are absolutely top notch! The cleanings are gentle and thorough, my appointments are easy to schedule with great reminders, and her dental expertise is obvious. I have never had to wait for ANYTHING! Excellent dentist with an excellent staff. Highly recommended for families!

I just moved into the area and started looking for a dentist. I was Referred to Waterstone by Triangle Family Dentistry bc they took my specific insurance and I’m glad they did! The first thing I noticed was how nice the clinic was! I was quickly greeted and checked in. The dental hygienist Barbara and Dr. Collier were very pleasant! They made sure I was very comfortable and took the time to really educate me about my teeth and talk about various options I had. They also have a flat panel tv screen you can watch while you get your teeth cleaned which was a plus! 🙂 I would definitely recommend.

★★★★★

Dr. Collier and all of the staff at Waterstone are just wonderful. They are always so helpful, and willing to work with you. When my permanent retainer broke, they were quick to get me in and fix it. I’ve been going here over two years now and have a wonderful experience every time. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a dentist in the Fuquay Varina area!

Awesome experience with my whole family. They were awesome with my 4 year old and my 21 month old and my 4 year old even won the prize for having no cavities and this was her first visit to the dentist! I couldn’t be happier with our treatment. Dr. Collier is awesome and the dental hygienist was spectacular with my daughter. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dr Collier and her team of Waterstone Dentistry are very professional, polite, pleasant and respectful. Dr Collier explains the procedure with pictures and makes you comfortable. She is very thorough with excellent chair side manners. Appointments are kept on time. We highly recommend Waterstone Dentistry.

If you are looking for a nice,friendly,and caring doctor for all your dental needs then Dr.Michelle Collier is the doctor that you are looking for! She is experienced in a wide range of treatment options in the dental field. I went to her office because of a tooth ache that I was experiencing and she educated me on my options for treatment! She was very thorough about my dental needs and she will definitely be my dentist for life!

★★★★★

Dr. Michele Collier and her staff made me feel very comfortable from the moment I walked into their new office on day one. They treated me with respect and kindness and their facility in Fuquay Varina is the nicest dentist office I have ever been to. I recently had a back molar extracted and was a little apprehensive about the procedure, but once again, Dr. Collier and her staff put me at ease. The experience was the best it could have been due to how well the staff treated me and the level of professionalism and gentle care that Dr. Collier provides to her patients. Like anyone, the dentist office is not my favorite place to be, but I really like Dr. Michele Collier and her staff at Waterstone Family Dentistry !

★★★★★

We selected Waterstone because it was close to our office, but we couldn’t have been luckier selecting a local dentist! We never have to wait for our appointments, we have been seen at the last minute for dental emergencies, and they are always friendly and attentive during our visits. The front desk staff is very friendly. The hygienist is gentle and thorough. Dr. Collier is always bright and friendly when she comes in the room. We do their yearly program which provides 2 cleanings, exam, and a discount on any procedures. It’s a great value! 5 stars

Dr Collier is awesome!!! She makes you feel like you’re a part of her family. I am always a little nervous when I visit the dentist, but at my first appointment with Dr Collier, she was able to calm me and help me through the entire visit. Because of this, she will always be my dentist!!! Also, her office is super clean!!! That is a very important factor. Also, her staff is also awesome. Thank Dr C and staff!!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Collier to anyone who needs a dentist or is not happy with the one they have. She and her assistant were both very friendly, professional and caring. They made my son and I both feel at ease. My son had to have a tooth removed and Dr. Collier took her time and thoroughly explained the procedure and care needed afterwards. I will be making an appointment for both my children to have their teeth cleaned in this office very soon. I am thrilled to have found a great new dentist for my family.

As a person that avoids dentists at all costs, Waterstone Family Dentistry was a real pleasure to visit. An accommodating staff, great atmosphere, clean equipment and facilities, they seem to have it all. Best of all, Dr. Collier listened to all of my concerns and we came up with a plan of action TOGETHER, whereas my previous experiences with other dentists had them trying to force me into plans that didn’t always fit my needs. I honestly can’t wait to go back and get to work on fixing my smile.

Very kid friendly! My 2 & 5 year old came for a exam & cleaning and it was a VERY good experience, they are already looking forward coming back again! All the staff is super friendly and patient. Office is clean and plenty of toys/videos to keep the little ones busy. I highly recommend!

From receptionists to hygienists, I have always received personal and professional care. The office and facilities are beautiful and their dental equipment is state of the art. Dr Collier is the best dentist I’ve ever had! I’m now 4 hours away but wouldn’t think of going to anyone else. She’s very knowledgeable, thorough and an incredibly good dentist. She takes time to answer my questions and explains each step as she goes along. And for anyone afraid of injections, I have yet to feel even one of hers. She is truly gifted for doing this dread and everytime I have an appointment, it seems she’s figured a way to make them even more comfortable. To bad there’s not a 10 star rating because 5 is not enough. Tommy
