Denise Poulin, MD

I deliver compassionate, quality care that focuses on the entire patient and their families. With over 2 decades of experience practicing pediatrics, I am well equipped to meet parents and children where they're at in their development. I like watching children grow and develop. I appreciate being able to educate them on their physical and mental health so they can carry those skills far into their future. I've wanted to be a pediatrician since I was about 5. I had a wonderful pediatrician for my entire childhood and, since I was little, I've been fascinated with how the body works. I love children, and I always had a desire for caring for them and keeping them healthy. Patients and their families tell me I’m good at listening and being caring, kind, and compassionate. I like putting patients at ease. Usually kids are fun and playful, so it’s easy to put them at ease that way. If I can help them achieve both their desired physical and mental health in a relaxed, caring environment, that’s a success.

Orthopaedics is the perfect fit for me. It allows me to be involved in my patients' physical and mental health, while also coaching them to live their lives without physical limitations. The most important thing I can do for my patients is to smile and be calm and welcoming. I take the time to introduce myself and explain how I am going to take care of them and help them reach their goals. I do my best to make their trip to the hospital less stressful and more enjoyable. I really enjoy seeing people get back to doing what they love and want to do, whether that means their careers, favorite hobbies, or extreme sports. I know how much those activities mean to me. Helping my patients return to their favorite activities is why I do this job.
