Sorry to read about Dr Jack Pierce’s passing. My sympathy his family. He was the best most patient dentist for me that had been traumatized by a earlier experience from an aggressive dentist without freezing for pain. He was a great friend of my uncle Stephen Holm in Wpg and Neepawa. I also was a patient of his brother Moe and his son-in-law Dr David Brodovsky. - Posted by: Janet Young Bradley (A patient as a child in Neepawa ) on: Feb 01, 2023
