Dr. Hyacinthe's Biography — Laurence Hyacinthe, DMD, better known as Dr. Laurie, was born and raised in Montreal, Canada. After graduating from the dental school at McGill University in 2004, she moved to New York City to complete a General Practice Residency at Mount Sinai Hospital.

She completed the two-year program at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2010. She is board certified in both Pediatric dentistry and Dental Anesthesiology and holds hospital appointments at Lutheran Medical Center and the Mount Sinai Health System.
