Plainly, the best in the region. I took my sons to another orthodontist, recommended by a friend;…read morehowever, when I decided to get braces for myself, an associate - in passing - mentioned Northeast. It was the best decision I ever made. This team is professional, caring, funny, hospitable and so about their patients. Dr. Allwood is above the rest. Truly. They all made me feel like I was the only one in the office when it came to their attentiveness to my needs. My sons got cheated, for I was not happy with their care at all. If you're wavering in your choices or have doubts about "one vs the other", I promise you, Northeast Orthodontic Associates is the only choice. I'll end with this: I moved to another state and I have and will travel the almost 5 hours just to have them care for my smile - which I LOVE.

We checked with a lot of local…read moreparents before coming here, as it had the reputation for being just a tad more expensive than competing practices, but both the results and the professionalism have made it well worth it thus far. The business side is flawless: check ins and initial intake are handled very well, and we got good help when the very partial dental insurance reimbursement for one kid's choppers went to the wrong place. Appointment times are kept very close, and are offered at school-friendly times for routine visits (although more extensive things may have to be scheduled earlier in the day). Throw in amenities: parent coffee and tea (the good stuff), mostly-working video game consoles (keeps the younger kids occupied) and a cheery if occasionally a bit crowded waiting area. Dr. DeLuke's extremely friendly with both parents and kids and explains things well without being condescending, and the medical assistant staff are also chipper and efficient without making it seem like you're rushed. So it has that happy medium of being pretty quick but if you need more time to have things explained, not a problem. One extra touch: one of my kids has a hearing problem for which he sees an ENT; Dr DeLuke took the time to get us a CD of the full scans he did for the orthodonture intake to show all the relevant parts of the head that we could take to the ENT at his next visit, who appreciated them. I take this as a sign he's a medical professional first, as it were, and an orthodontist second, and that's what you want in a specialty practitioner.

Pediatric Dentistry of Albany. In my personal opinion, this office is chaotic, confusing, and…read moreincredibly unprofessional from start to finish. Our appointment was at 2:30 PM, yet we weren't taken back until 3:30 PM -- a full hour late. Meanwhile, I watched multiple people who checked in after us walk right in before us. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. Just complete disregard for our time. When we finally got seen, everything felt rushed, cold, and sloppy. They used what felt like a basic, non-professional camera to take photos of my child's teeth, which only made the whole appointment seem even more careless. And to make things worse, it looked to me like they had tools sitting out in the check-in area, which gave a terrible first impression and made the office feel completely disorganized. And the worst part? The orthodontist told me my child needed braces first and then the extra tooth removed. But every other dentist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon we spoke to afterward gave the opposite treatment plan -- that the extra tooth should be removed first, and then braces. Hearing completely opposite opinions made the whole situation feel even more frustrating and made me lose confidence in this office entirely. There was no clear communication, no reassurance for my child, and no sense that anyone cared about how stressful this was for us. In my experience, this establishment is horrible -- disorganized, inconsiderate, and not somewhere I would ever trust with my child again. I left furious, disappointed, and determined never to return. If you're a parent, my honest advice is this: go anywhere else. Save yourself the stress, the confusion, and the wasted time.
