    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.

    Yesterday, my 4-year-old daughter visited Schenectady Pediatric Dentistry for a cavity in one of…read moreher molars. Although the dentist recommended having it treated, I was extremely anxious--mainly because of her young age, the fact that it was a baby tooth, and my concerns about the procedure and any medications involved. Still, I knew it needed to be addressed to prevent her from developing a painful toothache that could affect her daily life. At the appointment, we met the new provider, Kat (Katherine) Dority, and I cannot praise her enough. Even though I wasn't the patient, she showed incredible patience with me first--listening to my concerns, explaining why the treatment was recommended, and walking me through every step of the process. Her thorough explanations and calm reassurance significantly eased my anxiety. She was wonderfully gentle with my daughter, offering positive affirmations throughout the visit and explaining each step in a way a 4-year-old could easily understand. As someone who has never been a fan of dental visits--and clearly has a lot of anxiety around them--I was genuinely impressed. I would absolutely recommend this office, and especially Kat Dority. P.S. I forgot to mention, the filling procedure was quick and painless for my 4yo.

    This place is exceptional!…read more We were visiting here from out of town and our 18 month old chipped 2 teeth at a playground. They saw us in 50 minutes as we drove over at high speed. They were able to perform X-rays, and then file down the chipped teeth so they weren't sharp without incident. Total emergency time chipped teeth to walking our dentist: 2 hours. Super friendly! Beautiful office setup!

I was informed the entire time that he would not remember any of this. It was a guarantee he wouldn't remember it. He remembered everything and felt everything. They didn't give him any time for the shot to kick in before he started drilling away at his teeth. My son screamed and cried the entire time that they were hurting him, and that he was feeling everything, for them to just reassure me that he wouldn't remember any of it and he was basically just over exaggerating. I called to speak with someone (Karen) She informed me that it's only a 50-50 chance that the medication would work, that is not at all what I was told. I told her if I knew that I would have just taken him to a dentist that puts them under. I was also told that the doctor doing the procedure was supposed to talk to me about the medication and he never did that. He came in asked how we were. Made sure I signed everything and then walked out. I also had no clue he was gonna be strapped down. He kept saying he couldn't breathe. Later he told me the strap was tight. He has asthma something they knew and I would assume would have been brought up. I'm so mad I didn't walk out as soon as I saw them doing that. They don't care about ur child. Just that paycheck. Go somewhere else.

    You know, I would have given my dentist a standard 3* for being a stand up guy that runs an honest…read moreoperation. But then I got a cavity. This may be surprising to some, but I'm not a tough guy. I spent most of my life cavity free. Then some time in my late 20s I had a really bad experience getting a few cavities filled. Actually they were my first and last cavities. That is until recently. Dr. Cummings numbed me up and it was done before I knew it. Can't say I'm an expert on getting fillings. And I can't say that I'm eager to get another one. But I am very glad that the one I needed was not traumatic.

    Note that despite the 2* rating, I still use this guy; seeking new dentists is not high on my…read morepriority list :). So why the poor rating? Not for Robert Cummings himself - he has exceptionally gentle hands, is communicative and responsive, no issues with care at all. He's the reason I return. Moreover, the reception/appointment staff are really first-rate and friendly. BUT: the hygienists are far from gentle and patronising (that's the worst aspect); there is a strong tendency (in my opinion/experience) to recommend work that may not be needed (for example, two prior fillings "show cracks and need redrilling urgently" - well, that was a year ago and still no problem, thanks); and the place is rather run-down, with no distraction (TV, or even pictures to look at) during the time in the chair. Not terrible, but no reason to really recommend.
