Speaking of the wait... there's hardly ever a real wait!! There's nothing bad I can say about this place. Seriously lol.

The place is shadier then any dentist office I've ever been to and I grow up in the 90s there were some shady dentists offices. That the change you to much you have to go on a payment plan and you'll be lucky if you don't have to fill for bankruptcy to get the bill off you. Or if you can pay it before your child ages out of this dentist practice. I call it a practice because they're don't know what they are doing . They just practicing.

I switched to this dentist about a year ago and wanted to wait until I had had a couple of visits…read morebefore I reviewed it. I have to say, it's been the nicest and kindest office I have been to yet. The staff are all wonderful and my experiences have been nothing but positive. From the moment I walk in, I feel comfortable. The office is bright and clean. I'm greeted at the door and I'm never left waiting too long. It feels like everyone always has smiling faces-- even when I was once pretty late and they probably should have turned me away, they didn't (not that I advocate showing up late, but that just goes to show you how kind and patient they were with me). My hygienist is Nicole, but my husband sees Kari. Neither of us have a single complaint (and my husband is the hardest patient to please! He seems to hate anything related to the medical profession). I feel like most hygienists in my experience leave you with throbbing sore gums from poking and prodding, but neither of us ever feel that way with Nicole and Kari. They give great advice and referrals (my husband had to get his wisdom teeth pulled and the office they sent him to was equally wonderful). They are so easy-going and friendly. I actually enjoy seeing my hygienist each visit, as does my husband :) I love how high-tech everything is. X-rays are digital, they use computers to schedule our next appointment right in the room and give us a print-out of the newly scheduled date. They always call to confirm appointments and if I can't make it for some reason (for example, I ended up having surgery right before my last appointment and I hadn't even thought to call them to reschedule until my appt reminder) it's never a problem to reschedule and they get me in as quick as they can. Lastly, Dr. Zitofsky is great. I always feel comfortable in his care and he even diagnosed a jaw issue that none of my previous dentists had ever mentioned before. With his suggestions I am sleeping better and feeling better during the day! And his suggestions weren't monetary ones-- a simple prescription, and easy over-the-counter solution that I use as needed. We are talking maybe $20 every few months, not thousands or even hundreds. When my insurance didn't cover something, I was only charged the insurance rate (as I've seen in every practice I've been to, and that has been quite a few as I've moved around a lot). I'm just extremely satisfied overall with this entire office. It's easily the best office I've been a patient at and I feel so fortunate that it's the one I've chosen now that I've stopped moving around. My husband and I will be here for the years to come, and when we have children, there is no place I would feel more comfortable taking them.

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.
