The dental office is very cool and has video games in the lobby. Cool!

The charges are consistent with median for the area and are affordable. Children of the same family are in the open concept space together, yet separate.

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.

I went here as a kid since I was first able to go to the dentist actually and I stopped going here…read morebecause my mother needed to move and it was to far. However that's not the real issue. I shouldn't have been going back to Kotlow after the very first visit. My brothers shouldn't have neither. I am now 21 years old and I am still beyond traumatized to go to the dentist. This man "dr" kotlow held me down with his hand on my chest and told me not to cry as I was in agonizing pain from a procedure of caps being put in and I had no lidocaine. Mind you I was around like 5-6 and I'm on the freaking spectrum. I'm autistic so I was panicking cause of the pain and the noise and this dude was yelling at me holding me down. You should be ashamed of yourself. And I hate seeing you respond on everyone's comments trying to make yourself look like and angel kotlow. You know what you did to me. That's why on Google when I rated this same exact rate you said absolutely nothing to me. Because you know you are a sick cruel man. The only thing I can say for anyone possible reading this. DO NOT TAKE YOURE CHILDREN TO THIS PSYCHO! And if your children are seeing this horrible man... if they say something like this believe it because it's 100% freaking true and it could ruin your kids mouth in the future. And if you're reading the Kotlow I know you remember me and definitely remember this. And just know this won't go away. I plan on taking this to court eventually. You should be disgusted with yourself kotlow.

We were all very satisfied with the care we received. (Cue the ominous music) Then the practice became part of the First Advantage chain and everything went to hell in a cuspidor. Dr. Shah left. Tia left. The practice began to feel like a factory. Yes, Dr. Mandava is very nice, but at a minimum I would expect him to read my records before asking me why I came in. I had X-rays taken by a cheerful young woman who told me her only academic qualifications were a high school diploma. I was also seen by a young man who told me he was a licensed dentist from a Caribbean country but had no US credentials. I love young people. I adore immigrants. However, I hate "chain practices" and was reluctant to continue entrusting my choppers to this practice. I have sought dental care elsewhere.

Last summer I had a procedure done. Because I had to have 3 appointments (2 for the procedure and 1 for the follow up, I was given a break down of how much I would be charged for each visit. I do not have dental insurance. Today was my follow up appointment. When I checked in the receptionist informed me the cost would be about 3.5 times more. When I questioned her about the discrepancy the manager (Amanda) came over. I explained everything to her and was told she was new and that rules and prices had changed. I asked if she would be able to print out a copy of the price list I received over the summer. Amanda told me it wasn't on the computer after shouting at the receptionist (who had a hearing impairment). This manager showed me a list of what I needed to have done today, including an x ray. I said I didn't think I needed one, but would discuss it with my dentist during my appointment. Amanda said I could not go back for my appointment until I signed the paper indicating I would pay for all the items on the list. I again said that I would like to discuss these "necessities" with my health care provider since this was not part of the plan last time I was in the office. I have never left the dentist office without paying any bill in full. She then gave me a paper telling me I can sign it for them to send my file to another office. I did so and left. I have never had such a rude and disrespectful interaction with any "professional ". I am disgusted and will not be returning.
