This was my first visit to Tarrytown Dental in a long time--my last visit was in 2019. I've been a patient here for more than 10 years, and this visit reminded me why I always liked this place. Vanessa at the front desk was as welcoming and informative as ever. The team, including Michelle, Kelly, and Dr. Brinkey, were very helpful in figuring out what was causing my toothache. They efficiently scheduled referrals, appointments, and more. Their building has ample parking spots, some of which are shaded--a great feature, especially in the summer. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'm glad to be back. Definitely a highly recommended dental practice! read more

Negligent, had poor skills overall and missed deep cavities which if treated earlier would have made a different course for my teeth. Choose wisely as your health and dental matter. I assumed that people in this field had basic ethics and skills, but it is very unregulated. Sometimes, you don't realize things until later, so this review is to help others with that. read more

It's been 11 years since my last review of Tarrytown Dental, so that means I've been going there for 13 years -- wow! I just got a filling done today and it was quick, in and out in about half an hour, and absolutely painless. Dr. Brinkley and his assistant had the procedure down to a science. I want to say that the same people have been working here for the decade+ that I've been going to this dentist, which probably means that they're happy at their jobs (or so I hope!) read more

I was coming here for about 10 years. It started getting awkward with the white older lady at the front desk. She was always so nice to me until the last few years she just kept giving me the cold shoulder or would just walk away, for me to be dealt with by the other younger women behind the desk. It was my favorite dentist but not for the price and not for the customer experience. read more

I love my dentist. I didn't know if I'd ever find another good dentist after moving away from home, but I did with Dr. Brinkley at Tarrytown Dental. While I've only met Dr. Brinkley once, I do know that he is polite and professional and knowledgeable and that his staff are absolutely outstanding. From the wonderful, professional women at the front desk to the hygienists in back, I can't say enough good things. I came in, they did an initial evaluation, we set out a plan, and we are working our way through it. My mouth is cleaner than ever because of their work and advice. Jennie is my hygienist, and she has taken such good care of me. We did a deep gum cleaning, and she did everything in her power to make sure that it was a comfortable experience for me. Headphones, dark glasses, topical numbing in addition to the shots, and kept me up to date on how much more we had to go. I've gone back in for a checkup, and she remembers me (we're both east Texans), and she was so sweet about telling me how much better my teeth and gums looked. I blame her for my clean mouth. read more

Dr. Brinkley is The Man. Highly skilled and experienced. He is supported by a great team of assistants, hygienist, and office staff. I have been seeing Dr. Brinkley for 8 years, lots of bridge and crown work. It does not get any better that Tarrytown Dental. When I first went there, I was slightly reluctant because I thought anything with the word "TARRYTOWN" in it, was going to cost a fortune. What a pleasant surprise to discover their prices were not inflated! You don't have to be Bill Gates to get cutting edge dental work in Tarrytown! I have never had a long wait in 8 years, ever. They have my trust and my highest recommendation! Jim H. Austin TX read more

I was new to Austin and needed to find a good dentist. I checked out a few before discovering Dr Brinkley (thanks to my co-workers for the suggestion). When it comes to my mouth, I am a huge wimp. I hate pain. The dentist is super legit and walked me through each procedure and let me decide on what we should do from there. Never once did he come off as pushy or condescending. Also they always run on time so I do not have to wait. Seriously thanks to this place I have gotten over my fear of dentists! read more

I'm usually a Yelp reader and not a writer and I'm dedicating my time because I feel it's worth it to tell everyone how awesome Dr. Brinkley is. Having moved here a little over a few years ago and having always gone to the same dentist since I was 5, I was nervous to be in the city and have to find a dentist I trusted, was comfortable with, etc etc. Dr. Brinkley is awesome. His offices are so clean, there is parking in the back so you don't have to worry about stressing out about street parking or parking decks. I went for a check up a few months ago and realized I had a cavitiy... when I went to get it filled it was quick, easy, and painless... and believe me.. I freak out in dentists chairs. He's awesome. I can't recommend him more. read more

I am one of those rare folks who actually likes the dentist. I have had some great dental experiences, but when I moved to Austin I had a sub par experience and then slacked off going for about a year. My sister recently went to Dr. Brinkley and insisted I give it a try. I was not disappointed. 1) Super friendly. My first appointment smooth. 2) Insanely prompt, it was my first appointment so x-rays and the full program, but I no wait at all. I went from completing the paperwork, directly to having the x-rays and pictures taken of my teeth. 3) Honest. The reason I didn't love my first Austin dental experience was they found what they called a "cosmetic concern" and recommended / pushed a very expensive treatment not covered by insurance, and then continued to call me frequently. Dr. Brinkley gave me several options and let me decide what I wanted to do with my teeth. 4)Clean and Comfortable. Very clean, which is a deal breaker when it comes to a dentist. Nice extra touches and very modern high tech. 5) Overall Experience was beyond good. read more

The best dental experience I have ever had! Having only ever experienced either poor work, ridiculous diagnoses, false billing for procedures either fully covered or not performed, or a combination of the above, I was not looking forward to trying yet another dentist. However, I had a great experience with the team here, and definitely recommend you check them out (I'll be back if I'm ever in the area again!): 1) Great attention to detail, careful work with high standards: 2) Straight forward, and no up-selling or sketchy diagnoses: My #1 pet peeve is when dentists take a look, and declare a dozen cavities that need to be filled. 3) Minimal wait time: My#2 pet peeve. I have been in this office and several of my family members and they have always been on time. If you're looking for a thorough, trustworthy dental team who will give you real advice for your teeth, definitely check out Dr. Brinkley. read more

Okay, I am picky when it comes to Dentists. Well, any Doctor for that matter. Well, okay......anything for that matter. My Dentist dropped my dental insurance so I had to find another Dentist. I found Dr. Brinkley on a referral from an Orthodontist who she recognized his name from her dental school. Well, SO GLAD she did. He is awesome!! I just saw him again today. Been going there for 4 years now. Love him! In a satisfied dental patient way. He has state of the art equipment. When my xrays were taken today...no developing. It automatically gets transferred and developed on the computer! Way too cool. He has a flat screen where he puts pictures of your teeth on so you can see what he's talking about. He doesn't recommend anything that doesn't need to be done just to make money. I find him to be an honest and upfront Dentist. The people he has working in his office are GREAT! They are always on time for appointments and give reminder calls/post cards for appointments. The only bad thing I have to say about it is they don't serve champagne to you upon your arrival. :) read more

Top notch service without sales pitches and extraneous services. Dr. Brinkley tells it like it is. He doesn't try to up sell you spa services or cosmetic procedures, although he is equipped and experienced in both. Simply put, his goal is to keep your mouth healthy. I have got the same hygienist every time, so it is like being with familiar friends. the homey office and treatment rooms are nicely appointed which makes the place feel less clinical. it is always a treat to visit. read more

Denise is one the sweetest employees there! Her bright smile and warm sense of humor makes me feel like I'm part of a family, rather than just a customer :-) read more

Dr. Brinkley is an excellent dentist. He & his staff will go the extra mile to take care of you. I rarely write Yelp reviews, but I had to give Dr. Brinkley a quick 5 star review to say thank you for taking care of me & my boyfriend. read more

I went to see Dr. Brinkley at Tarrytown Dental via a recommendation from a friend and fellow patient. The staff was very friendly, helpful and by them filing insurance, they provided a great, efficent service. The dentist was very nice, kind, and made me feel comfortable. The trust level came on quickly! The office is located in the middle of Tarrytown in the old convent on the corner of Exposition and Westover. By being in the building, it gives a unique flavor to going to the dentist! I highly recommend this practice for all read more

I had a great dental experience at Tarrytown dental. The staff and Dr are friendly and professional. No up selling or unnecessary conversation. I trust them with my dental needs. read more

Have always been faithful to visits to the dentist every six months even though it's one of my lease favorite things to do. Finally having to join the ranks of having a crown, Dr. Brinkley truly took time to listen to my long list of fears! read more

The best dentist I have ever been to. He has a very caring and attentive staff from the front desk, to the hygienists to DrBrinkley himself. They get you in on time, perform the work and get you out quickly, no waiting around. They have the latest tools and technology. Easier, less painful cleanings and Dr Brinkley throughly explains all about your dental health. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great dentist that is genuinely concerned about his patients care. read more

This is the best Dentist office in Austin! Staff is very Friendly as always and they use state of the art equipment. You really feel that they properly clean your teeth and they really care. read more

I've been with them for years now and have always been impressed with them. I have recommended colleges to them who have also been happy. Their facilities are modern and clean. The staff and hygienists are professional but also really nice and Dr. Brinkley is fantastic. read more

Dr. Brinkley at Tarrytown Dental has been the best dentist my family has seen (and we've been through quite a few). We've been going here for about five years now and never had a single complaint. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, nice building. Overall great service. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Brinkley was my dentist for years and aside from his acerbic staff, I really felt cared for until this past year when, due to a root canal, my insurance was all used up. Instead of informing me that I was being charged out of pocket for a cleaning and unnecessary x-rays, I was sent a huge bill. On my followup visit, still not having insurance funds available the staff argued with me about whether I had insurance coverage or not. As soon as they verified that I didn't they whipped the x-ray apron off me and said they wouldn't be doing anything extra. I got the strong sense that I had been overcharged for various visits in the past which had been covered by my insurance. Dr. Brinkley is a great dentist but his office, staff and practices are questionable and appear to be very money-hungry. read more

Dr. Brinkley is kind and caring. Technically, he is clearly first-rate. Due to some earlier bad experiences I have an irrational fear of dental work, but Dr. B. is very understanding. And his office staff and hygenists--wow, I can't praise them enough. They know that many of us have a slightly constrained budget and are respectful of that. Plus, the office is in an old convent building and is really nice! read more

Just left the office - was in and out, new patient + x rays and cleaning - in 1 hour. Staff was excellent - Dr. Brinkley was very thoughtful and non alarmist. Highly recommend - and loved the convenient location and ample parking. read more

This is my first Yelp review ever but, I just had to let people know what a great guy & dentist Dr. Brinkley is. His staff is awesome too. I am 56 years old and have been to a lot of dentist & am so happy to have found one that I like, trust & respect. Everything good said about him in the other reviews is true. I highly recommend him. read more

Best Dentist! Our whole family is with Tarrytown Dental. He's great with kids and adults. He has an amazing chairside manner, very thorough with explanations, and obviously takes pride in his work. He has a relaxed and humble demeanor, also. We highly recommend Dr. Brinkley and his team to everyone. read more

Very close to my home in West Austin. The staff is very friendly over the phone and in person. Dr. Brinkley is very kind and gentle and explains what is going to do or not do, as if I were a part of his family. The office is very warm and inviting. They file your insurance and helps with uderstanding the crazy world of insurance. I recommend coming here if you are looking for a new place in Tarrytown read more
