    READ WHOLE REVIEW: My first impression of this place was not good. Seemed like a factory, a quick…read more15 min cleaning and not much talk, then off to the next child BUT then....My son needed to have some dental work at the age of three, he has ADHD and very serious needle anxiety due to some hospitalizations. These dentists were beyond amazing, the comfort and care they provided was outstanding. They dimmed the lights, took their time, and even sang to him to get him to calm down during the procedure. He now asks to go to the dentist and never fears if work needs to be done. I wish it was this easy to get him to go the pediatrician's office. I will bring him here until they won't take him any longer.

    This place is so useless. The care is shit call for a broken tooth the send you to the cleaning and…read morelooking a building in the back. And in two weeks later. After you listen to your child complain because they are unable they call. Not to mention it's over a 44 minute drive away. And the fucking annoying music that us knew songs and add the words smile lodge into them. I hate the scamming ass dentist.

    If you have kids and live in the Clifton Park area, this IS the dentist for you! Dr. Amy and her…read morestaff are amazing with kids. She got my 2yr old son to sit through an entire cleaning without a peep! My three year old daughter loves her and the cool toothpaste/toothbrush they use. In other words, my kids think going to the dentist is fun! Does it get any better?

    Dr. Amy is the most amazing pediatric dentist in the area. We drive from Altamont (approximately…read more40 minutes) to her office in Clifton Park, passing by at least 3 or 4 other pediatric dentists on the way. My son was 4 years old when he had his first dentist appointment with a pediatric dentist in Latham. He was more excited about the full arcade in the waiting room than anything else...During the cleaning, he was diagnosed with four cavities. I was devastated, as we brushed his teeth daily and he has overall excellent hygiene. Although the dentist explained everything to us, it all felt rushed. There was a huge waiting room full of clients and they needed to keep going. They ushered us to the front desk where we were assigned to a receptionist. We were given an estimate for what they recommended and told us they would contact us to schedule the appointment. I tried to ask some basic questions, but they were too busy and there was noone who was available to answer them - they would have to call me back. They called and informed me that although his teeth needed care, an appointment wasn't available until almost five months from that point. Again, I tried to ask some basic questions but was told I would have to speak to someone in a different department, and I never received a return call. I decided to get a 2nd opinion (and eventually, a third!) The original dentist wanted to perform the fillings using general anesthesia in a hospital OR, which I thought was insane for a four year old with cavities in his baby teeth. After speaking with our pediatrician, who explained that the fillings were necessary because these were actually molars that would be in for another eight years and had potential to rot his adult teeth underneath, I pursued our next opinion. This time I chose another pediatric dentist that was closer to home. This dentist agreed with the diagnosis of cavities. They discussed doing the fillings under a "sedative cocktail" in a room in their office - minimal monitoring equipment and if there was an emergency who knows what would have happened. I had heard horror stories about things going wrong with these procedures, and decided this was not what I wanted for my son. He was nervous with this dentist, too. Finally, under the recommendation of my childhood dentist (Dr. Fountain from Burnt Hills) I was lucky enough to find Dr. Amy! From the minute I met her I felt at ease. She did agree with the diagnosis also, but opted to try nitrous oxide for the fillings first. She was gentle and calming for our son, who tends to be anxious. She totally put him at ease. Although the nitrous didn't end up working and we did pursue fillings under general anesthesia at Ellis Hospital - Dr. Amy was with us every step of the way. She is competent and has excellent bedside manner. The procedure went perfect and she was able to "fix" all of the damaged teeth. We continue to choose Dr. Amy for our routine care for our son and our young daughter. Her entire staff is wonderful and I cannot say enough about them. If you are searching for a Pediatric Dentist - choose Dr. Amy! You will not be disappointed!

    As an autistic patient with significant dental anxiety, I am writing this to warn others. I have…read morestayed with this practice for 2 1/2 years because the previous providers were careful and neuro-affirming. Today was a complete failure of care. Clinical Safety & Professionalism: The new hygienist was incredibly rough, 'digging for gold' and causing me to bleed--something that has never happened here before. To make matters worse, they didn't even confirm my penicillin/amoxicillin allergies until AFTER the procedure was over and I was already bleeding. Judgmental Conduct: I felt deeply judged and stigmatized for taking Doxy-PreP. The hygienist knew nothing about it, had to look it up, and then treated me with an inappropriate, 'positive' bias. As a patient, I should not have to educate my provider on preventative care, nor should I be made to feel uncomfortable for my medical choices. The Office: There is a sign at checkout apologizing for a doctor and hygienist leaving, which explains the drop in quality. While the reception and checkout ladies are perfect and deserve 5 stars for their professionalism, the clinical side is currently unsafe and unprofessional. If you value your privacy, safety, and energy protection, I strongly suggest going elsewhere.

    The staff put the wrong doctors name on m paperwork to my insurance and they wouldn't pay because…read moreit was a doctor out of network. when you call the recepionist Kathy says it's up to u to know what your insurance covers like they won't tell you before the work you have to guess what kind of place does that too there patient
