The first two dentists I called didn't give me a good feeling. I called Dr Strumfeld's office and he answered the phone. We discussed my problem over the phone and he invited me in to pick up papers to come in following monday for xrays. Even leaving me with encouraging words over the phone. I arrived for xrays and was taught alot about my teeth and some misconceptions I had about my teeth. After teaching me about this stuff for over and hour he arrived upon a plan to fix my teeth fully with several extractions and fillings, for a very reasonable price. He was also very kind and inspirational, telling me that I can turn things around for my teeth and my health. It's always been hard for me to find and keep a good dentist but I respect Charles very much and hope to work with him as long as I live nearby! ***Update*** I got work done by Dr Strumfeld about two weeks ago now. He did many fillings and an extraction. He has fixed most of my problems quite affordably, and I'm feeling great about the whole situation. Now, with another small investment, I'll be able to set my whole mouth on a new path, a healthier one! Thanks Charles for all the knowledge and hard work!

In all my life I never had a dentist that I looked forward to the visit. That all changed when Dr. V took over the office. I have had three crowns replaced and they are still going strong and fit perfectly. He uses the strongest materials and does not use metal. He is very attentive to your needs and always makes sure you are completely numb in the area he works on. He checks constantly on your comfort level. I can tell when he is working on my teeth that he is a perfectionist, checking and double checking everything. I have had zero pain when he works on my teeth and that is the comfort we should all expect. His staff is exceptional, attentive, and the best all around. They even worked with my insurance to remove extra charges that should have been covered. Really surprised at the 1 star comments, but I am sure that is his competitors using bots to downrate him. I say this because every time I am there, the parking lot is full, unlike the previous dentist. When I moved to Albany, NY the last great thing I expected was having the best dentist ever. I can truly say Dr V. Is the best

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.

This place sets an example for the rest of the medical industry. If you're tired of corporate…read morebullshit "healthcare," go here. This is a true family practice, run by the doctor and his wife. Dr. DeSantis cares more about the patient outcome and experience than he does about the bottom line. He works for himself, not for a profit-driven corporation that will still try to upsell you when your teeth are falling out and all your credit cards are maxed out. I came here as a last resort after having my mouth ruined at a corporate dentist's office. I had two baby canines, which my former dentist pulled and fitted with temporary bridges...which proceeded to fall off six times in a month (which is great if you want to lose weight, since I couldn't eat properly). I ended up enduring at least two weeks with four tiny peg teeth on each side. Thank god I work remotely. See my review for 1st Advantage Dental for the gory details. Enter East Greenbush Dental. I sent them a (probably) panicked, overdramatic email explaining my dire situation. They agreed to see me last minute even though I was a new patient. Dr. DeSantis checked out my tiny stub teeth and did some 3-D x-rays, and then proceeded to build from thin air a set of temporary bridges that lasted not 3 days, but over two months. Early this week, he put in the permanent bridges and they are perfect. I'm not afraid that my teeth are permanently damaged or that these bridges are going to fall out in 3 weeks. I know that this doctor knows what he's doing and actually cares about the outcome. Dr. DeSantis will explain everything and he takes his time. You won't see the doctor for only 30 seconds (or not at all) like at ordinary practices. He has a varied background that includes some programming and graphic design so if you're lucky, he will be able to whip some teeth out of the ether and into the 3-D printer like he did for me. He's also funny, and has a bit of a Beastie Boy vibe (if you're not an elder Millennial or baby Gen X, that statement won't make any sense, so just don't worry about it). I'll be a patient here until they either fire me or the doctor retires.
