Today was the follow up appointment for the root canal I had last month…read more I arrived earlier than my appointed time. Last time the GPS sent me to the wrong end of Fox St; and kept rerouting me back to the same spot. Today the GPS did it's job. The front desk staff informed Dr. Blondin that I was here; and almost immediately I was ushered into an exam room. His assistant had me in two bibs to protect my clothes, asked if I wanted music, I thought I was on a cruise ship. Every knob, handle, wire, instrument in the room was covered with plastic. The Zeiss microscope was in its own sealed plastic bag. Dr. Blondin was in shortly. He explained what was going to happen today in his cheerful and reassuring voice. After a local analgesic; the work began. A dental dam was applied, then the drilling began. All the while the doctor was letting me know what was going on during the procedure. A few X-rays latter I was almost done. The X-rays showed the true picture of the bicuspid and the repair done. I'm way past the age of being in awe of anything. This endodontist office leaves me awestruck. Everyone does their job with precision and acumen. If you need a great endodontist - This is the place to go to first. What's that old saying? "you've seen the rest; now see the best". I'm paraphrasing.

All the…read moredentists that I came across are so amazing, knowledgeable and i fully trust them (dr blau and dr dan Katz in particular). I wish I had known about them earlier. all the staff starting from the front desk to the dental assistants are all so wonderful and accommodating. You can tell they all get along well and are like a well oiled machine. I hated going to the dentist but their technique as well as equipment make the dental experience so much comfortable and calming. I like the mouthpiece they use during the procedure. its actually calming white noise and drowns out the drilling. it also doesnt dry out your mouth and doesnt feel like you are drowning on your own saliva. I also appreciate that they explain in detail the plan of care so everyones on the same page. I recommend them 100%!! I also was impressed for my very young daughter. every single time she went to the dentist to get a simple cleaning, she would cry and end up throwing up. it was awful but when i brought her to middletown dental associates, she was actually able to get a FULL cleaning done and said she loves the dentist. I was shocked (in a good way). Thank you Middletown dental associates!

I found Dr. Magda through my insurance. I called to schedule and as soon as I told them who my…read moreinsurance was, they told me, oh we don't want to be in their network and didn't mean to sign up 2 years ago. They refused to bill my insurance. The staff said they would charge a flat $1400 for a root canal and would give me an itemized bill that I could submit to my insurance. I confirmed again with my insurance the day before that Dr. Magda was in-network. I went in for the root canal and temporary filling because she doesn't do the post, core, crown or permanent fillings. They took an x-ray before going into the procedure room. They said everything went well afterwards and it was done in under 30 minutes. 3 days later I woke up with a bad tonsil infection, worst Albany Med Urgent Care had ever seen. It was concluded by multiple physicians that it was related to the root canal since it was a bottom tooth; whether the tooth was infected and Dr. Magda didn't catch it or I caught the infection at the office. I called Dr. Magda's office as soon as they opened and the receptionist said she would speak with the doctor to let her know. Surprisingly, I never even got a phone call back to check on me or ask me to come in to check the tooth/root canal. My medical doctors and primary dentist monitored the infection and tooth. Long story short, almost 6 months after said root canal I had to have my tonsils removed because the swelling never went away even though the infection was resolved. To make matters worse, when I submitted my dental claim to my insurance, Dr. Magda managed to get her contract with my insurance cancelled retro to just days before my procedure. I find it hard to believe they suddenly had this major update to their contract. More likely, they called to cancel because I disagreed with them not billing my insurance as a network provider. I requested a copy of my record, but it was missing notes about calling after the procedure. When I called to inquire they had no record of me ever calling about an infection. Cover up at its best! I don't understand the hype surrounding how great this office is. Think twice before you schedule a procedure here.

Dr. Schwartz is by far THE greatest dentist I've ever been to. Not only is he knowledgeable and…read moreextremely friendly, but he does everything he can to make your experience as comfortable as possible. I came in terrified when I had seen a dark spot on one of my molars, but he thoroughly explained the problem and was incredibly sensitive and thoughtful when addressing my concerns. His bedside manner and professionalism were truly superb and he did an excellent job fixing my tooth, it looks so good now! Thank you Dr. Schwartz!!!

I had high hopes for Dr. Scott Schwartz because he seemed very professional, kind, and personable…read more My husband recommended him and took me to his office after I broke a crown and developed pain in another tooth. After taking X-rays and examining my mouth, Dr. Schwartz found several other cavities. I appreciated the thorough examination. However, I explained very clearly that, due to my financial situation, I only wanted to address my two urgent problems: my broken crown and the tooth that was causing me pain. I planned to take care of the other issues later when I could afford them. Unfortunately, I felt that my wishes were not respected. The day I came in for my dental cleaning with Renata, who was absolutely wonderful and very kind, I wasn't sure whether I would feel well enough to begin dental treatment afterward. When I scheduled my cleaning, I had explained that I would decide that day depending on how I felt. However, I was told by the receptionist that if I didn't start treatment that same day, I would have to pay a significant portion of the fee again because my appointment couldn't be changed. I felt pressured into proceeding, even though I wasn't comfortable. The most upsetting part happened when Dr. Schwartz numbed a tooth that wasn't bothering me and prepared to begin treatment there instead of on the tooth that was actually causing me pain. I stopped him and asked, "Why are you working on this tooth? I specifically asked you to treat the painful tooth first." I had made my priorities very clear from the beginning, yet I felt they were ignored. Instead of listening to what I wanted and what I could afford, I felt the treatment plan was driven by what the office preferred rather than by my immediate needs. I left the office heartbroken, disappointed, and upset. My mouth was numb from the injection, and I could barely speak. More than anything, I felt unheard. Every patient deserves to have their concerns listened to and their treatment priorities respected, especially when financial limitations are clearly communicated. While I found the staff member Renata to be exceptional, my overall experience with Dr. Schwartz left me feeling that my wishes were not respected, and because of that, I cannot recommend him based on my personal experience.
