Scarsdale Pediatric Dental's staff, doctors, and services are always outstanding. There's a bit of a wait-time but it's worth it. The environment is warm and friendly, staff will always listen intently to any concerns, and the doctors are excellent at explaining treatment plans. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is in need of a new dentist or orthodontist for their child. Edit: I felt especially safe going during the Covid pandemic as they took all precautions to ensure safety

Parents, please read this before taking your kids to Dr. Vali…read more I feel sorry for both the staff and the families dealing with Dr. Vali. In my experience, he showed very little patience with children and seemed easily frustrated. I was honestly surprised by how he interacted with both kids and parents. He was pushy about treatments and appeared more focused on charging fees upfront than on fully explaining the procedures. At times, we were charged before the work was completed, and then told we would receive "credit" for the next visit. When we asked questions or expressed concerns, he did not directly address them. Instead, he rushed through explanations and dismissed our input. As parents, we felt our opinions were not valued. We were also pressured to use laughing gas for our child when we felt it wasn't necessary. When we asked about alternative approaches, he became upset and raised his voice, insisting he would not proceed without it. Overall, the experience felt rushed, stressful, and uncomfortable. A pediatric doctor should be patient, understanding, and willing to communicate clearly with parents. Unfortunately, that was not our experience

All my kids go there and we've been happy with the quality of work. The only downside is that pretty regularly the paperwork side of the house is lacking. You'll get a quote for one price and then the invoice comes in and it's $400 more than you were expecting. Or you update information and they don't do it properly and you have to enter new info and dispute charges because they used your old insurance info on accident and now it's your headache to deal with as a result. The front desk team seems a bit disorganized and the charges can seem unnecessary, confusing, if you don't stay on top of things. They also try to add unnecessary procedures and costs to inflate the total bill, so make sure you question why a kid needs laughing gas for sealant or something. But once you decline they don't argue, but unless you're monitoring what they suggest, you'll get charged for some stuff you don't actually need. TLDR, the ones doing the actual work on the teeth are A+, and that's most important. The front-desk team is C- and it seems like there's a concerted effort to squeeze the max amount of charges onto every bill/procedure. But it all averages out to a B+ and we'll continue going there.

They checked my dental insurance before I got to the office and knew my policy did not cover the x-ray they needed and never contacted me to tell me beforehand and expected me to come out of pocket over $200 the same day. 3. When one of the ladies from the front desk came into the room to explain my policy to me, I asked her why no one called me to inform and I was not given an answer. It was just very matter of fact and not apologetic at all. I would suggest going somewhere else where the staff treats you better. I could tell by the way they spoke to me over the phone it wasn't the best place to go but I went against my better judgement because it was close to home.

Dr. Lee was AMAZING. He understood that I have major medical anxiety. I asked him to just talk through each step and he did. This really helped calm my nerves. I would recommend this place time and time again.

While the orthodontist was kind and did his best, there was no way he was equipped to handle this with my very sensitive/sensory challenged son, and both visits were traumatizing and unsuccessful. Dr. Patel, and her wonderful staff - especially Maryluz who truly went above and beyond to help us-- got our son back into a trusting place, then were able to fit him and finally get the palate expander on with no trauma. We will forever be grateful because we know this goes beyond appearance - it is important for his health for a lifetime. We moved our 5 year old to the practice as well.

We had no local dentist yet, and I was panicked--until a friend gave me Dr. Dave's number. Not only did he respond immediately, but he personally opened up his office on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend to see us. He spent over an hour with us, treating my son with such incredible care, skill, and warmth. He followed up multiple times afterward to check on him, something I've never experienced from any doctor. Dr. Dave is that rare kind of provider who makes you feel seen, safe, and supported. His expertise is outstanding, and his humanity is even greater. I genuinely cannot recommend him highly enough. He's a total saint--and our family is beyond grateful.

When scheduling, I made it very clear that I would need nitrous due to dental anxiety. After arriving, I waited over an hour past my appointment time, only to finally be told by the receptionist--without any empathy--that I couldn't have nitrous because they had "used the last of the oxygen." This is not a small oversight. For patients with anxiety, this kind of preparation and communication is essential. To wait that long, after traveling and arranging childcare for a newborn, only to be dismissed so casually is incredibly frustrating and unprofessional. If you experience dental anxiety and rely on accommodations like nitrous, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This office does not seem equipped to handle those needs with the care or consideration they require.
