Wonderful first visit with Dr Schwartz. I walked into this…read moreappointment today absolutely terrified -- like "should I cancel and pretend this never existed?" terrified. My teeth are in rough shape right now, and after a horrible past dentist who basically wanted to pull everything out (trauma city), I was expecting the worst. Instead, I met Dr. Schwartz, and within minutes he had me feeling safe, cared for, and even laughing. Yes... actually laughing in a dentist's chair. Wild. He listened to me, he understood my fears, and at one point after hearing what I went through, he just looked at me with this gentle "you poor thing" energy -- but in the sweetest, most compassionate way. Not judgmental, not pitying... just genuinely kind. He has a great sense of humor, an incredibly gentle approach, and he made me feel human, not embarrassed. I left feeling relieved, grateful, and honestly shocked that I found a dentist I'm excited to go back to. If you're scared of dentists or carrying trauma from past experiences, please go see Dr. Schwartz. He changed everything for me.

I hate going to the dentist, but who doesn't? Schwartz makes the experience relatively painless,…read morethough. While I have never had any major issues, I have been pleased over the last three visits. The check-in paperwork is electronic which makes a lot of sense to me in 2018 and it's simple to complete. I've never had to wait long for an appointment, either. Everything seems to run on time and everyone is friendly. My hygienist is gentle and friendly. They keep you with the same hygienist each time and they immediately schedule the appointment with you themselves after the cleaning. Dr. Schwartz has been my doctor. He is gregarious and seems thorough. I was pregnant and couldn't get x-rays during a couple of cleanings, but felt he inspected my teeth carefully. While it's in an unassuming building, this has been a great practice so far. I only withhold one star because I have never experienced anything beyond basic care there.

I was a patient of this office from approximately 2011-2014 and was very happy with her services. I am a nervous wreck when it comes to visiting the dentist due to bad childhood dental experiences (with a practitioner in Latham). When I first started visiting this practice I was living around the corner from the office, but I shortly moved back to Latham. I still kept driving from Latham over to Schenectady, Dr. Yucadel is that good! I had various crowns and cavities taken care of at this office and I was in very minimal pain during the procedures. The office staff was polite and professional.

I want to share my experience in a fair and balanced way. While my overall visit did not leave me…read morefeeling comfortable enough to return, this review is not meant to tarnish the office or its providers. I understand that there are many moving parts that go into a patient feeling heard and comfortable, and sometimes things don't land the way they're intended. To begin, I'd like to highlight the dental assistant, Melecia, who completed my comprehensive imaging and blood pressure and made a wonderful first impression with her warm, patient, and attentive approach. She also made genuine conversation, which helped personalize my experience and put me at ease. Unfortunately, there was confusion regarding the purpose of my appointment. I had scheduled what I believed to be a cleaning with the hygienist, but the visit turned out to be an establishing appointment only. This was not clearly explained beforehand or during the visit. I later learned that a full assessment is required prior to scheduling a cleaning, which I understand; however, this could have been communicated more effectively. Had I known, I would have attempted to schedule both appointments on the same day, but that was not presented as an option. The lack of clarity left me feeling uneasy, created a feeling of mistrust and uncertainty about the office's priorities--I questioned whether quantity was prioritized over quality. When I expressed my frustration, I felt my concerns were not fully acknowledged. The interactions with the providers created discomfort, and my concerns appeared to be passed along to other providers (Dentist to Hygienist) rather than addressed directly, which ultimately led me to request my imaging and recommendations to continue care elsewhere. Once a negative interaction occurs, timely acknowledgment and follow-up can make a significant difference in restoring patient comfort. While I have decided to seek care at another office, I hope this feedback helps improve communication for future patients. I do want to give credit where it's due -- Melecia was exceptional, and I also appreciate the office manager, Tami T., who took the time to speak with me afterward to understand my experience and potentially resolve the situation. That effort did not go unnoticed. As someone who advocates for patients professionally, I believe it's important for patients to feel empowered to direct their own care, choose providers thoughtfully, and seek environments where they feel both heard and respected.

I would not recommend this office to anyone because it was my experience that the office manager…read morewas extremely disrespectful and argumentative, The receptionist was not at all knowledgeable of any of the questions that I was asking her. And no she was not a new employee. I was hung up on and was asked if I wanted to cancel the remaining of my appointments. The only thing I called there for was to ask what the next step in my dental treatment was going to be. The dentist that is going to do my root canal called them and spoke directly to the dentist that was treating me and no one including the rude office manager had no clue what I was talking about. I was told we have no record anything that you are talking about so moving forward when you call here listen to what is being told to you and give us the respect that we are due. I tried to explain to her that I was sitting there when the other dentist called them the office manager continued to over talk me and would not listen to anything I had to say. She hung up on me twice. If you are loosing records/notes and being that disrespectful what are you going to do during the procedure that I will be paying you to preform on my mouth. No thanks keep your unorganized services and disrespect.

My cleaning was great. As comfortable as one can be. Felt fantastic after. Did a great job. X-rays went well. A week later I had a filling. The dentist is fantastic. Numbed me perfectly. Just in the area he would be working on. No crazy stroke smile after haha. The filling was very fast. Explained very well. Unlike other fillings at other offices no pain at all after. Like not even sore. And my cavity was deep! Very impressed. Literally ate on that side that night because I forgot I had work done. Almost as soon as I left the numbing started to wear off. In past experiences with another office I walked around looking like a stroke victim all day. Not at this office with this dentist. You wouldn't know I had work done. Really a perfect experience I would highly recommend this office. Gentle but very efficient. Really know what they are doing. I felt safe. And was happy with the work. Actually looking forward to my cleaning in a few months!

YA NO THANK YOU!! To my surprise Dr. Page and Dawn the dental hygienist both left the practice without informing their patients.

This company apparently cares more about money than any patient that still remains at this establishment. Not only does this hurt Dr. Page this also will leave a stain on her now reputation.

The business side is flawless: check ins and initial intake are handled very well, and we got good help when the very partial dental insurance reimbursement for one kid's choppers went to the wrong place. Appointment times are kept very close, and are offered at school-friendly times for routine visits (although more extensive things may have to be scheduled earlier in the day). Throw in amenities: parent coffee and tea (the good stuff), mostly-working video game consoles (keeps the younger kids occupied) and a cheery if occasionally a bit crowded waiting area. Dr. DeLuke's extremely friendly with both parents and kids and explains things well without being condescending, and the medical assistant staff are also chipper and efficient without making it seem like you're rushed. So it has that happy medium of being pretty quick but if you need more time to have things explained, not a problem. One extra touch: one of my kids has a hearing problem for which he sees an ENT; Dr DeLuke took the time to get us a CD of the full scans he did for the orthodonture intake to show all the relevant parts of the head that we could take to the ENT at his next visit, who appreciated them. I take this as a sign he's a medical professional first, as it were, and an orthodontist second, and that's what you want in a specialty practitioner.
