I went here as a kid since I was first able to go to the dentist actually and I stopped going here…read morebecause my mother needed to move and it was to far. However that's not the real issue. I shouldn't have been going back to Kotlow after the very first visit. My brothers shouldn't have neither. I am now 21 years old and I am still beyond traumatized to go to the dentist. This man "dr" kotlow held me down with his hand on my chest and told me not to cry as I was in agonizing pain from a procedure of caps being put in and I had no lidocaine. Mind you I was around like 5-6 and I'm on the freaking spectrum. I'm autistic so I was panicking cause of the pain and the noise and this dude was yelling at me holding me down. You should be ashamed of yourself. And I hate seeing you respond on everyone's comments trying to make yourself look like and angel kotlow. You know what you did to me. That's why on Google when I rated this same exact rate you said absolutely nothing to me. Because you know you are a sick cruel man. The only thing I can say for anyone possible reading this. DO NOT TAKE YOURE CHILDREN TO THIS PSYCHO! And if your children are seeing this horrible man... if they say something like this believe it because it's 100% freaking true and it could ruin your kids mouth in the future. And if you're reading the Kotlow I know you remember me and definitely remember this. And just know this won't go away. I plan on taking this to court eventually. You should be disgusted with yourself kotlow.

Pediatric Dentistry of Albany. In my personal opinion, this office is chaotic, confusing, and…read moreincredibly unprofessional from start to finish. Our appointment was at 2:30 PM, yet we weren't taken back until 3:30 PM -- a full hour late. Meanwhile, I watched multiple people who checked in after us walk right in before us. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. Just complete disregard for our time. When we finally got seen, everything felt rushed, cold, and sloppy. They used what felt like a basic, non-professional camera to take photos of my child's teeth, which only made the whole appointment seem even more careless. And to make things worse, it looked to me like they had tools sitting out in the check-in area, which gave a terrible first impression and made the office feel completely disorganized. And the worst part? The orthodontist told me my child needed braces first and then the extra tooth removed. But every other dentist, orthodontist, and oral surgeon we spoke to afterward gave the opposite treatment plan -- that the extra tooth should be removed first, and then braces. Hearing completely opposite opinions made the whole situation feel even more frustrating and made me lose confidence in this office entirely. There was no clear communication, no reassurance for my child, and no sense that anyone cared about how stressful this was for us. In my experience, this establishment is horrible -- disorganized, inconsiderate, and not somewhere I would ever trust with my child again. I left furious, disappointed, and determined never to return. If you're a parent, my honest advice is this: go anywhere else. Save yourself the stress, the confusion, and the wasted time.

I went there a couple years ago to become a new patient and they were some of the rudest people I've ever had to deal with. They did not seem to appreciate the fact that I was there & they treated me like a 'number', like I was wasting their time. I came early and I was polite, but they acted like they were annoyed to see me. The worst part is even though they told (me a few times) that they took my insurance, they refused to take it the day I was there & it took me hours trying to fix it with my insurance company. I would not recommend it :/

Yesterday, my 4-year-old daughter visited Schenectady Pediatric Dentistry for a cavity in one of…read moreher molars. Although the dentist recommended having it treated, I was extremely anxious--mainly because of her young age, the fact that it was a baby tooth, and my concerns about the procedure and any medications involved. Still, I knew it needed to be addressed to prevent her from developing a painful toothache that could affect her daily life. At the appointment, we met the new provider, Kat (Katherine) Dority, and I cannot praise her enough. Even though I wasn't the patient, she showed incredible patience with me first--listening to my concerns, explaining why the treatment was recommended, and walking me through every step of the process. Her thorough explanations and calm reassurance significantly eased my anxiety. She was wonderfully gentle with my daughter, offering positive affirmations throughout the visit and explaining each step in a way a 4-year-old could easily understand. As someone who has never been a fan of dental visits--and clearly has a lot of anxiety around them--I was genuinely impressed. I would absolutely recommend this office, and especially Kat Dority. P.S. I forgot to mention, the filling procedure was quick and painless for my 4yo.

My son screamed and cried the entire time that they were hurting him, and that he was feeling everything, for them to just reassure me that he wouldn't remember any of it and he was basically just over exaggerating. I called to speak with someone (Karen) She informed me that it's only a 50-50 chance that the medication would work, that is not at all what I was told. I told her if I knew that I would have just taken him to a dentist that puts them under. I was also told that the doctor doing the procedure was supposed to talk to me about the medication and he never did that. He came in asked how we were.
