1st Advantage Dental - Queensbury - Queensbury (NY)

5 /5 pamela ogden: The hygienist did an excellent job on my cleaning. There were a few things I wanted her to give extra attention to and she was very accommodating! Great work!!

5 /5 Lisa Troxel: My dental hygienist, Tanya is awesome. She takes her time and is very gentle, because I have sensitive teeth. She is very pleasant and always has a smile on her face when she greets me and asks how Im doing. My male dentist that I have is very nice too. I would recommend these two awesome people to anyone!

1 /5 gina stoddard: I have a lot of pain in my mouth with a bone spur ready to break the skin. I called this office because they claim to do emergency visits. With a 4.6 star review. I was seen, x-ray’s complete. There were multiple reasons for my pain. Front end staff were amazing, the hygienist was amazing. Then Dr Patel walked in. He looked at the X-rays, looked inside my mouth, turned his light off, and said to go to a different dentist. Then walked out of the room. In his statement it says, “ I am passionate about helping my patients”. Right there on the Home Page. There was no compassion, just a rude condescending Dr. According to him, bone spurs are not painful?

1 /5 Maya: Stay away from chain dentists- they are focused more on profit than what the customer actually needs. I was told I need root canal on my slightly chipped tooth that’s been that way for the past 20 years. I’ve been to different dentists throughout my life and they never said anything about it. Therefore, I was surprised to hear that I need root canal now. So I went to two other dentists for a second and third opinion and they all said I don’t need anything done because my tooth looks good. I went back to this dentist for another regular checkup, and they mentioned again how I need that root canal done. I told him I got other opinions who disagreed with his assessment, so I won’t be doing that at all. I just proceeded with regular cleaning and a filling on another tooth. Another instance with this dentist came up recently when a filling fell out, so I went to him for emergency treatment. He said I need root canal done but I was skeptical again because of his past false recommendation. I asked him to re-fill it for now until I seek other opinions. He got upset, said no, and left the room. I was charged for oral evaluation anyways even though he refused to do any treatment and I had to go through the same process and payment with another dentist who disagreed about root canal and noted that the filling is more appropriate. On top of all this, I called this dentist to dispute the charge and they refused. Greedy chain dentistry with a mission to recommend unnecessary procedures in order to collect as much money as they can from gullible people. Don’t be gullible and proceed with caution if you choose to go there anyways :)

3 /5 John J Jordan: Im a brand new patient with a brand new insurance I just received the first of February and Ive been suffering for like 3 weeks with a terrible infection in my face of which I tried to make clear to the receptionist that answered the phone when I first called on Friday and I couldnt be seen until Tuesday. So I agreed to the Tuesday appointment because I was desperate and had nobody else to go to. By the time I got there on Tuesday my pain had subsided just a little bit thanks to painkillers. They had me come in and sit down for two X-Rays of the infected areas. I spoke to both the assistant and the dentist about my desire to get implants. But the dentist wants to do two root canals and two crowns on my lower left jaw number 20 and 21 that are really bad. And the majority of the rest of the remaining teeth I have on the bottom are all worn off and ache as well especially with that infection. But in telling the dentist again that I am more interested in implants instead of fixing these bad teeth I have, he replied to me that we will have to talk about that after we do the root canals and crowns. I feel that this is a waste of money and procedure time. I personally think that it would do me best to have a complete upper and lower set of implants. Arches as they are called. Im entitled this year to get as much work done as I can with no limit on spending with this insurance and all of these proceedings are covered under my insurance. Also the receptionist told me now that I have to wait for an approval for the canal and crown work. As it is they have put me off for 3 months to come back and get that work done as well. From February to May. The dental assistant was more help to me with information then the dentist himself was. So at this point I do not have a real evaluation to share.
