The best dentist around! This is coming from someone with extremely high anxiety with any dental care. My husband and I have been patients there for a year. Due to my anxiety, I had not been to the dentist in 5 years, but one day a filling fell out. I left a voicemail for the office that evening, and the next morning they called me and had me come in. I was so scared, stressed and emotional and the entire staff showed me such kindness and compassion. Dr. Sayeed calmly and patiently worked with my anxiety. He has excellent bedside manners, and is highly skilled at his profession.
It is not often that you find this kind of care, despite being a business, patient care seems to come first. A shout out to Sumayra too, who is quick to return calls and is so reassuring!

BEST DENTIST ON THIS SIDE OF THE BRIDGE, got me booked, looked at, and my problems sorted after the direct competition made it worse, didnt listen to me, went in for a root canal and several fillings got all but the extractions i needed done asap and the dentist refused to work on me while i was in pain so he was very thorough about numbing me.
Would and do recommend to everyone friends, family and anyone i meet. - Mr tucen

I can't say enough about Walden Dental. The girls up front are so helpful, understanding and accommodating! Dr. B is wonderful! I have a lot of health issues and she has been so amazing to work around what I need specifically for my appointments. She is a literal life safer. I just started coming here and already recommended the practice to multiple people. Especially friends or family I know that need dental work and are concerned about going to the dentist. A true gem of a find!! You're definitely in good hands and great care here! ❤️

I finally found a dental practice that I can recommend without hesitation.
Very welcoming staff. Dr B (I'm sorry I
forget names) was friendly and competent. And she was gentle which is important for those of us with dental anxiety .
Highly recommend!

If you’re in the Hudson valley and are exhausted by the American dental system or just want a dental staff that cares about your well being as a person, look into Walden Dental.

I had gone through Dentaquest’s provider portal and after visiting 7 other offices (not exaggerating), Walden was picked for the long term dental care of my family members.

Competent, transparent, thorough, they keep informed about procedure and how they plan on approaching my insurance to maximize my health to cost ratio.
They almost make the American health and dental care system bearable.

A true HIDDEN GEM! This is the best dental office we've ever used! Dr and staff very professional and give the best dental care and examination we've ever received. My hubby hates dental visits and was extremely happy with his care at Walden Dental. They are gentle and no pain added. They do have an open concept type office which was different.
My only negative experience is that they use plug in air fresheners and I'm highly allergic. I hope they take this into consideration for sensitive patients and remove them permanently. They aren't needed as the office is pristine clean. Do not hesitate to switch to them if you're looking for a new dental office. I regret not using them years ago!
