I have a truly paralyzing fear of the dentist. I've needed major work done for YEARS. I woke up in so much pain just barely touching my cheek on the outside of the jaw made me cry. It was time to go in. I called the location 5 mins from my house the one my boyfriend loves. In Wappingers. They could not see me. They told me told call the Poughkeepsie location whom told me to come in right away. They'd find a way to see me. I told them my fear of the dentist. DR.Kasparas (sorry if spelled wrong). Was so patient with me. He was so incredibly gentle and explained everything he was doing. He didn't lecture me about how bad my teeth are and make me feel worse. He showed the utmost respect empathy and compassion. Despite a location being 5 minutes from be I will drive the extra 25 minutes to go ba k to this location as long as he is dentist. I do not know the assistants name but she was wonderful as as well. And was such a calming voice of reassurance. Just her hand on my shoulder offering calming words snd empathy was such a calming effect. Am I still afraid of the dentist??? YES. BUT DOES Dr. KASPARAS make it easier? Very big YES!

Dr. Gatchalian has been my dentist for over 15 years. I had an implant order by him and two ceramic crown put in and he is an expert dentist. My implant was sensitive and Dr. G met with me adjusted the tooth and provided emotional support and explained the process moving forward. which was an oral adjustment period that takes time for gums to adapt to both implant and crown procedures.. Just like Dr. Gatchalian explained, my gums adjusted and my implants look and feel great!! Thank you Dr. G. Dr. Gatchalian went above and beyond my expectation. Excellent work ethic and bed side manner.

My dental hygienitst moved to Family Smiles who I trust but the Dentist was extremely rude. Never introduced himself to me never looked me in the eye let alone my mouth, Told me to buy a water pick for my self for Christmas not even examining me. I will never recommend this cattle call of a business to anyone. It was a horrible experience apart from Lorrain who really cares. Annette Ferdinandsen
