Dr Schwartz is the ABSOLUTE BEST dentist I've ever been to. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND going to them! I've never known a dentist to take the oral health and personal situation of his patients and their teeth so seriously. Additionally, running the office and assisting him with his work is the sweetest woman, Kelli. Thanks to Kelli, the office is kept very organized, super clean and I always feel welcome when I come in. She keeps personal contact with patience and texts me reminders for appointments, I couldn't ask for a better experience.
Let me give a little back story to attest to how individualized the care from this team is.
I came in to Dr Schwartz office because I had a muller cavity emergency giving me a ton of pain and swelling, something I should have had looked at much earlier. They sent me to a great Endodontist for an emergency root canal. Afterwards I came into their office to get it crowned and have my whole mouth looked at. I needed a lot of work done to restore the health of my teeth. Dr Schwartz was so thurough that he wrote personal notes of each of my teeth and what type of care they needed and possible options to best treat each one. He then organized a plan starting with the most urgent teeth needing care. They organized the list and accurately predicted the cost of each phase. Marlin and Kelli really care about the health of their patients and individualize their needs and consider their situation.
Apart from all the scheduled work they were guiding me through, I had an accident ice skating where I bit the ice and my two front teeth were shoved backwards. The first thing I did was call Kelli. Very quickly Dr Schwartz came in on his day off and he pushed my teeth back into place and set them with a foundation to start healing. I was so scared from the accident and Kelli comforted me, holding my hand through the whole thing. I was able to keep both my front teeth and no one can tell there was an accident thanks to the urgent care I received, without which they would have been out of place too long to push back into place and I probably would have had to replace them with crowns.
Overall, Dr Schwartz takes care of the teeth of his patients with great care and precision and paired with Kelli, who makes the experience organized, open and personal like a warm plate of cookies, they have a great dynamic as a team.
I moved two hours away but I'll be making the drive back to New Paltz for any dental care I need, they just know me my teeth.

I did not feel safe at all in their care. I definitely had doubts about their qualifications.

This man is clearly knowledgeable and committed to doing the right type of work, but don't go to him if you don't like being manhandled, disrespected, talked down to, and absolutely don't go to him if you have any anxiety regarding injections/dental work. He was very rude and got very flustered just because the x-rays were hurting my mouth; I wouldn't trust him with any type of drill in my mouth if he can't be sensitive to what is bothering me during a simple x-ray. I'm amazed he is in business, he is so reckless when handling instruments in patients' mouths. He was also very mean to his assistant when she tried to make me feel comfortable by offering to do the x-rays with me instead, telling her "if I can't do it, what makes you think you can? I've done this hundreds of times before."
