Reviews & Testimonials for Dr. David Kavanagh Dental Cleaning Services in Castleton-on-Hudson, NY

As a new patient, I expected a long wait for the first appointment, actually the wait was less than 24 hours. Came in for my first appointment, was seen on time, in a fabulous modern facility. The two ladies at the desk were enormously friendly, Jean, my hygienist, was personable, knowledgeable, and patient with all my questions. And very efficient. Dr Kavanaugh put me at ease immediately and as a fellow Navy veteran, we had some commonality, but he was also quite open and friendly, highly recommended.Second visit for follow up cleaning, and still just as awesome, thank you Jean!Third visit, to finish a deep cleaning, a wonderful experience 5/29/26David Manzi More

I had my first appointment here in January of 2026 after not going for way too long due to a traumatic experience. Dr. Kavanagh and team are INCREDIBLE! The girls at the front desk are always to kind and helpful! I haven’t had a bad hygienist either. Jean preformed my initial intake and cleaning and she is the sweetest and so incredible! I had some emergency and unexpected work that needed to be taken care of and they never once made me feel like it was my fault. Unfortunately that also means I’ve been in their office multiple times since my initial appointment! Dr. Kavanaugh is the best! He keeps in real but also take into account that you’re human! I cannot recommend CFD more! I refuse to go anywhere else. They’re perfect and incredible all around. No notes! More

The girls are wonderful! Joelle is amazing and always makes me feel comfortable. The girls at the desk are always helpful and friendly. Dr. K is the best and i finally have my smile back😄 More

New patient here and I must say this place is wonderful! The office is nice and clean. The front staff, Hygenist, and Dr. Kavanagh were all friendly, welcoming and amazing! I appreciate the modern technology that they used and the level of service and care while I was there. I'm happy that this is my new dentist and I recommend coming here! More

Today was my 1st appointment. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. They answered all my questions and came up with a double treatment plan. A very good vibe in the office, you can tell the employees love their jobs, very happy staff! More

Today I had a cleaning with McKenzie. It was only my third or fourth visit to Columbia Dental but I have come to expect quality and proficient service. The big thing for me is the consistentfriendly vibe I get from all the employees as well as Dr. Kavanaugh. More

Today I met with a hygienist Jean and Dr. Kavanaugh. I had a very pleasant initial appointment. We set up two more appointments for deep cleaning. I believe I am going to enjoy my dental visits at Columbia Family Dentistry. Thank you. More

I recently moved to the area and needed a new dentist, so I decided to try Columbia Family Dentistry. I have only had one visit, which included a cleaning, imaging and other diagnostic testing, but my first impression is extremely positive. The office staff was extremely nice and easy to deal with both on the phone and in person. The office itself really impressed me, as they make use of advanced imaging and cleaning technology that I honestly have never seen before. Moreover, they took the time to explain in detail what the different tests were and how to understand the results. Mikenzie did my cleaning, and she was incredibly thorough and likeable, and Dr. Kavanagh took the time to go over the results with me as well. In all, this was a really good experience, and I intend to stay with this practice for my dental needs going forward. More

Everyone is so helpful and friendly. I cant say enough about the staff. David is a great dentist and very professional. Joelle is very kind and professional at her job. Makes getting my teeth cleaning a pleasure to have done. More

Dentists are scary, but this place isn’t. Everyone from the dentists, dental assistants, right down the counter staff is positive and supportive. I have never felt so welcomed by such personable, non judgemental people in a clinical environment. These people care about YOU. Go here if especially if you’re anxious about the dentist or people in general. More

My appointment was for my routine 6 month checkup. I had x-rays, teeth cleaning, a laser treatment and a dentist checkup. All staff were very professional and pleasant to deal with. I am totally satisfied. More

Absolutely love Columbia Family Dentistry! I’ve been to Dr. Morton since I was a child and recently started seeing Dr. Kavanagh. They have both been wonderful at taking care of any issues and/or concerns I’ve had. They provide great cleanings and care. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone who is looking for a dentist! More

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Morton for several years. We could not be happier with the thorough and thoughtful care we have received. From preventive cleaning to fillings to crowns, we have experienced the best dentistry that we have ever known. More
