Reviews & Testimonials for Saratoga Springs, NY D.D.S. Dr. James Walsh

Dr. Dodd and his staff are awesome. Great work, plesant and professional. The "denist jokes" don't apply to Saratoga Family Dentistry! I would highly reccommend them to anyone. More

It's always 12/10 here (as long as you actually take care of your teeth). They're rarely behind schedule, friendly and inviting. More

Dr Walsh was very gentle and did a great job fixing my cranky tooth. More

Truly wonderful staff: warm, compassionate, and professional. Admittedly, I look forward to my visits. More

Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry has been my dentist since I moved to the area in 2022. It is always an easy visit. They have always taken me on time. Everyone is professional, friendly, and gentle. I also appreciate how courteous and helpful everyone is. More

An incredible facility with excellent, knowledgable staff and a calm, welcoming office. From the front desk staff to the hygientises to the doctors, Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry is a level above all the others. If you haven't been happy with your current dental office, I highly recommend giving them a try. More

Dr. Walsh and his team were very pleasant and the work was done in a very competent manner. More

SSFD was outstanding. Friendly, helpful and accommodating to our needs. Anyone who is hesitant to go to the dentist willno longer have this fear. Thank you for making my husband feel comfortable. More

Excellent as always the entire staff are always so kind and professional at this dentist office, never disappointed. More

Thank you all for your patience! More

I love the service. They are professional and make you feel valued as a customer. I normally have anxiety going to dentist office but never here. Highly recommended. More

I have been coming here for many years. Dental Hygienist is great! More

After fear kept me from seeking dental care, I’m almost done with a 2 year long care plan that has included several fillings and crowns, 4 extractions, 2 root canals, 2 implants and intense cleanings. Up until 2 months ago, I took a mild sedative to ‘get me through’. With the understanding, kindness, compassion and encouragement of Dr. Dodd, Sue, Shallen (sp?), Dr.Walsh, (and many others) I now feel confident enough to smile! More

I would recommend this Dental Office without reservation. All staff are pleasant, and very professional. When my 90 year old mother had an appointment with Dr. Dodd, and she was uncomfortable with getting out of the car, Dr Dodd actually went out side to the car and took the denture impression, in the car! Dr Dodd did this with a smile. Dr Lehner is very impressive in the way she presents herself, explaining what needs to be done and her ability is very obvious from the start. More

Really great - always help get me in for regular appointments and last minute ones as soon as they can. Really responsive to my questions and concerns. More

It is my first time having the hygienist Audrey. She did impeccable cleaning of my teeth and gums.I will definitely ask for her again. More

I have been visiting Saratoga dentistry for probably 35 plus years. I've never had a bad experience and pretty sure have had every hygienist and Dentist there. Never had a bad experience and am always comfortable there. All the staff are pleasant and very good with making you comfortable. I would recommend this dental group to my family and friends. More

Special thanks to Dr. Dodd and his team for a great experience. My husband and I both needed root canals. Dr. Walsh did a wonderful job - hardly any pain at all! Chanel made us feel special and welcome from our very first phone call. The Saratoga Springs office is comfortable and the service top notch! I will be recommending this dentistry to my friends and family. Fantastic experience!! More

I came in for my first visit with Paula and met Dr Walsh. I have had a lot of dental work in the past and knew I would need some work. Doug was very helpful explaining how my appointments would work and helped submit to my insurance. The process with my treatment has been amazing, easy and stress free thanks to Dr Walsh and the assistant Brooke! Thank you to everyone for being super friendly, I can't wait for my appointments now :) More

I've been to so many terrible dentist offices in my life & am about as happy as can be to have found Saratoga Family Springs Dentistry!!!! Both the Drs & staff are knowledgeable, & helpful. Most of all- they know how difficult it is for us to deal with dental work, and the emotions it sometimes comes with. They explain things clearly, & make you feel comfortable. Those things are almost as important as expertise to me!!! Here you get the very best!! - KJ Hyatt More

Due to work requirements, I had been away from SSF Dentistry for over 10 years. As a previously satisfied patient I was impressed with the advances in both patient services and hands on dentistry. The practice uses the latest advancements in technology and dental procedures. The office staff is friendly, project a professional atmosphere and provide flexible & accommodating scheduling, SSF Dentistry takes most insurance’s. For self pay patients like myself, their Smile Advantage Plan offers cost effective packages for a variety of services. I strongly recommend Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry. More

Dr. Walsh is great! He takes his time to make sure you are comfortable. Chanel in the front of the office is very nice and personable! Would highly recommend this office. More

My experience was excellent. I went there as a new patient with an emergency situation and everyone there went out of their way to help me resolve the problem. They were extremely kind and efficient. I highly recommend Saratoga springs family dentistry. More

I’ve been undergoing extensive dental work the last 10 months with Dr Dodd. Today I had a root canal performed by Dr Walsh. I’m a dental coward, a VERY anxious patient. Having a personal connection with Dr Dodd gave me my voice to express my fears….and gave me a set of ears to listen and understand. Anticipating the root canal has been difficult - last night was NOT restful. Dr Walsh and his assistant put me at ease. They were kind enough to answer my (numerous) questions and Dr Walsh explained, in just the right amount of detail, what he was doing and why. I kept waiting for the seriously nerve wracking part to happen when Dr Walsh said he was done. A few more appointments to cement in crowns, complete the root canal and then in another 6 months insert two implants- I’m starting to see that the healthier mouth, and the smile I’ve wished for are soon to be mine. PS. Thanks to the office staff as well especially Chanel More

After years of not going to the dentist I was introduced to the practice and they helped guide me to an amazing treatment plan specifically designed for me. I love the office so much I decided to come work here and now I get to help others achieve their dental goals!! Dr Dodd, Dr Walsh and Dr Lehner are amazing people and spectacular Dentists! More

The staff is great to work with...always cheerful and professional. The work is top notch. My smile is much nicer now. More

I called last week to schedule an appointment. I was nervous because, although I take care of my teeth, I have not been to a dentist in a very long time. I spoke with someone named Chanel. She was very nice, and calmed me down. I cannot say I am excited for my appointment, but if the rest of the staff treats their patients as well as I was treated over the phone I think everything is going to be alright. More

Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry is the best around! Dr. Walsh is great and has a great sense of humor. Brooke is super friendly and fun and makes the experience super easy. The front desk personnel is great especially Doug. He is super attentive and makes sure that everything is all set before you go and has been explained to you. Best dental office around!! More

I was a new patient at Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry and I am so pleased with the service I’ve received! Dr. Dodd and his staff are so wonderful! Chanel was very helpful with my appointments and answered all my questions. Highly recommend! More

This practice came highly recommended to me and I can see why! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, and the office is organized and thorough. Their safety procedures for COVID are comforting. I also bring my almost 6 year old son here and he has been comfortable with the experience thus far. Dr. Dodd is wonderful with both children and adults. He takes time to get to know his patients and has a gentle yet thorough approach to his care. More

My wife and I had another great experience yesterday at Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry. The entire staff is excellent and continues to exceed our expectations in every way. We can truly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever to anyone wanting a caring and extremely competent Dentistry they can really trust. More

Everyone at Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry are first rate! Been going here for years…really grateful for their good work….everyone from Dr Walsh, Heather, Chanel….thank you! More

Dr. Walsh, Brooke, Chanel and the entire team were absolutely wonderful! They were extremely responsive and were able to see me quickly to address an emergency issue. Highly recommend. More

My husband and I both had “New Patient” visits today with Saratoga Springs Family Dentistry and we both walked out having had such an amazing position e experience! First and foremost, they are going above and beyond during this time to keep all patients and their staff safe. When you arrive they have you call the office and once they’re ready for you, they call you to have you come in (eliminating any waiting period in the waiting area). ALL staff members were appropriately wearing required PPE (masks, gowns, gloves, etc). At no point in time did either of us feel uncomfortable being out and about! We each had different individuals assist with our teeth cleanings, I had Leah and my husband had Victoria, both of which were extremely thorough and personable; highly recommend either of them! I apologize for not remembering the name of the Dentist who came in after my cleaning, but after trying out several different dentists, he was the FIRST person to take the time to explain my x-rays to me, take the time to ask me questions and have an actual conversation; not just a quick check in-and-out scenario. It was so appreciated!! Lastly, Chanel helped us with our checkout process, and after working for many years in a customer/public position, she was absolutely fantastic! She is so sweet, funny, and really went out of her way to make us feel right at home. We will 100% be patients for life there now, and highly recommend to anyone in need of a new dentist! Thank you so much! More

The staff is amazing! Great group of people, all of which are highly educated in their fields. They make you feel comfortable and have been going above and beyond to keep everyone safe during this pandemic. Highly recommended. More

Paula was great as my dental hygienist. Very personable, great at explaining and made the experience enjoyable. Dr Walsh is great also as he is kind, professional and helpful Highly recommend More

My hygienist Krysta is super friendly, caring and always does a great job with cleaning. Dr. Walsh also provides consistently good care. More

Dr. Walsh is an amazing dentist. He is super gentle, kind, friendly and funny. He really puts you at ease when having procedures done. He did my root canal and other work with absolutely no pain.

Highly recommend him to everyone. More
