I have been a Patient at Dental Design Studio for many years and my experiences there have always been great! The entire staff is very friendly and helpful and Nicole, my Dental Hygienist, does an excellent job and she is a delight to be with! And as for Dr. Whalen himself, he always greets you with a warm welcome and his examinations are very thorough! I always feel well cared for when I go to Dental Design Studio and I truly look forward to my visits to come!

This office is the most professional and friendly dental office one can visit. Dr Whalen is the dentist to see whether you live in Dutchess County NY or anywhere in the North East.

Incredible patient care--so compassionate. A very welcoming place. Competence exudes from reception to dentist's chair. The entire team was there to achieve patient comfort, resolve my dental issue and get me back in the swing of life ASAP. Dr Whalen is very gentle, gives enough explanation so you know what's going to happen next, but skips the technical lingo so as not to overwhelm with superfluous details. The office is impeccable and clearly designed to create a soothing, patient-centric environment, from the color of the walls to the comfy sofa in the waiting room. I very much appreciated the approach to future needs: scheduling my next appointment right away and giving me an idea of what would happen on that day; setting out a timeline that gives a good idea of typical progression through the suggested procedures; and providing a clear and concise financial overview that not only informed me of costs over the course of future treatment, but set out three options for payment and the benefit of each. Dr Whalen and his team have one goal: taking good care of their patients' mouths to protect overall health and vitality. That goal shines through and through. Thank you, Dental Design Studio and Dr Whalen.

Doctor Whelan is by far the best Dentist anywhere that I've ever experienced. He is an amazing, brilliant, talented and most importantly, trustworthy dentist. Even though I moved North and have a different dentist for cleanings, Dr. Whelan has been my "go-to" for over the last 20 years. He removed all the Mercury fillings, replaced with no -evasive materials and he has put on every Crown. I wouldn't trust anybody else to do so. Today he removed a tooth and successfully installed and anchor for future work. Thanks again Dr. Whelan.

Simply the best. Highly trained dentist and staff, innovative methods and technogically advanced equipment. Plus beautiful decor and very thoughtful little comforts that make a big difference. They really care and it shows in every way.
