Dr. Alex and the entire staff are absolutely amazing! I have some considerable anxiety about seeing dentists. Dr. Alex was so patient, kind and empathetic. She talked me through things, took breaks when I needed it and was so helpful and encouraging. I feel so much more confident about my smile now that Dr. Alex has restored it. The office is clean and comfortable. Literally the entire staff is so sweet and kind. I would highly recommend Harrison Family Dentists and specifically Dr. Alex to anyone needing a new dentist!

Having recently left another local practice (after 15 years as an every six month patient), I was fortunate to have been recommended to Dr. Alex at Harrison Family Dentists in Saratoga Springs, NY. She is patient, kind, and gave me the most thorough "first visit" appointment I've ever had. My x-rays showed that I needed work which the other local practice had not either realized or touched upon. I highly recommend this office for their professionalism in all areas, including hygienists and front office staff as well. I have super high standards for my health care practitioners and having been seen four times since my initial visit, I am 100 percent satisfied.
