If you are in need of a dentist, I'd most strongly recommend Dr. Michael Seitz' Family Practice in Cornwall-on-Hudson, NY. I have been treated by dentists in several European countries where they were mostly awful (the worst in the U.K.) In the U.S. I've been a patient with a half dozen marginal dentists in different states until I happened upon Dr. Seitz. I haven't looked back since I became his patient two decades ago. He is the ultimate professional Doctor of Dental Surgery who emphasizes the most rigorous dental hygiene and 6-monthly cleanings and checkups. One of many reasons I'd be loath to leave the area of Cornwall in the mid-Hudson Valley is that I cannot imagine leaving behind my all-time favorite dentist. One should also emphasize that Dr. Seitz is a famously superb dentist for children as well.
