“While in Lake Placid for a lacrosse tournament, a molar that had been giving me pain for months finally cracked. My own dentist had retired, and I couldn't get seen at home in the Hudson Valley until September — this was July. On a whim, I called Dr. Mara Mariana’s office, frustrated and desperate. Despite being fully booked, they got me in within 24 hours.
Dr. Mariana was kind, professional, and hands-down the best dentist I’ve seen in my 53 years. She quickly assessed the situation, explained my options clearly, and performed a painless extraction — all within 20 minutes. I made it to my son’s game an hour later, and days later I’m still pain-free for the first time in months.
Her staff was equally wonderful — compassionate and helpful. Her assistant even recommended a local historic bridge and swimming hole that became a surprise highlight of our trip. I never thought a dental visit would be one of the best parts of our short stay in Lake Placid, but it absolutely was. I’d drive 3.5 hours to see her again if I could!“
