I never thought I would be writing a positive review for a dentist, but here I am.The staff is professional, friendly, and good at their jobs. I hadn't been to a dentist in a while, but there was no guilt tripping. And I learned things about dental care I didn't know before. I will recommend Dr. Purdy's practice to friends. It's covered out of network but worth it. After the horrors of my last dentist, and subsequent avoidance of dentists, I truly appreciate the value of a good one.

This place is fantastic. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. I'm generally afraid of going to the dentist for both my wallet and nerves but they were pretty gentle on both. Unrelated to the cavity I was there for I was having a bite issue that only required a tiny adjustment and they didn't even charge me for that bit of tooth buffing. I also appreciated that they have a real office. A lot of these Ithaca dental practices are just run out of residential houses which freaks me out a little. You want the dentist that does enough business to rent a nice place, in my opinion.

Dr. Purdy is great!Since I didn't get regular dental checkups (had very bad dental experience before and afraid to go to dentist) and there were a lot of problems with my teeth, and I decided to get them done before getting braces. So I went to Dr. Purdy and did cleaning, several fillings and one root canal in his office, and I am quiet satisfied with what he has done for me so far. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful, especially Anna, who helped me so much about scheduling appointments and explaining the whole treatment clearly. Even though the office is out of network but definitely

This is a great dentist. The staff is friendly and truly wants what is best for the patient. Though they are not in network with any insurance companies, I would pay the extra money to go see them as opposed to going to a bad in-network dentist. Good dentists are hard to find in Ithaca, but Dr. Purdy's office is a good one.
I recently began experiencing incredible pain in my bottom tooth. Though Dr. Purdy was out of network, I had heard good things about him (and poor things about some of the other dentists), so scheduled an appointment.
The dentist assistant Anna was so incredibly helpful

I haven't really interacted much with Dr Purdy, though from my brief interactions it seemed that he was quite interested in selling me procedures. However, the reason I want to write this review is that my cleanings, done by Candace Daddona R.D.H. were the best, most thorough and comfortable I've ever had. If you need a really good hygienist she's the one! She found the pockets of plague hidden underneath the gum line that my previous dentists had missed and cleaned them without any discomfort! If you need lots of work I don't have any advice for you, but if you're looking

When I was a grad student at Cornell, I needed to find a reliable dentist for my biannual teeth checkup and cleaning. After asking my helpful friend and receptionist for the Education Dept, she recommended me to come here and I had no regrets! Even for a cash patient, they are not here to rip one off. Definitely worth visiting if I ever move back to Ithaca!
