Fantastic experience: As always Tammy is excellent.. personable and professional! Dr Ruckert always makes me feel at ease and keeps my medical issues on the forefront.
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in the door you are treated with care and respect by very wonderful people. The entire staff from the front office, assistants, hygienist and dentists treat you with great care. I can't recommend this office any higher to anyone that is seeking dental care. They will always have mine and my family's business.
Fantastic experience: I am impressed with the entire staff at this office. From the front door on, everyone is kind, inviting, and personable. You can tell the staff get a long great. The office is clean, the techs are interactive and talk you through everything they are going. The Dentist is experienced and honest. I am glad I established not only myself here but both my daughters as well.
Fantastic experience: All the employees are very nice and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Great service great doctors front staff know what they are doing, never had a issue with treatments
Fantastic experience: Shelly and Dr. Rucker are welcoming, professional and just simply- terrific! Cleanings are meticulously completed and Dr. Ruckert has always thoughtfully and carefully considered the best clinical choices for my dental issues. I trust both completely whenever I have an office visit, to always provide “top notch” services! 2/9/26- follow-up for a broken, temporary bridge was excellent! I got an appointment very quickly from the wonderful office staff and Dr. Ruckert/dental hygienist thoroughly addressed my issues. As always, treatment was conducted in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, that made my appointment completely comfortable.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, on time and fixed my problem immediately. Went back because my temporary fell off and they already had my permanent so they just put it in most offices would be like we’re gonna put the tent back on and come back for your permanent. I’m impressed by the quick professional service. They’re excellent and I will recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Easy fillings today. Dr. Marcus is amazing and his assistant too!
Fantastic experience: It's always a pleasure going to the dentist when all of the staff are so pleasant. Many thanks for taking care of my issue on short notice.
Fantastic experience: Lots of work done to catch up for neglect,great outcome so far,not done yet but can see the finish line.Would recommend 100%.
Fantastic experience: Dr Marcus and crew did a fantastic job handling my anxiety and removing an old crown that needed to be fixed. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for the review, Barb! It makes us so happy that we can ease patients' nerves and make them feel comfortable during procedures.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, a beautiful Adirondack themed office, and excellent dental care every visit. The practice is spotless, welcoming and professionally run. They respect your time, keep appointments running smoothly, and make the entire experience easy from start to finish. I highly recommend this practice for exceptional dental care!
Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional staff!
Fantastic experience: I am happy with my experience with them, Kudos to the whole team. Thank you Tammy and Dr. Alex.
Fantastic experience: This office is awesome!! Everyone is so friendly and upbeat all the time. Yesterday, I had an issue that needed to be dealt with. Even though Dr. Ruckert was not in the office he was contacted and I got a call back within 5 minutes. Dr. Marcus made room in his schedule to fix the issue. Never felt rushed and it was the same friendly staff! I highly recommend this practice!
Thank you so much for the review, Colleen! We were so happy to help you and give you such a great experience. We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Able to give a quick appointment to fix an issue and give solid advise. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: First visit was enjoyable…lots of questions answered, everyone was very helpful and friendly! Second visit had a meticulous job done on a deep cavity and a finish that feels like my real enamel. I’m very pleased.
Fantastic experience: Excellent workmanship. Been to many dentists and this one by far did the best work. No pain, very comfortable experience. Every visit was fast and pain free.
Fantastic experience: Staff is very welcoming and nice. Dr. Marcus was great as well.
Fantastic experience: All positive impressions except for the music which was playing. If patients are held to a 15 min grace period before office reschedules services- (last week) then perhaps when the office is running more than 15 min late (today) the patients could be granted a merchandise or financial grace as well. Just a thought, folks. Our tardiness last week was all our fault, but it did cost us 4 hours travel time to make it up. Adequate punishment for us. Jan 28, 2026 It happened again. I was called in from the waiting room 20 min after my 3pm scheduled appt without so much as an apology. (A double standard.) June 11, 2026 Husband & myself had all positive experiences today on routine 4 month cleanings. Everyone was running on time. Music much more peaceful. Thank you! We appreciate the time spent by Emily at the front getting estimates, showing products & explaining Zoom booking procedures. Also appreciate being rewarded for our longevity (5 years )with a discount on our out of pocket expenses above & beyond our annual contract cost. Good business!
Fantastic experience: Dr Marcus and team are always 10/10. I was in need of a last minute urgent appointment today and I got right in on time. Dr came right in- we made a plan and I was on my way. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: We love Dr Rucker’s and the staff for their professional service and always willing to help. Thank you all.
Fantastic experience: They are Great. I broke my tooth on Friday called them immediately. They were able to get me in Monday, and stayed late to get my broken tooth and other teeth that were scheduled for a future appointment done. Super friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Hard to be enthusiastic about a visit to the dentist, but it is possible here.
Fantastic experience: Lake George Family Dental accommodated my request for a hygienist appointment. The hygienist was thorough and took great care of.
Fantastic experience: Tammy does a great job taking care of me
Fantastic experience: It has always been a good experience even when having fillings. Dr. Marcus is very good. Their plan has saved me money as paying dental insurance was a waste.
Fantastic experience: I was scared to come in. Thought I was doing something wrong in trying to put new teeth in. He fixed them. Love my new teeth again.
Fantastic experience: Great first experience including welcome. Entire staff were so kind & are to be commended on their professionalism! Hygienist, Shelley gave me the best cleaning I’ve ever had, my heartfelt thanks to her! Dr Brandon Marcus, after his review of my X-rays & consultation made me feel so comfortable in understanding & explaining the options I can choose with his professional opinion & considering my concerns, I’m so grateful. Thank you all!

Fantastic experience: My efficiently assigned appointment to Lake George Family Dentstry, that I attended today was GREAT! Their dental care expertise, kindness, and the positive energy environment of their professional office has made me feel a blessing! That wonderful experience, and the dental care benefits I received from their expertise, has me feeling very thankful today - great day! Sincerely, Maggie
Fantastic experience: My husband and I had our first visit with Lake George Family Dentistry today, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We had fallen behind on our dental care and hadn’t been in a few years, so we were a bit nervous, but the entire team was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. When searching for a new dentist, they were one of the only offices in the area to return our call, and they were able to schedule us as new patients within just a few months, which we really appreciated. Our cleanings were some of the best we’ve ever had, and what stood out most was how comfortable they made us feel. At no point did we feel judged, just genuinely cared for. We would highly recommend them to anyone local looking for quality dental care!
Fantastic experience: It is so hard to find a good dentist that accepts my dental insurance, I found this dentistry and I am very happy with both the hygienist and the dentist! I hope they do not stop taking my dental insurance as it seems that most dentists have stopped accepting insurances. Thank you for being here!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Ruckert is great and staff is wonderful. I am very comfortable there and have complete confidence in them.
Thank you so much, Ellen! This makes us so happy to hear.
Fantastic experience: Choosing Lake George Family Dentistry has been life-changing. Tori and Emily at the front desk are welcoming and very knowledgeable and friendly, they're easy to communicate with for billing and setting up future appointments. Dr. Marcus and dental assistant Meghan have been incredible to work with. Meghan has always made me feel comfortable as I'm very anxious and thoroughly explained what they would be working on that day and helped answer any questions I had. Dr. Marcus has been an absolute pleasure to work with. His work has given me a new found confidence in my marriage and life. No longer afraid to smile in photo's or worry about laughing and someone noticing my previously bad teeth. Dr. Marcus and the rest of the Lake George Family team will keep me coming back to this practice for years. I truthfully cannot thank you all enough. - Aaron C
