I just read these negative posts and know for a fact that most of this stuff is from bad employees and the stuff that is bad I can say is not true. Everything that I read is the complete opposite. Dr. Barra trained me from scratch with no dental background. I love it so much that I just got accepted to a dental college in Rochester where I'm going to get my degree in dental assisting. Chelsea has worked for Dr. Barra for the last 3 years and has been on the waiting list for the hygiene program at Hudson Valley for the past 2 years. She started with Dr. Barra right out of high school and never had dental experience either and now wants to be a dental hygienist. Seeing as both dental assistants are going to school for dentistry must mean something positive that Dr. Barra has taught us. Dr. Barra gives 110% to all of her patients and is one of the BEST dentists around. I will be very sad to leave and I sure hope that when I am done with school in a year, she will hire me back! Also, I know of two people who have asked for their jobs back after they left but Dr. Barra had already hired new employees. Everyone who thinks negatively about her should reconsider because your really missing out on not only a great dentist but a great person. If you don't believe this is a real post, then call Dr. Barra's office and ask for me. My name is Ansley and Dr. Barras office number is 786-0979. Chelsea works here too and she will tell you the same thing. I wrote this from my own free will so please take my advice because there isn't a better dentist in Albany. I mean that.
