Mary and Claire are the friendly voices that you hear when you call our office. Mary has been with our office for more than 40 years and is instrumental in making the front office run smoothly and efficiently. She is an expert at dealing with insurance companies and knows the technology required to submit insurance claims, digital x-rays, intraoral photos, and other information electronically. Claire joined our office earlier this year after our previous front-desk employee relocated to Florida. Claire spent nine years working in another dental office. Claire and Mary work beautiful together. Both of them treat our patients as family. When you have a dental problem, they can usually schedule an appointment the same day.

Fred S. Maron, DMD

Dr. Maron's passion for dentistry and commitment to excellence are well-known to both patients and colleagues in the community. He considers his staff and patients to be an extended famly. New patients are amazed at the warmth and caring shown to them by the staff and doctor. When Dr. Maron calls patients to see how they are doing after a difficult procedure, they commonly remark that no doctor has ever called them at night or on a weekend to check on them.

Dr. Maron also believes that giving patients adequate time is very important. Some people hate going to the dentist. Just sitting in a dental chair is traumatic for many of them. Dr. Maron is very patient and understanding of the needs of these patients. Years later they remind him of how fearful they once were in being treated in the dental office and how comfortable they are now in coming.

Dr. Maron has practiced general dentistry in his current Poughkeepsie, New York location for more than 45 years. He has completed advanced training in all aspects of dental treatment, including Invisalign^® orthodontics, Bioclear technique for placing plastic fillings, dental sleep medicine, and mini implants. 

Dr. Maron is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine, which is the highest credential a dentist can achieve in sleep medicine. He is also a Master of the Academy of General Dentistry, one of only two practicing dentists in Dutchess County to achieve this level, and has been selected annually since 2011 as a Hudson Valley "Top Dentist" and "America's Best Dentist." Dr. Maron has taught dental residents at Montefiore Hospital and published dental articles. He participates regularly in continuing education and reads numerous dental journals to stay up-to-date with current techniques and materials.

With 5-star reviews, superior training, experience, continuing education, and commitment to excellence, Fred S. Maron is Hudson Valley's Top Dentist and America's Best Dentist.
