Woodstock General & Implant Dentistry, operating from its Woodstock, NY location, is a comprehensive
dental clinic that was formerly known as Tischler & Patch Dental. The practice was founded in 1971 by Dr. Maurice “Buzzy” Tischler and has since evolved under the leadership of a team of experts, including
Dr. Michael Tischler and, more recently,
Dr. Claudia Patch. The clinic is dedicated to providing high-quality, patient-focused care that treats the "whole person" and not just their teeth.
The clinic's philosophy is centered on creating a stress-free and calming environment. This is reflected in the design of their facility, which is situated on nine scenic acres and features large windows to bring in natural light, Brazilian cherry wood floors, and even indoor waterfalls. The practice integrates modern technology with traditional and holistic methods, such as acupuncture and homeopathic remedies, to promote patient comfort and healing.
A key area of expertise for the clinic is implant dentistry. They offer a full range of implant services, including single-tooth implants, multiple-tooth implants, and full-mouth restorations. They utilize advanced technology like in-office CAT scans (3D imaging) and lasers to ensure precision and minimal discomfort. Other services include general and
cosmetic dentistry (e.g.,
teeth whitening,
veneers,
crowns), bone grafting, and various restorative procedures.
The team at Woodstock General & Implant Dentistry is known for its commitment to patient safety and well-being. They emphasize open communication and personalized treatment plans. The practice also champions inclusivity, actively creating a welcoming space for everyone, including the LGBTQ+ community. Dr. Claudia Patch, in particular, is highlighted for her dedication to delivering meticulous and compassionate care.
Beyond the clinic, the practice has a history of community involvement, including the establishment of the Tischler Dental Foundation to provide
dental care for underprivileged children in Ulster County. This reflects the clinic's broader mission to contribute positively to the health and well-being of the community.
