I was coming here for about 10 years. It started getting awkward with the white older lady at the front desk. She was always so nice to me until the last few years she just kept giving me the cold shoulder or would just walk away, for me to be dealt with by the other younger women behind the desk. It was my favorite dentist but not for the price and not for the customer experience.

It's been 11 years since my last review of Tarrytown Dental, so that means I've been going there for 13 years -- wow! I just got a filling done today and it was quick, in and out in about half an hour, and absolutely painless. Dr. Brinkley and his assistant had the procedure down to a science. I want to say that the same people have been working here for the decade+ that I've been going to this dentist, which probably means that they're happy at their jobs (or so I hope!)

Wonderful! I won't go to any other dental office as long as I live in Austin!

I have been going here for years and love it. Kellie cleans my teeth and is the absolute best. Dr. Brinkley doesn't recommend procedures that are unnecessary. He'll tell you what's going on and give you options and will be honest with you if it's something not necessary. I have a couple of teeth that we've "been watching" for years, but they are still going strong. Once they aren't, then I'll have something done.

I have done cleaning and filling in this place. Staff are friendly and professional, all the appointments are confirmed and reminded by email and text, and the overall experience is good. My complaints are that: 1) the cost estimate by this place is off, I was notified by mail two weeks later after the filling session that they were wrong by 50%! 2) the filling that they have done is a little bit lower than my own teeth was - meaning that it puts extra pressure on my lower teeth right underneath it that were not treated.

Dr. Brinkley is kind and caring. Technically, he is clearly first-rate. Due to some earlier bad experiences I have an irrational fear of dental work, but Dr. B. is very understanding. And his office staff and hygenists--wow, I can't praise them enough. They know that many of us have a slightly constrained budget and are respectful of that. Plus, the office is in an old convent building and is really nice!

This is the best Dentist office in Austin! Staff is very Friendly as always and they use state of the art equipment. You really feel that they properly clean your teeth and they really care.

I love my dentist. I didn't know if I'd ever find another good dentist after moving away from home, but I did with Dr. Brinkley at Tarrytown Dental. While I've only met Dr. Brinkley once, I do know that he is polite and professional and knowledgeable and that his staff are absolutely outstanding. From the wonderful, professional women at the front desk to the hygienists in back, I can't say enough good things.

I came in, they did an initial evaluation, we set out a plan, and we are working our way through it. My mouth is cleaner than ever because of their work and advice. Jennie is my hygienist, and she has taken such good care of me. We did a deep gum cleaning, and she did everything in her power to make sure that it was a comfortable experience for me. Headphones, dark glasses, topical numbing in addition to the shots, and kept me up to date on how much more we had to go. I've gone back in for a checkup, and she remembers me (we're both east Texans), and she was so sweet about telling me how much better my teeth and gums looked. I blame her for my clean mouth.

Just left the office - was in and out, new patient + x rays and cleaning - in 1 hour. Staff was excellent - Dr. Brinkley was very thoughtful and non alarmist. Highly recommend - and loved the convenient location and ample parking.

I am one of those rare folks who actually likes the dentist. I have had some great dental experiences, but when I moved to Austin I had a sub par experience and then slacked off going for about a year. My sister recently went to Dr. Brinkley and insisted I give it a try. I was not disappointed. 1) Super friendly. My first appointment smooth. 2) Insanely prompt, it was my first appointment so x-rays and the full program, but I no wait at all.

I went from completing the paperwork, directly to having the x-rays and pictures taken of my teeth. 3) Honest. The reason I didn't love my first Austin dental experience was they found what they called a "cosmetic concern" and recommended / pushed a very expensive treatment not covered by insurance, and then continued to call me frequently. Dr. Brinkley gave me several options and let me decide what I wanted to do with my teeth. 4)Clean and Comfortable. Very clean, which is a deal breaker when it comes to a dentist. Nice extra touches and very modern high tech. 5) Overall Experience was beyond good.

Dr. Brinkley at Tarrytown Dental has been the best dentist my family has seen (and we've been through quite a few). We've been going here for about five years now and never had a single complaint. Friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere, nice building. Overall great service. Highly recommended!

Denise is one the sweetest employees there! Her bright smile and warm sense of humor makes me feel like I'm part of a family, rather than just a customer :-

Dr. Brinkley is an excellent dentist. He & his staff will go the extra mile to take care of you. I rarely write Yelp reviews, but I had to give Dr. Brinkley a quick 5 star review to say thank you for taking care of me & my boyfriend.

The best dentist I have ever been to. He has a very caring and attentive staff from the front desk, to the hygienists to DrBrinkley himself. They get you in on time, perform the work and get you out quickly, no waiting around. They have the latest tools and technology. Easier, less painful cleanings and Dr Brinkley throughly explains all about your dental health. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a great dentist that is genuinely concerned about his patients care.

Best Dentist! Our whole family is with Tarrytown Dental. He's great with kids and adults. He has an amazing chairside manner, very thorough with explanations, and obviously takes pride in his work. He has a relaxed and humble demeanor, also. We highly recommend Dr. Brinkley and his team to everyone.

Have always been faithful to visits to the dentist every six months even though it's one of my lease favorite things to do. Finally having to join the ranks of having a crown, Dr. Brinkley truly took time to listen to my long list of fears!

Dr. Brinkley is The Man. Highly skilled and experienced. He is supported by a great team of assistants, hygienist, and office staff. I have been seeing Dr. Brinkley for 8 years, lots of bridge and crown work. It does not get any better that Tarrytown Dental. When I first went there, I was slightly reluctant because I thought anything with the word "TARRYTOWN" in it, was going to cost a fortune.

What a pleasant surprise to discover their prices were not inflated! You don't have to be Bill Gates to get cutting edge dental work in Tarrytown! I have never had a long wait in 8 years, ever. They have my trust and my highest recommendation! Jim H. Austin TX

This is my first Yelp review ever but, I just had to let people know what a great guy & dentist Dr. Brinkley is. His staff is awesome too. I am 56 years old and have been to a lot of dentist & am so happy to have found one that I like, trust & respect. Everything good said about him in the other reviews is true. I highly recommend him.

Top notch service without sales pitches and extraneous services. Dr. Brinkley tells it like it is. He doesn't try to up sell you spa services or cosmetic procedures, although he is equipped and experienced in both. Simply put, his goal is to keep your mouth healthy. I have got the same hygienist every time, so it is like being with familiar friends. the homey office and treatment rooms are nicely appointed which makes the place feel less clinical. it is always a treat to visit.

Okay, I am picky when it comes to Dentists. Well, any Doctor for that matter. Well, okay.anything for that matter. My Dentist dropped my dental insurance so I had to find another Dentist. I found Dr. Brinkley on a referral from an Orthodontist who she recognized his name from her dental school. Well, SO GLAD she did. He is awesome! I just saw him again today. Been going there for 4 years now.

Love him! In a satisfied dental patient way. He has state of the art equipment. When my xrays were taken today.no developing. It automatically gets transferred and developed on the computer! Way too cool. He has a flat screen where he puts pictures of your teeth on so you can see what he's talking about. He doesn't recommend anything that doesn't need to be done just to make money.

I find him to be an honest and upfront Dentist. The people he has working in his office are GREAT! They are always on time for appointments and give reminder calls/post cards for appointments. The only bad thing I have to say about it is they don't serve champagne to you upon your arrival. :
