Dr. Michael E. Gelfman, DDS

Ever notice how some medical offices blend into the background of Albany’s Palisades Drive—that quiet stretch where the road curves just enough to make you double-check the address? Dr. Michael E. Gelfman, DDS is one of those unassuming but essential spots, tucked into suite 210 at 5 Palisades Dr. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of thing most people think about until they need it—wisdom teeth pulling, dental implants, or the kind of jaw realignment that sounds complicated but ends up being routine for the right specialist. This isn’t a practice that advertises with flashy signs or social media campaigns; it’s the sort of place you find when a dentist refers you, or when a search for “oral surgeon near me” finally lands on a name that keeps appearing in local conversations.

The building itself is part of that mid-century professional cluster—functional, no-frills, the kind of architecture that prioritizes accessibility over aesthetics. Need to confirm an appointment or ask about post-op instructions? The phone line, (518) 348-0634, connects directly to the office. And if you’re mapping the route for the first time, the directions will show you exactly where to turn—just watch for the numbered suites once you’re inside.
