Meet Dr. Lindsey Battiste
I firmly believe in following one’s passion, which for me, is pediatric dentistry. Each day presents new opportunities and challenges as I engage with the vibrant world of children’s oral health. Witnessing the growth and development of my young patients from childhood to adulthood is truly rewarding. Making dentistry enjoyable for kids is a priority, often lightening the atmosphere with my own brand of humor. I’m a firm believer in the power of early education in dental hygiene, knowing that small steps taken today can lead to significant impacts in the future.
With over a decade of practice in Schenectady, I’ve become deeply rooted in the community, staying connected with families beyond dental care. Despite the occasional appearance of gray hairs, my spirit remains youthful, fueled by the energy and laughter of the children I have the privilege to care for.

Dr. Lindsey Battiste
Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist
I find joy in spending quality time with my two wonderful kids and my husband, Dr. Matthew Battiste. Our weekends are often filled with the excitement of soccer games and horse shows, as we cheer on our children and their teammates. Animals hold a special place in my heart, with our family including two beloved dogs, a horse, and a lively group of backyard poultry. I’m an avid reader, finding delight in exploring the pages of various books across genres.
