About
I’m Tallie Czajkowski, Territory Manager & Practice Consultant with Patterson Dental. My chairside background taught me to notice the details that can be missed when a practice decision is discussed away from the operatory: where supplies are stored, how a room is set up, and what happens to a full schedule when equipment isn’t working. Those details still guide the way I help dental teams today.
I work with Equipment & Technology Specialist Andrew Baldwin to help dentists and dental teams across Upstate New York think through both everyday practice concerns and larger equipment decisions. Andrew brings the technical and planning perspective; I bring firsthand experience of the clinical work those decisions need to support.
Territory Manager & Practice Consultant
Before joining Patterson Dental, I spent over a decade as a dental assistant. I worked alongside dentists, hygienists, and front office teams through full schedules and the everyday problems that can slow an office down. That experience is why I ask how a recommendation will work for the people using a product or process, not just whether it looks good on paper.
Today, those conversations range from fee schedules and supply routines to equipment choices and plans for a practice transition. I can help compare practical product options, including more affordable alternatives when they make sense. When a question needs expertise outside my own, I draw on Patterson specialists and other professional contacts rather than trying to offer an answer I can’t stand behind.
Being responsive matters when there’s a full schedule and a team waiting on an answer. I work hard to follow through, whether someone needs a quick product comparison, a connection to a specialist, or help working through a problem that takes more than one conversation.
I’m a mom of two boys, and my husband and I live on an operating beef cattle farm. Life outside dentistry includes family, time outdoors, travel, and cheering on my kids. It’s a busy life, and one that keeps me grounded in the value of hard work and showing up for people.
Equipment & Technology Specialist
Andrew brings more than 20 years of experience in dental capital equipment and technology. He works with practices that are opening, expanding, renovating, or considering updates to their existing operatories. His expertise includes equipment selection, dental office layouts, digital technology integration, and workflow planning. He also works with customers to prepare office blueprints and collaborates with architects and contractors as plans take shape.
His planning perspective connects the layout of a room with the equipment and systems it needs to support. That includes thinking about how the team will move through the space, how technology fits into the workflow, and what an office may need as it grows. He helps practices consider those decisions together rather than one purchase at a time.
“Your vision. Your practice. The right equipment and technology to help you grow.”
The Partnership
A practice replacing equipment may need both a clear understanding of day-to-day clinical needs and careful attention to room layout or technology requirements. Andrew and I bring those perspectives together when a project calls for them. We also work with the appropriate Patterson specialists and other professional contacts when a question goes beyond our respective roles.
For some offices, that may mean planning an operatory update with Andrew. For others, the immediate issue is a fee schedule or a supply routine that needs attention. We can start with the question that’s actually in front of your team and involve the right people as the work takes shape.
Service Territory
I work with general dentists, specialists, practice owners, office managers, and dental teams throughout Upstate New York. My core territory includes Syracuse, Rochester, Binghamton, Ithaca, Brockport, Fulton, Canandaigua, Geneva, Cortland, Endicott, Oswego, and Auburn.
