Tallie Czajkowski | Patterson Dental
I’m Tallie Czajkowski, Territory Manager & Practice Consultant with Patterson Dental. Before joining Patterson, I spent over a decade chairside as a dental assistant. I know what a full schedule feels like when an equipment issue throws off the day, when supplies are not where they need to be, or when a decision that looks simple on paper has to work for the entire team.
Today, I work with dentists and dental teams throughout Upstate New York. I take the time to understand what is happening in your practice, bring in the right Patterson resources and expertise, and work through practical decisions involving practice performance, supplies, equipment, technology, and future plans.

The Chairside Perspective
Having worked chairside, I look at recommendations in terms of how they will actually function in the practice. I understand how product choices affect the people reaching for them every day, how equipment decisions shape the operatory, and how small workflow problems can become expensive or frustrating when they repeat across a busy week.
That perspective still guides the way I work. I start with the problem, not the product, and I am comfortable saying when a different or more affordable option is the better fit. When a question falls outside my own expertise, I can connect you with the Patterson specialists and other trusted resources who are better equipped to answer it.
Solutions & Audit
Every practice has different priorities, and the right place to start depends on what is happening in yours. Some conversations begin with the numbers. Others begin with an aging operatory, a supply process that has become harder than it should be, or a larger plan for the future.
A closer look at your fee schedule, procedure mix, production data, and provider information can surface patterns that are easy to miss during a busy week. I can help organize and review that information with you so you have a clearer picture of where your fees stand and which areas deserve a closer look.
Major equipment decisions affect far more than the purchase itself. Whether you are replacing a single operatory, remodeling, expanding, or planning a new office, Patterson Equipment & Technology Specialist Andrew Baldwin and I can help you think through layout, ergonomics, equipment selection, technology integration, mechanical requirements, and how the pieces need to work together.
Everyday purchasing and inventory decisions can quietly consume time and budget. I work with dental teams to review the products they use, compare practical alternatives, simplify ordering, improve inventory control, and build purchasing systems that are easier for the team to maintain.
The Partnership
Some practice questions are rooted in day-to-day clinical workflow. Others require deeper equipment, technology, and planning experience. Working together allows Andrew and me to bring both perspectives into the conversation when a project calls for them.
Territory Manager & Practice Consultant with Patterson Dental
My chairside background shapes the questions I ask and the way I evaluate recommendations. I understand the difference between something that sounds good in a presentation and something that has to work for the doctor, assistant, hygienist, and front office once the day gets busy. My goal is to be a reliable resource you can call when you need an answer, another perspective, or the right connection.
Equipment & Technology Specialist
Andrew brings more than 20 years of experience in dental capital equipment and technology. He works with practices on operatory planning, office layouts, equipment selection, digital technology, and workflow planning, helping translate a practice’s priorities into a space and technology plan that can serve it well for years.
How We Work Together
With Andrew’s years of expertise in dental equipment, technology, and office design paired with Tallie’s decade of hands-on clinical experience, we bring two different perspectives together to help our customers make the best decisions for their practices.
From designing a new office and selecting equipment to finding solutions for the everyday challenges that come with running a dental practice, we work as a team from start to finish. Our goal isn’t simply to sell something….it’s to understand what you’re trying to accomplish and help you get there.
And while we take our customers and their businesses seriously, we believe the best partnerships are built on trust, hard work, plenty of laughs, and actually enjoying the people you work with.
Shake & Bake…..Andrew brings the equipment and design expertise, Tallie brings the clinical perspective, and together, we make things happen.
