My father, Dr. Albert Gilman, founded The Gilman Orthodontic practice in 1964. As I personally have been in practice for over 30 years, some of our current patients are the grandchildren of our original patient family! Few professions or occupations enable one to establish and maintain such long-term relationships within their community. The beautiful smiles that we create are only part of the gratifying experience.

I am regularly involved in dental continuing education as pertaining to dentistry in general, and orthodontics in particular. Courses I have taken include orthodontic technique and theory, practice management, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements, CPR training, and infection control.

I have practiced orthodontics since 1983, and attained American Board of Orthodontics Diplomate status in 1996. I truly love what I do. Beautiful, handsome smiles and enhanced confidence and self-esteem are only the beginning! Some orthodontic treatment is rendered over several years, and our patients become part of our office family. We have the privilege and opportunity to share in our patients' life events and joyous occasions.

I grew up in Glen Cove, NY, and have lived in East Northport since 1996. My lovely wife is Dr. Bonnie L. Yellin, with whom I share the practice. We have three wonderful children named Jordana, Jonathan, and Benjamin. In my spare time, I enjoy running, weight training, and bicycling. I love all the outdoor activities that Long Island has to offer, including spending time at the beach, hiking, and nature walks.

On this site, you can learn about orthodontic specialists in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. The correction of tooth and jaw alignment results in a healthy, attractive smile thats good for life.

I absolutely love being an orthodontist! I feel fortunate to be able to enjoy what I do every day and to see the positive impact I can make in a person's life. I get amazing satisfaction by building beautiful smiles and I especially enjoy the improved self-esteem and confidence that comes with these new smiles. These positive changes stay with our patients forever.

I am involved with continuing education to stay informed and current in the specialty of orthodontics. In addition to taking courses in both orthodontics and general dentistry, I attend orthodontic meetings and journal clubs, and keep up with all the current orthodontic literature.

I was born and raised in Aurora, Illinois, and moved to New York to attend college and stayed to complete my dental and orthodontic degrees. I met my husband, Dr. Brian Gilman, while attending Columbia University Dental School. We married in 1988, and I then joined Gilman Orthodontic Associates. As Dr. Brian and I practice orthodontics together, we consider our practice an extension of our home and family. We have three amazing children named Jordana, Jonathan, and Benjamin. Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I run, bike, and hike outdoors all through the year. I also love to read, travel, cook, and work in my vegetable garden.

At the orthodontic practice of Gilman Orthodontic Associates, our friendly, dedicated, and energetic orthodontic team is committed to working with you to create a positive orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

At Gilman Orthodontic Associates, Drs. Gilman and Yellin and our team work hard to treat our patients the same way we would like to be treated: with respect, professionalism, and sensitivity toward our needs. We understand the expectations of the patients and families throughout the Hauppauge, NY community, and we do everything we can to make sure that each patient has an exceptional experience at our practice.
