I've never felt so comfortable at a Dentist Office before my first experience here today. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. My hygienist Jennifer explained every part of the cleaning beforehand, and made sure that I was comfortable throughout. The doctor Stephanie listened attentively when I had questions. I left feeling encouraged to improve my dental hygiene without feeling shamed when problems were discovered. For the first time ever, I don't think I'll feel anxious about my next dental appointment.

I come more often than most. I have to come every 4 months, instead of 6 months. I see the same hygienist each time and we have a great relationship. We take a few minutes to catch up from last time, as she prepares and before she starts. She is so personable. Very relaxing and comforting.

The personalized and caring attention I receive at Gentle Dentistry is better than any I have ever received. Stephanie is a fantastic and genuinely caring dentist. Carrie is the best hygienist ever, taking great care of me but gently holding me accountable. Everyone in the office treats me like family. I now go in every three months and I look forward to it. There is genuine concern for my comfort, they do their best to try and save me money, and they remember me when I walk in the door. I recommend them to everyone. They are phenomenal.

Super accommodating and helpful..From the beginning felt the staff and professionals were quality. Had tooth pain, and after discovering it was cracked, they arranged to have it pulled... the same day! Very cool.

Gentle Dentistry is AMAZING! It was my first experience back at a dentist in a long overdue time. This was the most thorough examination with the most advance X-ray technology I have ever witnessed. Their equipment for cleaning was lightyears ahead of what I'm used to and I have never left a dentist office feeling so informed about my own teeth than I did with Gentle Dentistry.
