Absolutely amazing dental office. I booked a new patient appointment but they were three weeks out. A few days after scheduling that appointment, my crown fell out. Sonya, my dental hygienist, happened to call me to remind me of my upcoming appointment and when I told her about my crown falling out she got me in the office within an hour (2 weeks ahead of my new patient appointment). I had bitewings, a panoramic, cleaning, exam, oral cancer screening, fluoride treatment and occlusal guard fitting in one hour at their office. The team wears ear pieces so they can communicate easily and everything moved so efficiently. I am very impressed with Gilder Creek and would highly recommend this practice.

People are very nice and do a great job, but I was disappointed that I was given an oral cancer exam and not told that I would have to pay for it out of pocket. Patients should be advised in advance so that they can opt out of treatments not covered by insurance.
