After graduation from the Endodontic Residency Program, Dr. Gutt assumed the positions of staff endodontist and instructor at Naval Dental Center, Parris Island, South Carolina.
A native to Michigan, Dr. Gutt was anxious to return home and decided to pursue a career in private practice.

Dr. MacDonald went on to achieve a certificate in endodontics and masters degree from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Dr. MacDonald, his wife Eva, and their two young children enjoy spending time together on the water in the summer and the slopes in the winter. With all of the amenities and outdoor lifestyle northern Michigan has to offer, as well as the exceptional work ethic and patient care provided by the office of Paul E Gutt Endodontics, they couldnt be happier to become part of the team.
Dr. MacDonald is currently a member of the American Dental Association, Michigan Dental Association, American Association of Endodontists and the Michigan Association of Endodontists. He also plans to become an active member of the Vacationland Dental Society and participate in lectures among his peers in the dental community.
Dr. Gutt has certainly mastered his craft. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with him & his assistant Melanie. He & his staff are fantastic at what they do & we are very fortunate to have them available to us in our community. Thank you so much for taking such good care of me. Youre the best!!

Dr. Gutt was fantastic. I was nervous and didn't know exactly what to expect but he did a great job of explaining the process to me and checked on me throughout the procedure to make sure I was okay and didn't feel any pain. He was patient with me and my fear of needles and took his time to do things right. He was very personable and was joking around with me before and after the root canal. I would recommend him to anybody that needs work done!

My first impression of the office was how beautiful it is. A nice surrounding means a lot to me as I become very anxious at any Dental Office. His staff was friendly and he was fun to talk with as he filled out my profile. He wanted to know about me as an individual and was not trying to rush me through. This is the first time I have fallen asleep while in the chair having a root canal. Usually I am stressed and gripping the chair however, I was calm because it was pain free! ( I did not have them administer gas.) I would recommend Dr. Gutt and his kind staff to anyone!

I too am afraid of the pain when going to a dentist. Dr. Gutt assured me it would be painless. He was right. The root canal was completed and I walked out a very satisfied patient.

Well, lets just start at the beginning....when I called to set up the appointment for my root canal I informed the receptionist that I had high anxiety with any dental procedure, and I didn't numb well, she stated that it would be like a party here, and nothing to worry..... In the meantime, since it took so long to get in to have my root canal, I was put on antibiotic, I finished my dose and then the pain came back, so I called Dr. Glutt's office and told them that I was in pain again and they told me to call my Dentist to prescribe me another antibiotic till I could have the procedure done. In the intern, I developed a horrible rash all over my body and swelling of my hands and went to the ER, they determined that I was allergic to the antibiotic, so they gave me a shot of steroids and changed my antibiotic. I developed another rash from the new antibiotic, so discontinued use as procedure was 4 days away. I really don't know if I can relive the experience I had at that place, but after two and half hours in the chair, my body shaking confusedly , pain excruciating, tears running down my face, blood pressure 165 over 102, I was told that after I thought I had made it thru, that he was unable to finish the root canal because the crack in my tooth ran deep and my bone was too inflamed, and I moved around too much.......I was devastated, Sorry but it was a horrible experience that I went thru, I felt a lot pain that I didn't need to and I should have been given a sedative and now Dr. Glutt said that the best procedure is to have the tooth pulled, and put in an implant......won't be here.....
