What a blessing. After our dentist of 35 years retired we were directed to Dr. Gilge. I could not be more happier! There is a Spirit in that place. Very pleased with my first visit. If you're looking for a dentist you could do worse. But in my opinion you could not do better.

I had a lot of significant work done by Dr. GILGE and his capable staff. My experience could not have been better! He offered solutions to some ongoing dental challenges I've had because of my very dry mouth. His office staff was warm and welcoming and I was amazed at how quickly the work was completed. I am grateful for his professional expertise and commitment to his patients.

I had an awesome experience here today. At first I was a little uneasy because I'd been with my previous dentist several years. But everyone there was cheerful friendly made me feel really comfortable. I would highly recommend everybody go there. They are very attentive to your needs and listen to your concerns. Wonderful people.

As a physician, I know what it takes to run a professional, caring practice. That is what you find at Solutions Dental. Dr. Gilge is quite a competent dentist with a staff that cares about you from the moment you walk in until when you leave. I have found my dental home for life!

The staff was so friendly. This was my first time having my teeth cleaned and Kelly was amazing. She was not judgemental at all and gave me some great tips to do for future care. Thank you foe also giving back to the community by combatting human trafficking.

This is actually the first time I've had such a great experience at a dental appointment. Everyone was very kind and helpful and I left out of there more secure knowing I came to the right dentist to take care of my dental needs and do it all at an affordable price.

Kevin, Kelly and Candy are great. They are professionals and my teeth have never been cleaner or healthier. I've been to Dental Solutions twice and both times the experience has been fantastic. That's saying something about a visit to the dentist.
