    He and his staff were great. He explained everything very well and relieved much of my pain by filing down points on my tooth. He referred me to an endodontist for a follow up of my issue.

    Great first impression. Very informative and upfront about what needs to be addressed and no pressure tactics. He has a great staff that makes the whole dentist visit comfortable. Thank you.

    Molly & Anastasia were diligent and attentive with my dental care. Dr. Gentling's exam was comprehensive and he briefed me my treatment options as well as what he thinks are treatment priorities.

    The dental hygienist, Molly, was friendly, experienced, and super thorough in the cleaning. She and Dr. Gentling made sure to ask if I have any questions. They scheduled me for a follow up for a filling within a week. It was a positive experience overall.

    Excellent practice. The dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth was absolutely awesome, very understanding and accommodating. The rooms are very soothingly designed and well-spaced apart too. I interacted less with Dr. Gentling but he was great too.

    They got me in and were very friendly and willing to do whatever was needed to help. I did not have dental insurance and they made sure to let me know the cost ahead of service so that there were no surprises when time to check out. Both Dr. Gentling and his assistant Bobbie (?) were great!

    I have a very real Dentist phobia and I had not been in several years. My hygienist took all my concerns seriously and had the softest touch for my very sensitive mouth. I honestly am looking forward to my next cleaning and that’s something I never thought I would say!

    I needed to find a new dentist and was really impressed with the office and cleaning staff at Dr. Garrett Gentling's office. They took photos of my mouth after the cleaning (in addition to xraying it) so I could see problems for myself and not just listen to Dr. Gentling read the xrays. That was really great!

    Dr. Gentling and his staff were incredibly kind! The dental hygienist, Jeanette, was very gentle and understanding about my sensitive gums. She was also a skilled communicator and helped explain everything. I would highly recommend them.

    Dr. Garrett Gentling and his assistant Heidi were very friendly, professional and helpful. They truly cared about my dental health rather than getting their work done as quickly as possible. As a new patient, I spent a little too much time on paperwork before my teeth cleaning. Instead of giving a me faster cleaning treatment and rushing me out, they scheduled a second appointment for me with no additional charge and spent the entire first visit on educating me how to take better care of my teeth on my own.

    It had been a long time since I'd been to the dentist and the whole staff was super nice and not judgemental. They set up a plan of care and even have a new patient teeth whitening incentive.

    The receptionist Patty called me 3 days before my appointment to let me know there was an opening! When I came in that day she knew who I was and was so friendly! Heidi was amazing. She was so funny and sweet! I truly have never had an experience the way I did here. I highly recommend!
