Dr Tempel is such a find in our small south central town of Gettysburg. I have been battling an issue for just short of a year. After a consultation with Dr. Tempel, I felt comfortable that she had identified the problem.
I have had a root canal and am working towards some cosmetic work. She is all I could wish for. Her confidence gives comfort to fears. One hour in and out for the work.

Always thorough and professional. I’ve had a lot of dental work done here that I put off for years with other dentists. She was patient with me over the years and I ultimately had ALL the postponed work done because of the high level of care I’ve received. All the procedures were almost non events because of Dr. Temple and her well qualified staff. Their skills and abilities made the procedure very comfortable and easy. If you’re looking for a dentist or want to make a change, look no further than Dr. Temple and her outstanding practice.

Dr. Temple, and her entire staff, are the most thorough team that I have ever encountered in almost 70 yrs of my dental care. Every new Dental School, Dental Assistant, and Hygienist graduate should do an Internship with these exceptional professionals. The support staff also facilitates a smooth and easy appointment. Excellent experience.

I was with my dentist since I was 5 years old until last year when he retired. Unfortunately, his office does not have the same ethics and loyalty as he did so I had to find a new Dentist that was top notch and cared about their patients. Luckily I was referred to Dr. Temple at Gettysburg Smiles. They were able to get me in and fix two teeth that needed some attention. I am very pleased with the staff and Dr. Temple. I look forward to my next visit. Thanks again Dr. Temple for getting me in!

I have seen Dr. Tempel and her excellent staff many times over the years and have the utmost confidence not only in her skills, but now the extraordinary steps she and her staff are taking to keep their patients safe during this pandemic. I've seen them firsthand today and was very impressed with all the measures they have taken to keep everyone as safe as possible. I have a challenging dental plan mapped out and I wouldn't consider going anyplace else. I actually look forward to seeing the dentist when I come here. Lol!

Dr. Temple and her assistant Kandice dealt with my sister’s dental work with professionalism, humor, and love. They genuinely care for the well-being of their patients. They know how to do their jobs with efficiency and care, always looking out for their patients. My sister was worried going in, scared of needles, but they numbed her with ease helping her feel safe and secure during her procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Temple’s office for dental work. All thumbs up!!!
