I really wanted to try out Gilmer Family Dental. The front office staff was not very accommodating, however. One of their first questions was to inquire regarding dental insurance. I have a decent dental insurance plan through a major national company. The ignorant dental staff told me I could not use my dental insurance at their office, because my plan was only a "discount dental plan" and not actual dental insurance, and that Gilmer Family Dental could not accept it. They were completely wrong. Mind you, I pay my dental policy premium monthly, and have used it at other dental offices

I had a dental emergency and high anxiety about going to the dentist. Not a good combo! Dr. Puri and his staff were wonderful! They made the experience almost pleasant! More than anything I was so blessed by their kindness and compass. Thank you, Gilmer Family Dental!

I had a very difficult extraction today. I appreciate so much the kindness and gentleness that was shown. The dentist took her time and didn’t rush. I am so impressed with everyone I had contact with today. This will be my dentist for all future cleanings and procedures.

Had the best experience I’ve ever had with this dentist office today. Dr. Gesell is amazing and his staff, Kim Womack and Jayden, made me feel very comfortable. They were right there with everything I needed. No pain and a very pleasant experience.

I have been going to this dentist for many many years and through that time it has been sold to different people. The new staff is friendly and personable. The Dr was very attentive and kind to not only me as the patient, but also to the staff. A great place to get your dental work done!

I went in expecting to see Dr. Palmer only to find out that he was not there anymore and there was a Dr. Geselle there now. To say my anxiety went through the roof is an understatement. I literally cried the whole time. Through my breakdown I have NEVER had a better experience! Dr. Geselle and his assistant Kassie (if I spelled your name wrong I am… SO sorry) were so comforting and patient. Jamie the office manager literally held my hands to help my anxiety! When I tell you my dental anxiety is off the charts I mean it, BUT the staff at GFD helped me so much! On a scale of 1-10 they deserve
