Dr. Gifford's interest in dentistry started at a very early age, allowing her to be accepted as a high school senior into a combined degree program starting at Le Moyne College and continuing at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Following graduation, she completed a general practice residency at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, NY.
The common phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is true, but only up to a point. While fashions and fads of beauty certainly come and go, it has been scientifically proven that people have always perceived shining, white teeth to be an enduring sign of both beauty and friendliness.

This is because of the conception that those with white teeth are responsible in caring for their health, and thus somehow more likely to be trustworthy and genuine towards us as well.Of course, we know that true beauty is found in the heart, but it certainly does not hurt to have a brilliant smile either.

The only thing that stinks is you pay up front for services, it is then submitted to your insurance and you get reimbursed for whatever your insurance covers. The staff and Michelle are very nice and make going to the dentist less stressful! Would 100% recommend going!

So glad I found these folks! They are thorough, professional, friendly, helpful — heck, they even opened on a Sunday when I had an emergency. Great dentist in Dr. Gifford and a wonderful staff. There's a reason they get so many five-star reviews.

I have been a client of Dr. Michelle Gifford for several years and have always had excellent service. The hygienists are friendly and make you feel comfortable while they do their work. I highly recommend them.

Dr Gifford and the entire staff are patient centered...our comfort and our health. They are efficient, effective, kind and compassionate and very skilled at keeping us in good dental health. They all know their patients and their needs as individuals. I have NEVER been as comfortable or as well cared for at any other practice. I would rate ten stars if I could!

We have been going here since she started in Bainbridge many years ago. The hygienist here are all excellent. I trust them with children. Friendly staff and very accommodating. We have insurance and could go almost anywhere but we are very happy here. We do recommend this office to our friends.

I felt like they really cared that I was actually in pain. They tried to help me all they could but there was no hope for what I had and they referred me to someone who could help me. Its hard to find service like that anymore. I didn't have a dentist since dr. Bornstein retired. Now they are my dentist.

I like that I get in and out without having to wait a long time. She has state of the art equipment and although it's a little pricey, I do like the care I get. I will miss Jan, my Dental Hygentist. She is retiring, and I will miss her. Hope she has a great retirement. I don't like the fact that I have to pay up front when I have dental insurance. She is a good Dentist and knows her stuff.
