Gordon N Gates, DDS MSD

This is probably going to be one of the strangest reviews for Dr. Gates. Why? Well, in the 16 years I’ve been a patient, I hardly ever see him. Here’s my math:
2x per year x 5 minutes x 16 years — 25% he’s not there = 2 hours with Dr. Gates.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not complaining about this at all. I’m fortunate to have decent teeth. Dr. Gates comes in, pokes my teeth with this tool that I’m sure is going to go into my brain and then makes fun of dental floss, much to the hygienist’s dismay. Apparently, it’s also good for stitching backpacks when you’re hiking.
I’m impatient — I hate waiting and waiting at a Dr. office is just about the most painful thing I can think of — what, my time isn’t as valuable? I have similar math for my waiting here — if they’re not waiting for me when I walk in the door, it’s never more than about 2 minutes. I’ve never read a magazine article, although I have searched for some hidden pictures when they were still getting Highlights. I miss Highlights
