Robert E Gatens, DDS

Going to the dentist was a pleasure at Dr. Gatens’ office. His staff is friendly and attentive — not that I had to wait long in the waiting area. The environment is clean and friendly down to the interesting pictures on the walls. I was surprised when I entered the cleaning area that Dr. Gatens was waiting for me. He did the xrays and the cleaning himself. He’s the first dentist I’ve had, other than my grandfather, who does the cleaning himself instead of having a hygienist do it. It was a much more personal experience and I felt like he got a good look at my teeth instead of the typical dentist who just pops in at the end of the appointment. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Honesltly, it was a pleasure.
