Dr. Locher and the Team at GFD have been my dental care providers for more than 10 years now. They are the absolute best; friendly, efficient and genuinely concerned about my mouth! In the entire time I've been going there I've never waited more than a few minutes to be called in. Definitely a five star dental care group and I would recommend them to anyone!

I went here for a filling that had fallen out. After my "consultation, he told me that I had 3 more cavities on the left side, and 4 on the right. Prior to this, I don't think I had 3 cavities in my entire life! Believing this dentist - why would he lie? On my next visit, I was to have one filling replaced on the left, plus he was going to fill two of the three "cavities" on the left side. I also had one old silver filling on the left side, that he was going to replace. I was scheduled to go back to have one cavity on the bottom left filled, then another appointment to take care of the right. I had excellent dental insurance - but at this point, I was out over $300 out of pocket - and still had 4 more cavities to go.

The first filling procedure did not go well - my bite was not right, I had constant tooth pain and terrible headaches. During the second filling procedure, he made my bite somewhat better, but still not great. After this, I decided to go to another dentist to have the right side of my mouth worked on. I asked for my x-rays to take with me, and they refused. They told me they would send the x-rays directly to the dentist when I gave them the name of the new dentist. This was about 3 years ago - I had no dental problems, so I did not go back - yes, I am terrible about going to the dentist, I admit it! I went to a new dentist, who took a full series of x-rays.

Surprise! NO cavities on the right side! When the new dentist showed me my x-rays, you could clearly see where he had just laid the dental material over my tooth (causing an irregular bite). He, in my opinion, is a thief - faking dental problems to fatten his wallet - and drain mine. Plus the pain (and anxiety) of going to the dentist.

Everyone there was extremely friendly. Any visit to a dentist proves to be at least somewhat stressful. Either the actual dental work or the financial aspect. They made every step easier with their friendly and easy demeanor. Thank you for helping me find my new dentist office. My wife will be scheduling an appointment soon.

I recently had my first root canal done by Dr. Locker and it was such a breeze. I was extremely nervous to say the least and he as well as his staff made the whole experience simple and pain free. They also work with you on different payment options suitable for everyone's budget.

I would recommend Gentle Family Dentistry to anyone. The fear and the anxiety that comes along with going to the dentist is not something you ever have to worry about there.
