Patient Testimonials

R.J. "There are no words that come even close to the "thank you's" I want to express, forever and ever, for the miracles Dr. Gouldin and his staff perform so very kindly every day.

At age 76, I was in deep dental trouble and Dr. Gouldin saw me on an emergency basis. His staff welcomed me with their gracious, unhurried manner. The visible results are awesome -- new teeth customized and secured with such precision that they look and feel absolutely real. The visible results are so tremendous because Dr. Gouldin, collaborating with Dr. Sullivan, and the medical professionals who work with them, are caring, uplifting, and encouraging. They take such a quiet command of your care that the restorative, healing process begins immediately and includes a beautiful set of provisional teeth while the implant work is proceeding.

I recommend this transforming experience to anyone. If you are young, you have a lifetime to benefit from this everlasting investment. If you are 78 (like me), you will gain a confident smile to go with your white hair and wrinkles, and age gracefully. I travel from out of state to see these doctors, and every visit is a celebration." View this patient's before and after photos on the Immediate Restoration of Dental Implants page.

J.G.: I, like many people, am fearful of dental treatment, and therefore neglected the care of my teeth and gums for many years. I finally got up the nerve, despite the embarrassment, to go see Dr. Gouldin, who had been highly recommended by a family friend. He, and his entire staff, have been just wonderful since that first visit. He advised me of the options to correct years of neglect and didn't try to sugarcoat how difficult and time consuming the option that I chose for restoration would be. I could not be more pleased with the results of his work. Dr. Gouldin's attention to detail, his obvious caring attitude, and his superior skills have corrected years of neglect and truly changed my life. I will be forever grateful to him and would highly recommend him and his staff to anyone who needs help. One of the best decisions of my life was to put my dental care in his very skilled hands.

B.A.: I have had three separate gum grafts done at Dr. Gouldin's office. Each time I experienced a very professional, clean, and caring environment. The procedures were done in an efficient yet relaxed and caring manner. I really appreciated the clear and concise pre/post procedure directions provided. Also Dr. Gouldin was available for questions and concerns. My concerns were addressed according to my individual circumstances and needs. I am grateful to have a periodontal practice that I have confidence and trust in. View this patient's before and after photos on the Soft Tissue Grafting page.

M.J.: "Thanks to Dr. Gouldin for perfecting my smile - I'm not shy to show it off anymore!" View this patient's before and after photos on the Esthetic Crown Lengthening page.

M.B.: "The esthetic crown lengthening surgery was both physically and emotionally transformative. Within a week I had a smile I had always dreamed of, and today I am far more confident about my appearance. Thank you, Dr. Gouldin, for exceeding all of my expectations!"

S.G.: "I was referred to Dr. Gouldin by my primary dentist, Dr. Rena Vakay, and having been spoiled by Dr. Vakay, I worried about a referral measuring up to her standards. I am pleased to write this testimonial because Dr. Gouldin's office far exceeded my expectations. The one thing I worry about with doctor's offices is finding a great doctor, but then dealing with a lousy, impatient, abrupt staff. Not only are Dr. Gouldin's staff members competent, they show a personal touch to each patient, so that when you leave, (from day one), you feel you are leaving friends. Irrespective of how many times you ask questions about your procedure to any staff member and even Dr. Gouldin, no one rolls their eyes, no one rushes you, there is NO ambiguity, everyone is patient and makes sure all questions are answered in a language you understand. Not all of that medical nonsense lingo. I would highly, highly, highly recommend this practice. My experience at this practice was wonderful. Everyone had impeccable manners here! The follow up service after the procedure was also SECOND TO NONE! Everyone was very respesctful of my time and my initial anxiety. When you have your appointments, they don't keep you waiting unnecessarily. I love this group!" View this patient's before and after photos on the Esthetic Crown Lengthening page.
