With recent ownership changes, it is certainly easy to feel uneasy. However, I went to Gilford Dental yesterday to have dental work done and had the absolute BEST experience I have ever had. I wouldn’t say I am a patient that comes knocking on the doors for dental work, in-fact it was quite the opposite, until today. The great experience all started by seeing the friendly faces of Lori and Kelsey at the front desk, always greeting with a smile and ensuring all my questions are answered. It didn’t stop there either, Dr Marc DeLorenzo and his lovely assistant Steph continued with the same kind smiles and both made me feel as though I was hanging out with long time trusted friends (I was kind of sad when my appointment ended!). Dr Marc and Steph are genuinely kind and very knowledgeable and proud to be in the field and it certainly shows through and through. I recommend going to meet the wonderful staff at Gilford Dental and encourage you to take the next step to bettering your oral health! 10/10 :)
