When I was younger, I wanted to go into something with the sciences, but I wasn’t really sure. My community had a dentist that I was a patient in their practice, and he loved his job. He loved everything about his work, so I spent a summer working in his practice, and I loved it.
I fell in love with it. His patients loved him, and he loved his patients, so it made me want to do dentistry, so that’s how I got here. So the most rewarding part for me in dentistry is patient care, so I love the opportunity to be able to help a patient to move through whatever fears or anxieties they have, and be happy about their smile at the end, the way their teeth look, and more importantly, the way they feel about the work that’s been done to them, that they’ve received ultimate care, and they feel as if this is a second home for them when it comes to taking care of their health, so that for me is the icing on the cake.

The tooth extraction went very well. The dentist provided a pain free experience. However when I called the week before and explained to the secretary it was an emergency, I had an abcessed tooth, had no medicine or antibiotic and could I speak to the dentist or get a call back, she did not pass on the message. I had to go to a walk in clinic and wait with the place filled with very sick people to get an antibiotic. My normally low blood pressure was 147 over whatever. The dentist said she would have called back. Other than that it is always a pleasant place.
N. N. (Verified Patient)
Very caring and supporting staff. The Dr. I saw was very thorough in explaining my tmj pain, and how we are going to treat it. She spent a lot of time with me on my first visit which doesn’t normally happen when I go to anyone else. I highly recommend their office.

I cannot recommend this dental office enough! From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how incredibly clean and well maintained the facility is. It immediately put me at ease. Every single member of the staff, from the receptionists to the hygienist and the dentists themselves, was exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely nice. They went above and beyond to make me feel valued. What truly sets this office apart is their commitment to clear communication. Every procedure was explained in detail, thoroughly addressing my questions and concerns. They are great with kids as well so I don’t have to worry about my kids being scared at the dentist office. If you’re looking for a dental practice that combines top notch professionalism, with a warm caring atmosphere, look no further! I recommend the office and specially Jen the hygienist 😃

Dr. Laurie was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She took her time doing a very thorough initial exam and explained why she was doing the exams she was doing. The staff was very helpful and friendly as I am a brand new patient coming from a previous dental practice that our family of 5 belonged to for 20 years. We will all be joining Guilford Hills Dental Care in the coming months.

I was not able to get to my appointment on Tuesday due to the snow. I called early in the morning to let your office know. I asked for a call back to reschedule, which I have not received. I would prefer an afternoon appointment with Jen. I have been seeing Jen for many years. I have to ask for all appointments in the afternoon, due to the Lasix I must take first thing in the morning, and I need to be in my own home near my bathroom. Thank you.
