Dr woods has been taking care of my dental needs for sometime, and I have had fillings, crowns and implants performed by Dr woods. Dr woods is the consummate professional and has always made me feel I was in great hands. Dr woods always shows me compassion when I was nervous and reassures me. I absolutely highly recommend Dr woods to anyone looking for a caring highly professional dentist. To add to my review Dr woods has the very latest in dental equipment and procedures….he is a great guy as well

This is a wonderful practice! Dental hygienists Gina and Megan have been fabulous. I always learn something new to enhance my dental care. A scheduling error was resolved swiftly. I highly recommend Gateway Dental!

First time at this practice. The facility was extremely clean, the staff and practitioners were exceptionaly nice, professional and thourogh. I was treated by Doctor Wood. Having had some fairly serious dental issues in the past I did not know what to expect. It was the best experience I have had in a dental facility. The situation was very well explained, treated better than I would ever have known, and I left feeling that I had an extremely knowlegable and compassionate ally in my healthcare. The whole staff treated me like family. It was a pleasure to have them perform their expert services for me. Special kudos to Doctor Wood.

Dr. Wood and his staff are welcoming and professional. My family and I feel comfortable with getting all our dental needs taken care of here. Megan has cleaned my teeth several times and always does a great job! The staff learn your name, are always smiling, and take the time to answer your questions.

I've been with Dr Palencoe for 15 years and she is outstanding. Her work is always gently and beautifully done. Her small hands are another perk. Gina, one of the hygienists is also wonderful. I wouldn't go to any other dentist.
