This entire office is amazing! Thank you to Dr. Gauquie and Alexis for taking great care of my four year old grandson when he had an urgent issue. They were both compassionate and took their time to make him comfortable. I have been going to this office for over twenty years and have had nothing but great experiences.

Dr Gauquie is the best dentist ever. His presence put me at ease. He is kind and very sincere. Shout out to Heather, my hygienist, I feel she goes above and beyond to make sure I am comfortable.

The best around!! Bailey is an exceptional hygienist and Dr Harrell always has me feeling amazing when I leave. From the second you walk in the door to checkout, this practice makes you feel like you aren’t just another patient. I recommend Micheles and Gauquie (specifically Bailey and Dr Harrell!) to all of my friends and family!

Used to have the biggest fear of going to the dentist, but my hygienist makes my experience GREAT every time that I go. Malorie is the ABSOLUTE BEST and I'm so thankful to have found a hygienist that makes me feel so comfortable!! 10/10 recommend to anyone. (Actually have sent multiple friends and family members that way because of her).

You have just made a long-term customer out of me. lol I’m looking forward to my upcoming dental improvements to make my smile even better than it already is. Definitely a two thumbs up 👍🏽 dentistry. I would recommend Michael’s & Gauquie to all my friends and family.
