“Dr. Gary Michels and his wonderful staff have truly bright and my smile! Before Dr. Michels worked his magic, I was one of those who held her hand over her mouth when she laughed. I dreaded picture time and having someone say “smile”. I did my best to give a half-smile, annoying many photographers over the years. It was my private shame. I now have the straight, white teeth I always wanted.”

Joel C

“I have to tell you, I work hard. From the early mornings until the late evenings, I am committed to pleasing my customers. A little smile from them and a little smile from me let’s me know I accomplished my goal. For years it wasn’t that easy for me to smile because I was self-conscious of the appearance of my teeth. I heard about Dr. Michels and finally decided to visit him to improve my smile. He exceeded my expectations.”

Wally C

“Dr. Michels THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the great dental care you have given me. Since I started coming to see you 26 years ago, the dentistry you have provided for me has met all my needs from the inlays, the veneers, the caps, and even in one case where you engineered a special solution to solve my problem. I can’t forget the eight new caps on the front teeth and how much that improved my smile.”

Patty S

“My cousin persuaded me to go with her to see Dr. Gary Michels. He was wonderful! He provided an immediate temporary “fix” for my oldest son that hid all his teeth and enabled him to really smile for the first time. It was FANTASTIC and AFFORDABLE. Since then, Dr. Michels has restored all of my son’s upper teeth.”

Mike F

“Dr. Michels and Dr. Gauquie, thank you so much for my new smile. It is hard to imagine how much more often I find myself smiling. As a youngster, I was the goalie on both the soccer and hockey teams. Needless to say, the results were evident, whenever I smiled. Your work has made such a difference in my life. Thank you.”

Janet P

“As far back as I can remember, I have always wanted to have beautiful teeth. Now my wish has come true. Dr. Gary Michels made this possible. I have been a patient of his for over 20 years. He and his staff always make me feel at home and comfortable. This also makes me much more confident when I talk to people because now I have a beautiful smile.”

Shannon G

“Dr. Michels and his staff made a lifelong anxiety about my teeth disappear. Each person treated me like a family member. I experienced compassion, quality, and professionalism. The result, a smile I’m so proud of that I can’t stop grinning.”

Tom B

“Several years ago when I began seeing Dr. Michels, I had a mouth full of problems. Years of tobacco use wrecked havoc with my teeth. Today, I am as proud of my smile as ever. there are not enough superlatives to complement the dental care I have received. The most impressive is the warmth and friendliness that extends throughout his staff. His practice stands in sharp contrast to most offices where indifference and detachment are the order of the day. I have yet to leave their office without feeling good.”

Sandra B

“I thank you and your staff  for my new smile. I go around smiling so much people think I am up to mischief. Everyone was so good to me. The schedule was worked out with me having to travel. Dr. Michel even came out on a Saturday to save me an extra trip from South Carolina. I tell everyone where I got my new smile. Thank all of you for your patience and kindness. God bless you all.”

I’m a 75-year-old patient of theirs. I’ve been told by dentists that I apparently have poor oral genetics. Both my parents had full dentures in their early 30s. I also have not been the best at brushing and flossing but have always seen a dentist regularly throughout my life. So, I have had a lot of dental work, fillings, root canals, crowns, and implants. (More in the next chat due to character limit)

Dr. McGee has performed two root canals with crowns in the past year. Both of those were excellent work, and based on what I said above, I consider myself an expert (from a patient’s perspective). Today’s visit for a root canal was the most painless I have experienced. Their entire staff presents a professional and courteous environment for patients. I would highly recommend Michels & Gauquie.
I've waited almost a week to write this review because I didn't know how to begin it! Let's just say AMAZING! I had Dr. Chan assisted by Kayla. They were absolutely wonderful! They worked diligently as a team to assure that I was comfortable at all times during my visit! Oh and funnnny! They had me laughing the entire time! This really helped me take my mind off of the root canal I was having! Excellent duo! Thanks again fo all you do!! THE best dentistry around by far! I wish i could give more starts! They definitely deserve it!❤️
Everything !!! Very friendly !!! Most professional!!
From the reception desk to check out, my experience was exceptional. Malorie, my Dental Hygienist, and Dentist, Dr. Harrell were wonderful. I highly recommend them to everyone. Extremely professional service!
Going to the dentist here feels like you're going to the spa. They'll do everything to make you comfortable, from the massage chairs and tvs, to the beverages and sweet people. They actually listen to concerns and find solutions. We took a break from going, because our insurance wasn't accepted at one point. I missed them and was so happy when I found out our insurance was accepted again. Even my kids are looking forward to their appointments!
After 9 months of appointments, last week I received the first report of “no cavities” that I can ever remember. I am not a fan of going to the dentist but I am a big fan of Dr Gauquie, his patient staff, and sedation dentistry !
Overall, the hospitality is superb! They get you checked in and seen within 5-10 mins of arrival, appointments are not rushed, and the customer service is great! If I could give 10 stars I would.
My son chipped his tooth this past weekend having too much fun at the ECU-State game. He got in to be seen the same day that he called and felt so at home that he called me to tell me about it. Not to mention how impressed he was with the look of his new front tooth. He said that the hospitality of everyone that he encountered was top notch! Thank you so much to the entire staff for making my son’s first (on his own) “adult” experience an easy one.
As always, excellent service and friendly staff. Thanks for all the years of professionalism and really caring about your patients. Congratulations on your new office additions and getting to meet the youngest Dr. Michels today.
Alway 5 star treatment from start to finish
