Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain things as they go.
Positive experience: The nicest and most intentional dentist office I have ever gone to hands down. I was late to an appointment and they helped me reschedule no problem and were really considerate. Christian was the technician that helped me with my clean up and she was concise, careful, and super friendly. Thank you Gooch dental!!! The second time I went I feel like the service went down significantly.
Fantastic experience: I called Monday morning for an appointment as a new patient. They scheduled me at 10am I had 2 broken crowns and by 2 pm the same day my crowns were replaced! I am very pleased. Dr Gooch and all of his staff were fantastic. I highly recommend Gooch Family Dentistry.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad we could get you in quickly and take care of your crowns the same day. Dr. Gooch and our team truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. We look forward to continuing to care for your smile!

Fantastic experience: took me in short notice very through and very professional over the top service and attention even a gift
We’re so glad we could take care of you on short notice! Thank you for your kind words — we’re happy you felt well cared for and appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Awesome, awesome, AWESOME!!! Robin Thicke (I mean Dr. Gooch) was amazing!! From the receptionist staff, to the hygienists, to his dental assistant, everyone was a joy to be around! I don’t know any other dentist office staff that’s extremely this kind!! After my 6 month cleaning, and after going over some procedures that I needed to get done, I asked was there time to do now…….Dr. Gooch wasted no time and said, “Yes girl we got you over here!!” (Not his words verbatim! Lol) I was able to express that I had a hair appointment, and Dr. Gooch wasted no time and had me done in literally 15 minutes when usually this procedure typically takes longer!! Best dentist hands down!!! AAAND I made it to my other appointment in perfect time with minimal speeding! Lol. GO HERE!! But not too much, I don’t need him too booked that I can’t come back!!
Wow — thank you for such an amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear Dr. Gooch and our team made your visit enjoyable, efficient, and right on time for your next appointment. Your kind words mean so much to us, and we’re grateful to have you as part of our dental family!
Fantastic experience: Ariana is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, gentle, and makes you feel completely at ease the entire time. She’s also incredibly knowledgeable.
Emily, thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad Ariana helped make your visit comfortable and positive. We’re lucky to have her on our team, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Great job. Dr. Gooch and his staff are very friendly and professional. Dr. Gooch has been my family Dentist for 16 plus years. I wouldn’t trust anyone else and I have been “chewing” for 79 years. Paul Roche
Thank you Paul for your wonderful review and for trusting Dr. Gooch and our team for so many years! We’re honored to be your dental home and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us — here’s to many more years of healthy smiles!
Negative experience: 2025 update. The original dentist was out when I had to get my crown fixed. The new female dentist used my anxiety against me to upsell getting additional "cavities" filled that weren't necessary, a retainer I don't use, and my mouth hurt for months after the new crown. I took it to another dentist to fix after coming back to try and get the original dentist to fix it. All in all I'd rather get the tooth pulled somewhere else than come back and have her do another crown. TLDR: I had a minor panic attack over a cavity, they handled it really well. Went in today, got a cavity filled and for whatever reason the stress of having a cavity filled on top of 2020 stress just pushed me over the edge. My mind had me convinced that my tongue was about to get torn up. Had them pull everything out, told them my concern, took a couple deep breaths and got back to it. Dr. Andrew's and the woman assisting him didn't make me feel awkward about it and were incredibly friendly the entire time. If you have high anxiety over going to the dentist this is the place for you.
Emily, thank you so much for the amazing review! We really appreciate your kind words and are so glad that we could make your experience a great one! We cannot wait to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: From initial contact to my exit I was impressed how cordial and professional personnel were at Gooch’s. They were very pleasant and helpful. My technician was very sweet and knowledgeable and personable. The doctor was exactly how I feel doctors need to be. He was professional in that he took time to make sure you understood what he was explaining. He was not patronizing. He did a good job explaining options and I didn’t feel like he was trying to sell something. I appreciated his approach. My technician even walked me to the parking lot when the visit was over. It was an enjoyable visit to have been a visit to the dentist.
Wow, thank you so much for this review, Randall! There is no higher compliment, in our opinion, than being compared to Publix or Chick-fil-a. We really appreciate you spreading the word about your experience!
Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience with Gooch Dental; the staff is so personable. All of my questions, and I had a lot and more to come were answered giving options— love having options, both for my teeth issues and current financial circumstances — for a variety of scenarios. I love how responses are tailored to what’s found out with the surveys about ME. I love the gift bags and healthy snack options with little bottles of water that were available. Keep up the good work.
Tanya, thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear your first visit was a great one. Our team works hard to provide personalized care and flexible options, and it’s great to know you felt that. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I have used this facility for my dental needs since relocating to the area a couple of years ago. If you need an emergency appointment, they have always been accommodating to try to get me in quickly. Dr Wood is great and thorough and explains everything, so you understand. Dental Hygienist Christian Stone is thorough and gentle for those that have anxiety about procedures and sounds. I have gag reflex, and everyone has always keyed in on my discomforts and anxieties regarding that and considered my comfort even though sometimes it makes procedures a bit harder and longer to perform which is GREAT!! I have paid for a couple of procedures that I was told that insurance would not cover but when the insurance did pay for them after being billed, I was refunded the cost to me. I would highly recommend this office for all your families dental needs. The entire staff here has always been kind and considerate from the moment you are greeted to the moment you leave with a new brighter smile!!
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued trust in our team! We’re glad Dr. Wood and Christian have made your visits comfortable and thorough. Your recommendation means so much to us—we’re grateful to care for you and your family’s smiles!
Fantastic experience: My 6 month appointment went well The dental assistant explained everything that she was doing. She was very pleasant while.ckeaning my teeth. Dr Wood checked.me out for mouth cancer and reviewed my X-rays Dr Wood is a very good Dr.
Frank, thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear your visit went smoothly and that our team made you feel comfortable and informed throughout your appointment. We appreciate your trust in Dr. Wood and the rest of our team—see you at your next visit!
Positive experience: This was a much better experience than my first one. Chastity was very good and thorough with my teeth cleaning. She was gentle and ensured that I was comfortable throughout the whole process.
Laurie, We’re so glad to hear this visit was a better experience for you! Chastity is truly wonderful, and we’re happy she made you feel comfortable and well cared for. Thank you for sharing—we look forward to continuing to provide great care at every visit!
Fantastic experience: First visit as new patient. Very professional and friendly. Use of technology seemed to aid in a thorough exam. Like the way they present the plan to move forward with my dental needs. Very organized and methodical.
Traci, thank you for the kind words! We’re glad your first visit was a great one and that our team made everything clear and comfortable. We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Susan and Savannah were very welcoming and informative about becoming a new patient and got me scheduled and taken care of. They have such a great atmosphere, great energy, and they’re very friendly. 10/10 highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Wood is the BEST! All of the team at Gooch have been great. Deanna did my cleaning and maintenance today and she did a great job. I’m always stressed about going to the dentist. This practice has made the experience so much better for me.
We are so glad to hear that our team helped you enjoy going to the dentist again. It should always be a pleasant experience. We look forward to caring for you in the future!
Fantastic experience: helpful when you need an appointment. Staff pleasant & professional

That is so great to hear, Charles! Thank you for taking the time to write this review.
Fantastic experience: I had an extraction and bone graft in preparation of an implant today -with zero pain or anxiety. Dr. Wathen is amazing! And the whole Gooch staff is very friendly and welcoming!
We are so glad we were able to complete your treatment in a calming and pleasant atmosphere LeeAnne! Thanks for choosing us!
Fantastic experience: Dr Duncan and all the staff at Gooch are excellent. I got a tooth extracted and Dr Duncan called me personally the next day to check in! They have such compassion and really care about their patients.
Thank you for your review, Alyssa!
Fantastic experience: Gooch Dental is a great place to go for dental work. The staff are accommodating and caring. Dr. Taylor Duncan was friendly, interested in my needs, explained the entire procedure and went out of his way to make sure I felt no pain. Thanks to Dr Duncan and his sweet staff, my visit to the dentist was enjoyable.
We are thrilled your visit was so enjoyable, Pam! Dr Duncan is so wonderful with patients, as are all of our team members!
Fantastic experience: Today,7/17/25, Dr Gooch, fixed two of my cracked upper molars on same side with crowns. Start to finish in one appointment. Amazing and quick process. Appointment was at 12:30 pm and I was walking out of office around 2;45. Love Dr Gooch and his staff…. Highly recommend them !!!

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to try a new dentist after moving, but I sure wish I would’ve gone to Gooch Family Dental sooner! Every single staff member I met was so friendly and welcoming. Faith made me feel so comfortable & was so informative during the whole visit!
We’re so glad you found us after your move! Thank you for sharing your experience — it’s wonderful to hear that Faith and our team made you feel comfortable and welcome. We’re excited to be your new dental home!
Fantastic experience: Jenny Fonseca was the best! Love this dental experience!
Stacy, we’re so glad you had a great experience with Jenny and our team! Thank you for your kind words — we look forward to seeing you next time!
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I think I’ve ever had! I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years so I was very nervous. I couldn’t have picked a better place to come - they were gentle, kind and informative. A very professional but also relaxed environment.
Fantastic experience: The service here is great. As a state employee with BCBS dental, affordability is everything to me. I came here after my dentist retired, and I was nervous because the office and clinical settings are very modern, bright, clean, and elite. However, the pricing for regular maintenance is just what I need. They have many services available if you’re looking to enhance your dental health above average, but they THANKfully work fine as my general maintenance dentist. Dr. Wood is very professional and knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: I always have exceptional service at Gooch Family Dental! Dr. Gooch is awesome and has been my dentist for nineteen years. I can't imagine going anywhere else. My dental hygienist was sweet and professional! Always a great experience - I recommend others to consider giving this practice a try!♥️
Thank you so much for your loyalty to us, Michelle! We know there are so many dental offices in Birmingham to choose from, so we are honored to care for you!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough positive things about Gooch. My daughter dealt with dental trauma for years and finally understood that she had to visit a dentist. Not only did the entire staff make us feel welcome, they made us feel comfortable. I made an appointment for myself and my husband also plans to do so. Excellent. Absolutely excellent!!!!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Gooch has done an excellent job! Kylie and the other staff have been great. Couldn’t be happier with the results.
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so kind and polite I felt like I was with my family at home not a dental office . So thank you all for a great service with lots of smiles
Fantastic experience: My husband had a good experience at Gooch Dental. They are always very clear about his issue and what to do about it. The procedure was as comfortable as possible and he came out with a new tooth.
Fantastic experience: These guys are so professional, personable and very thorough. Although I did not know that my first appointment was going to be so detailed but it was extremely informative. They are detailed about taking care of your teeth and gums as a whole. Never had that before.. You will love them.
Fantastic experience: I had a great visit as usual. Chasity is an amazing hygienist that makes sure I’m comfortable while being very thorough. I highly recommend her and Dr. Duncan.
Fantastic experience: Incredible patient experience. Was warmly greeted and offered a beverage/snack, asked how I preferred to be communicated with and what my values were as a patient. From start to finish, this was a 10/10 visit. Too recommendations for sure!
Fantastic experience: Everyone is very professional and nice from the minute you step inside the office until you have any procedures performed and leave!!!
Fantastic experience: Took time to find the problem. Didn’t jump at the most costly solution but really took time to find the cause of my pain! Assistant cared as did the dentist. State of the art facility where everything was taken care of from start to finish.
Fantastic experience: I chose Gooch as a first time patient looking for a new location, as I haven't been to the dentist in years due to severe anxiety of the dentist. I chose them because of the great reviews I read online and some referrals from local Facebook group. I am SO happy that I chose them! I had a wonderful experience from the minute I walked in the door. Savannah greeted me and was so sweet. My hygienist, Lisa, was so patient and gentle and explained things so well. Dr. Langford was the sweetest as well. They set me up for a future deep cleaning and Emily Grace was amazing at going over insurance, payments and scheduling. I am 100% confident that Gooch will be a great fit for me and I felt so much less anxious than I thought I would!
Fantastic experience: Everyone was so kind and helpful, they explained everything to me in a way that truly made sense, and went over everything in detail, but not in an overwhelming way. They even offered me a blanket in the exam room. Wonderful experience!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wood and her team—especially Katie, the dental hygienist. As someone with significant dental anxiety, I’ve always dreaded dental visits, but this experience was entirely different. From the moment I walked in, the office staff was warm and welcoming, and that sense of comfort carried throughout the entire visit. I came in seeking a second opinion about some recommended dental work, and I left feeling truly cared for and confident in the path forward. Dr. Wood and Katie were incredibly kind, gentle, and patient. They took their time explaining everything, checked in often to make sure I was comfortable, and never made me feel rushed or dismissed. Their compassion, professionalism, and commitment to making patients feel safe and respected were exactly what I had been looking for in a dental practice. It’s a long drive for me to get there, but it is absolutely worth it. I’m so grateful to have found this team. They’ve turned something I once dreaded into a much more manageable and even positive experience. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I’ve ever had!! Danna, the hygienist, was amazing and I highly recommend going to them.
Negative experience: Very limited cancellation flexibility, failed to properly re-schedule appointment at desired time, constantly up-selling. The mega-church of dentists.
Fantastic experience: My total experience at Gooch Family Dental was totally excellent. I was greeted promptly and warmly, informed my registration was complete and taken back to meet the hygienist who would perform my checkup. Donna Lee was pleasant, charming, professional and made sure I was comfortable and understood what she was doing. Dr. Wood came in to review the results of Donna Lee's findings and made recommendations for my continuing care. The applicable billing for forthcoming visits was fully explained before I left. It was as good a dental experience as I have ever had, if not the best. Looking forward to a long-term association with Gooch Family Dental. 01/15/25 My ongoing experiences with Gooch Family Dental has done nothing but reinforce my initial impression with this facility and the professionals who work there. Dr. Wood is kind, caring and compassionate and maintains a sunny, pleasing disposition that is not often observed in health care professionals. Both my wife and I could not be more pleased with the dental service and care we receive here.
Wow, Caleb... TWO incredible reviews. Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience with others. We are thrilled you found each aspect of our office so pleasant and stress-free. We hope to always exceed your expectations.
Fantastic experience: I suffer from severe anxiety. This place had me 100% at ease and I don’t take the dentist lightly! From the scheduling the appointment to the walk out after being seen! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gooch Family Dental!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lanford was the ABSOLUTE best. Took so much time with me, so kind and patient and worked me in on a busy day. So thankful
Fantastic experience: Shout out to an awesome job by Dr. Gray! Also Lindsey was my hygienist today and she was so great! If you are looking for a great dentist to take good care, extra time and really is intentional about making sure you have the best treatment, Look no further! I am confident you will love this place!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lanford, Kylie, & Dr. Gooch went above and beyond to create a plan for me under a time crunch. They are very professional and you can tell they truly care about their patients. The team was extremely detail oriented and able to answer all questions I had about my dental plan/ treatment. We are new to the Birmingham area and they have earned our family’s business going forward. Best dental experience I have had hands down. Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Staff is very warm, friendly and helpful. Great customer experience.
Fantastic experience: I had a great overall experience. I contacted the office with an emergency request and they were considerate and accommodating. The appointment with Dr. Wood was equally positive. Great professionalism and personal approach
Fantastic experience: Dr. Duncan is so patient and a wonderful dentist. Totally trust him. Liz is absolutely the sweetest too!
Fantastic experience: 5 stars I had a great experience at Gooch Family Dental. The staff was professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. They explained everything clearly and didn’t rush through my visit. The office is clean and well-organized, and you can tell they care about their patients. Definitely one of the best dental experiences I’ve had—highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality care and a team that actually listens.
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience for me.. The Hospitality was awesome. They made me feel welcome from the time I entered the door.. I had the sweetest hygienist. She was very knowledgeable of her job and explained everything in detail. I will definitely refer others . I'm very nervous when attempting the dentist but today I felt calm and relaxed. Praying God's blessings upon the Doctors and staff.
Fantastic experience: I just had my first visit and it was the best dentist experience I have ever had. They have a $200 off whitening this month and I am thinking about doing it!
Fantastic experience: The staff and environment are first class at Dr. Gooch! The best experience I’ve had from the front desk until I was finished!
Fantastic experience: This place was very welcoming. From the front desk to my Dentist and Assistant. Definitely recommend this Dentistry. Dr. Langford and Bri made sure that I felt comfortable and explained everything to me. Glad I was referred to this establishment.
Fantastic experience: I’ve never had a bad experience here! The dentists and dental assistants are always so so sweet!
Fantastic experience: My appointment was great. Jameria is awesome!!! I'm so glad I found their dentist office.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere. My hygienist was awesome and very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: The best dental experience I’ve had. Staff were so friendly, clearly laid out options and prices before starting work, and were very kind. After the appointment, I moved my entire family to the practice. Try them, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Negative experience: My husband went in the fall, we are new to the area so he tried it. The overzealous hygienists thought it would be a great idea to do a deep cleaning on a first time patient who is 66 yrs old. We only moved here, had a great dentist and hygienists that we visited regularly for scheduled cleaning at our old residence. My husband has had nothing but JAW PAIN ever since!!!! His Jaw actually pops now. Please teach your hygienists well, this is what deters people from your business, don't let the goodie bag and chairs fool you
Fantastic experience: Had a super awesome cleaning with dental hygienist Chasity. I will return for more cleanings with her.
Fantastic experience: Everything about Gooch Family Dental is nothing short of amazing. They treat you like family as soon as you walk through the door. Thanks New Family!!
Negative experience: Refused service due to a very low balance I wasn’t even aware of, I had major health issues at the time and was also still being financially supported by my parents at the time. Just felt like more could’ve been done to work with me like Over the Mountain Dentistry did. Asked if they would ever see me again and they said no.
Fantastic experience: If I could give 10 ⭐️s — I would! If you’re looking for a dentist — don’t walk, RUN to Gooch Family Dental! I’ve always been terrified of the dentist, but one visit to this incredible practice completely changed my outlook. Dr. Wathen and the entire team made me feel more comfortable and cared for than I ever thought possible. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with true Southern charm by Abby at the front desk. I was taken straight back where Kylie Rae and Alivia walked me through every step, keeping me informed and completely at ease. Helena, Sam, and Emily Grace in financials each brought their own authentic warmth and spark, making the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. This team feels more like a family — and they instantly made me feel like part of it. Not once did I feel nervous (a complete 180 from my past dental visits). I was so relaxed, I literally fell asleep during a root canal — if that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does! Dr. Wathen is the epitome of excellence: kind, gentle, and incredibly thorough. And the little touches? They matter! They even gave me a goody bag and a blanket for extra comfort, which made me feel even more at home. I never thought I’d say this, but I’m genuinely excited for my next visit. Gooch Family Dental has completely redefined what going to the dentist means for me. Once you experience their care, you’ll understand — they don’t just go above and beyond, they set the standard.
Fantastic experience: Our family has been visiting Dr. Lanford at Gooch Family Dental since the Fall of 2024, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the care we’ve received. From routine cleanings to more specialized treatments, my spouse, children, and I have all had a variety of services, and each visit has been nothing short of exceptional. The customer service is impeccable—every member of the staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive to even the smallest details. The luxurious atmosphere only adds to the experience, making every appointment feel less like a chore and more like a treat. Dr. Lanford is truly a remarkable professional. Her caring demeanor and thorough approach instantly put patients at ease. She takes the time to explain procedures, address concerns, and ensure you feel completely comfortable throughout your visit. We are so grateful to have found a dentistry practice that values excellence, comfort, and patient care as much as this one does. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Gooch Family Dental more highly. They are epitome of a patient oriented group. Everyone is kind and considerate; they put patient comfort first!
Fantastic experience: Very advanced dentist office. The heated massage chairs is 100% worth their business. Dr. Duncan was very nice and my hygienist did an amazing job and was also very friendly. Abby also took great care of me welcoming me with refreshments and painting a clear picture of how my visit would go.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and accommodating staff at Gooch family dental. My experience was so great from beginning to end. Treatment was comfortable, facility is clean with all new state of the art equipment. I highly recommend Gooch family dental for all your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: They were great about finding an alternate day for my original scheduled date.
Fantastic experience: I visited Dr. Duncan today, and from the moment I scheduled my appointment, the experience was exceptional. The scheduling team was prompt, courteous, and incredibly accommodating, working seamlessly with my busy schedule. When I arrived, I was greeted with a warm smile by the front receptionist, who checked me in quickly after a few simple questions. I waited no more than five minutes before being escorted back by the dental hygienist who would assist with my procedure. She was wonderfully personable, sharing stories about her two children and instantly connecting with me over my own kids. It made me feel not just like a patient, but like part of a family—a true sense of belonging. And then there’s Dr. Duncan—where do I even begin? He is an incredible man and an outstanding dentist. His kindness and compassion shine through in everything he does. I’ve yet to meet a single staff member who doesn’t adore him and love working alongside him, which speaks volumes. Dr. Duncan takes the time to truly listen, engaging in genuine conversation about what you’re experiencing. He then carefully outlines a plan for what he believes needs to be done, all while welcoming your input and feedback to tailor the care to your needs. He’s patient, respectful, and deeply knowledgeable—qualities that make him stand out. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I’m so grateful for this practice, especially Dr. Duncan and the unique energy he brings to the team. They hit a home run when they hired him. Thank you for such an amazing experience—more importantly, for making me feel like a valued family member and providing heartfelt care. I’ll be back again and again (though hopefully not too often!), and if I ever need a dentist, this is where I’ll go, with Dr. Duncan as my trusted choice.
Fantastic experience: If you love fantastic friendly environments and beautifully skillful dental results, Gooch Family Dental should be your newest best decision.
Fantastic experience: I’ve never felt so taken care of/attended to! They go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable. The entire process from the front desk to speaking with the dentist felt very friendly and welcoming. Jamaria was the one who worked with me the most during my visit. She was kind, personable, and very thorough in explaining everything/answering my questions. Comfort seems to be a major priority here, and I’ll gladly keep driving over an hour to receive the care that they provide here.
Fantastic experience: Today was my first visit. I have dental trauma and know I can be a “difficult patient”. Dr. Gooch and Dr. Lanford are the best dentists I’ve ever had. The whole office is so welcoming and made me feel truly safe. Previously I hadn’t been to the dentist in years (out of fear) and now I’m not so afraid to return. I’d highly recommend this practice for the comfort, professionalism, and kindness they provided me. Katie was also the best dental assistant I could have asked for, she gave me a warm blanket to combat the shivers and checked in with me every step of the way
Fantastic experience: The atmosphere, although very Christian-themed, is still very welcoming. I had my first visit yesterday, and I felt like a VIP guest. My hygienist, Chasity, and Mrs. Penelope were so kind and fantastic, they felt like old friends. My dentist, Dr. Duncan, was also cheerful and pleasant, and explained things in detail to me in a way I could understand. Even Abby, the staff member who greeted me, was very sweet. I could easily see myself being a regular client there if it were not for my upcoming out of state move.
Fantastic experience: Gooch Dental is great. Deanna performed my gum therapy and she was amazing! She’s super sweet and very conversational. Made me feel so comfortable during such a tedious and slightly painful procedure.
Fantastic experience: Great staff . Warm courteous and professional. Gooch family Dental gives service with you in mind
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Gooch Family Dental to anyone looking for great dental care. My hygienist Madison took great care of my mouth and thoroughly explained everything she did as she went along. Dr. Duncan also gave me great suggestions for what I needed to do to maintain good dental health. The environment and staff is also very professional and friendly!!
Thank you for your awesome review, Torrence! So glad you enjoyed your time with Madison and Dr Duncan.
Fantastic experience: Alandra was great today. She made my cleaning a very comfortable experience.
Thanks Nisha! We hope all your visits in the future are a great experience.
Fantastic experience: I visited Gooch Family Dental today. From the moment you walk out, everyone was friendly, helpful, and did all they could to make you as comfortable as you can be at the dentist. They did an extensive exam, prepared a treatment plan, discussed it thoroughly and answered any questions I had. I would recommend them to anyone. I met Cadie, Faith, Grace and Dr. Wood (I think those are the correct names) but either way, they know who they are and now they know how much I appreciate them. Crazy as it sounds, I'm actually looking forward to going back for my sedation dental work. I anticipate being a long time patient!
Thank you so much for your amazing review, Christie! You had a wonderful group of ladies caring for you today and we so appreciate you shouting them out by name. That says a lot that you are looking forward to a sedation. We promise to give you the best care!
Fantastic experience: Always great experience! Madison was fantastic and very friendly! I will be back!
We are so glad Jami! See you next time.

Fantastic experience: My hygienist Stone was great today. My teeth feel very clean after our visit. I also met Ms Penelope. She is such a pleasure to talk with and has a very kind spirit.
Rhonda is the best!! Thank you for the kind words!!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Alondra. She is professional and I was very comfortable being in her care. I am 77 years old & have been in the care of many dentists in my lifetime. Gooch Family Dental is by far the best! Highly recommend! Five stars!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words Beverly! Alondra is not only a highly skilled hygienist, but a kind and gentle person as well. We are so glad you have found your place with us. We look forward to caring for you in the future!

Fantastic experience: I have had good experiences with Leigh Ann Cash and Dr Taylor Duncan. They explain everything very well and are patient and caring.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Dr. Gooch and his staff today. Christian S who takes care of me on all my visits was awesome as always. Always extremely nice, personable, and professional. As it turned out I needed a filling and crown and since Dr Gooch had a cancellation he was able to go ahead and get that done so I didn’t need to schedule another appointment. Easy and the whole procedure was completely painless. His assistant Katie was awesome as well. She could not have been any nicer or more accommodating. Also a shout out to Samantha at billing. She explained everything thoroughly and couldn’t have been any nicer. Thanks to Dr. Gooch and his staff for a great visit today.
Thank you so much for your review, Jerry! We love to take care of our patients as efficiently as possible so you don't have any further issues. You had a great team with Christian, Sam and Dr Gooch!
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I had an amazing experience today at Gooch Family Dental! Having had previous unpleasant experiences at other dental/orthodontist offices my daughter and I were very anxious about having to have dental work done today. The staff at Gooch Family Dental went out of their way to make both of us feel at ease. Prior to our appointment Katie and Jade, our hygienists, listened to my fears and were very understanding and supportive. They were both very reassuring of the issues that were causing my daughter and I fears. Katie and Jade continued to be very supportive throughout both of our visits. Penelope was very caring and supportive as well. Dr. Gooch and Dr. Landford are very knowledgeable as well as kind. I can not recommend this dental office enough! If you have any anxiety about going to the dentist this office can help you.
Angie, we are so glad our team was able to make you and your daughter's experience a pleasant one! That is our goal and we hope to always exceed your expectations.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience getting my cleaning done. The staff was welcoming, professional, and ensured a smooth, comfortable visit. A special thanks to Jamaria for taking great care of my dental health!
Fantastic experience: Another wonderful experience at GFD! Brianna and Jade were amazing! Dr. Wood explained my complimentary (yes! FREE) Invisalign revision perfectly. I was given the whitening gel to use during my 10 week treatment, and I cant wait for my brilliant smile. Thank you GFD!!
