I went to another dentist 12 years ago when I was pregnant for painful gums. I wont say their name, but they were "Absolute"ly terrible. The dentist there told me that I had 5 cavities that needed filling. I was confused because I am so diligent about oral hygiene and only had 1 cavity ever in my 35 years. I decided to go see Dr. Lewis after my pregnancy and told him about my experience. It turns out that I had ZERO cavities, how interesting.... I have been seeing Dr. Lewis for 12 years now, and still no more cavities ever. My whole family goes to Dr. Lewis including the 12 year old :) By the way, Sasi is an AMAZING hygienist. She does a fantastic job and makes all of us comfortable. Very caring team of professionals; thank you!!

Dr. Lewis has been my dentist for many years, long before he went with Gentle Dental. He is an excellent dentist, personable and his staff reflects his demeanor and competence. Everyone, from Sasi who has been my hygienist for many years, Jeannette who handles the accounts, Christie, Dr. Lewis' assistant and everyone else in the office are always pleasant, friendly and make me feel confident that I am in good hands. Generally going to the dentist is a nerve-wracking experience, but not at Gentle Dental So. Meadows. I have recommended them to many friends and clients of mine and have only heard good comments from them as well.

Over the last several months, I have had extensive dental work done at Gentle Dental with Dr. Lewis and staff and I couldn't be happier. Appointments were quick, efficient and "gentle". Never had to wait more than a few minutes. I loved everybody, really love Dr. Lewis. And I'm very happy with the final results.

Dr Lewis is amazing - very gentle and kind. I was terrified but he talked me through my procedure and really helped ease my anxiety. His staff - primarily Britnee, Toni, Kayla, Heather, and Jeanette were so incredibly kind, caring, compassionate, responsive and absolutely wonderful to me. I felt like family from the moment I walked in. I have severe anxiety over going to the dentist but this staff made it so much more manageable and I left feeling like a new person. Truly, they are a GREAT BUNCH OF FOLKS AND STELLAR PROS!! Thank you to all of them!

I had previously had such poor experiences with corporate dental offices, I was not looking forward to another dds appt. Well this staff turned it around for me. Professionalism from the reception to bill payment and in between, of course dr. Lewis And tech Brittany are the best! They helped ease my fear of dealing with a dentist office by cutting way back on everything else. Time it took was amazing, no pain, I was flabbergasted how it had gone so smoothly! Affordable options, polite staff and drs. I will totally recommend these guys to take care of your teeth!

I am a new resident to both Nevada & Reno. Gentle Dental was recommended to me by a close friend, and it turrned out to be a real find! I was able to request a next day appointment using their website; and on the day of service, I was able to receive both my intake exam AND my semi-annual teeth cleaning. Best of all, the entire staff from the desk adminstrators, dental hygentist, their assistant, and the Doctor were welcoming, professional, jovial and put me immediately at ease. I'd HIGHLY recommend them if you don't have a dental provider or if you want to change providers.

My experience here was amazing! I had Cigna HMO and the dentist who was supposedly in network couldn't do my root canal so I had to get referred. Gentle Dental Reno South got me in next day! I waited longer at a different office for crowns (took them over 3 weeks) than I did for the root canal. The staff was knowledgeable about my insurance and they made me feel so much better. They will now be my primary dentist office! I really won't go anywhere else. The whole staff has been awesome!

Always "A+"! We've been coming here for several years. Two sets of braces, and cleanings. Always fast, friendly.... very friendly, professional care. All employees greet you like family, with a smile and pleasant demeanor. I've had to pop in on many occasions, to have a wire cut, or something else related to braces. They welcome me at anytime. They squeeze me right in, to take care of my issue. Even the receptionist, who is also a seasoned hygienist, paused her lunch break to take me back and clip a poking wire. So nice. I'm very appreciative, and would recommend GDRS.
