He cares about not just your dental health but your overall health as well. He's not in it just for the money like some of the younger dentist who are rushed and don't take their time. read more

Excellent dental care!   I've been going here for 15 years (at least?). I'm 31 now. Both my parents go too. I honestly feel lucky to have Dr. Gillespie as a dentist.  He is always incredibly thorough with his work, takes his time, and educates you by showing you photos of your teeth, and explains what's going on.  He really cares about his patients, and he does great work overall! ... I have neverrr had any bad experiences going when I was younger either.  I was a young teen, and obviously didn't like going to *any* dentist haha...but it was always a thorough visit and I never had a single bad experience here!  I always felt like my teeth were in good care.  When I would get numbed up, I'd be nervous; but I never once felt the needle!  It helped lessen my fear of needles & going to the dentist. ... I did stop going to the dentist for 7 yrs (b/c college & insurance issues) . But I just started going again this month, and all of the past work Dr. Gillespie did for me has held up great over time!  Everything looks good, and that makes me feel even more safe here. ... Going here has always been the best experience I could ask for at the dentist.  I feel like I get top quality care here.  I made my fiance start going and he feels the same!! Thank you sooo much to Dr. Gillespie and his wonderful staff! read more

I have been going to Dr. Gillespie since I first moved to the South Bay about 8 years ago. He was highly recommended by a co-worker. The quality that stands out most about Dr. Gillespie is his attention to detail. His dental office is the only one I've been to that regularly checks the depth of the gum pockets around every tooth. He will also evaluate the quality of (and in some cases, fix) your prior dental work. He always discusses both the pros and cons of any procedure with you before you decide on doing it--for example, I have an impacted wisdom tooth that every other dentist has recommended removing, but Dr. Gillespie advises me that it would not be worth the risk in potential nerve damage. His staff is very friendly and professional. Suzie, the receptionist, is good about calling to remind you about appointments a few days in advance. Usually Kris does my teeth cleaning, and she is very nice and very thorough. Dr. Gillespie is also a UCLA alum for any of you fellow Bruins out there. read more

Dr. Gillespie is an excellent dentist. He has treated my family over the past 10 years. Dr. Gillespie excellent care and repair of our teeth, plus his sense of humor and education during the exam and treatment are exceptional. He has helped my daughter, who is disabled and very anxious overcome panic attacks in the chair. She is now asking to see Kr. Gillespie (this is a tremendous improvement). I could not say enough about his care for us as people and his work to keep our dental health affordable. Thank you, Dr. Gillespie! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Gillespie for more than ten years, and have recommended his office to many coworkers. Everyone always comes back with rave reviews. Here's why I like his office: 1. Clean 2. Meticulous work 3. Great dental hygienist (Update 5/26/18- Prior Hygienist moved- We now see Veronica- she does an awesome job at cleaning teeth and advising so that you get the most out of the visit, plus, very important to me, she is very gentle!!) 4. No pain. 5. Everyone actually cares- that makes a huge difference. They always call to confirm the appointment 'live'. I know the names of the people who work in the office and they recognize me and my husband when we come in. Before I went to Dr. Gillespie, I felt like my dentist office treated the patients like cattle, and the condition of my teeth reflected it. Years later, my teeth and gums are actually in better shape from the care that I receive. I highly recommend Dr. Gillespie and his team. read more

Dr. Gillespie and staff are professional, expedient and kind. His attention to detail and dedication to high quality care is fabulous. I highly recommend this awesome practice. DR read more

I couldn't have found a better dentist. Dr. Gillespie had the skill and knowledge to repair all my problems in my mouth. He went above and beyond what any dentist has ever done for me. I'm very lucky to have found Dr. Gillespie. read more

Dr. Gillespie has been caring for me and my family for several years. I'm very confident in his care and dental expertise. We were fortunate to find him after losing a dentist and finding his replacement unacceptable. He is very thorough and responsive to any concerns or questions. The specialist that he has referred us to for other care have also been very good and patient focused. His staff are professional and personable at the same time. The office is always clean and in a good location. read more

Dr. Gillespie has been my General Dentist for about 4 years now. I am not a person who usually writes reviews on Yelp. However, I believe that superior customer (patient) service deserves to be reviewed. Today, I went to Dr. Gillespie's office for an anterior (front) bonding (filling) on my tooth. Dr. Gillespie took a great deal of time to make this filling look very natural. He could have tried to save time and offer another less conservative treatment option. This would have been far more profitable for him, and much more expensive for me . He didn't even try to offer this to me. I had told him I only wanted a bonding. A dentist like this is very difficult to find. Most people without a dental background do not have the knowledge to make a conservative decision. Here in this office all treatments are explained to you and there is no high pressure treatment plans ! In closing, I wanted to tell you on another occasion I was overcharged for a restoration by the front office manager. Dr. Gillespie called me personally that evening, at my home to explain her error and refund the balance to my account. Yes, this is an office worth looking into if you are thinking about changing your general dentist.. read more

So just went to see Dr. G and wanted to write another review. He fixed a cracked tooth and was great. I was surprised to see the other reviews as I've always had a pleasant office experience. read more

Dr. Gillespie's ofice is amazing! After not having been to the dentist for over 10 years, I was both incredibly nervous and not sure what to expect as far as the dental work I'd need. Dr. Gillespie has some of the most advanced technology available, including drill-less fillings, an oral camera, and low radiation digital x-rays. And, Dr. Gillespie's aim is to get your mouth healthy, NOT get all the money he can out of you! Accompanied by his kind and knowledgeable staff, you can't beat this dental experience! read more

Dr G has been my dentist since 2003. He is extremely skilled and won't settle for lower quality care even if this costs his time. Just got my first implant and he took a good 2 hours to make sure my bite was perfect. He's the Michangelo of dentistry. Thanks Dr G. read more

I have been Dr. Gillespie's for some time, my experience with him has greatly changed over those years. His dentistry is good however it takes forever in the chair. He treats his staff with no respect and I feel embarrassed for them. I witnessed him with another patient and was so disappointed in the way he treated this older man. He seems to have become interested more in making money than in his patient care I I can't say that I would recommend him or if I will even return to him myself. It's sad to see a professional man change so much! read more

Greatest dentist, cleanest office and overall best customer service and dental care in the south bay! I have been with Dr. G from childhood to adulthood. read more

Amazing doctor and wonderful experience! You can tell that he really cares about you as a person and about the work that he's doing. I've never had a dentist take the time and care to explain to me what is going on, show me what is happening and engage me in a conversation about options. He doesn't talk down you and wants what is best for the patient. He's very meticulous in his work to ensure a lifetime guarantee. I hope I never have to find another dentist! In addition, the whole staff is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend this office! read more

Updated 07/12/2017 Just went to see Dr. G for my annual cleaning and also had restorative work done on my front teeth and was so pleased I felt I had to update my review from a few years ago. First, like most everyone, dental cleaning is not my favorite event, but the hygienists at Dr. G's office are friendly, efficient and do a fabulous job. Next, during my checkup Dr. G noticed I had a few chips in my front teeth that were noticeable. He was able to schedule me the same week and not only replace my old fillings but also did some cosmetic work that I really needed. Now I'm not constantly touching my front teeth and wishing they looked better, now they look great! and btw- this was a nearly painless experience. End of year and just had my annual cleaning and some cosmetic work done. Dr. G is very particular and detailed, which I LOVE in my dentist. I've been going to his office for many years and have recommended co-workers and friends, everyone is a fan! Dr. G has exceptional skills and has state of the art equipment. If you are looking for a great dentist with a professional staff that will go the extra mile to keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking fabulous this is the dentist for you! read more

Doctor G did a fantastic job on repairing a most valuable tooth. It looks better than the original and I am exceedingly pleased. I'm one tooth better than I was before I came in. And that alone is reason to smile and show off my new tooth. LOL. Thank you doctor Gillespie I appreciate your professionalism with attention to detail. Special thanks to Dawn and Ernie along with the rest of the staff. M. Boersma read more

Over the years I've seen several different dentist and received what I considered good care. Dr. Gillespie's work has reset the bar, raised my expectations of good dental care; he is phenomenal. He doesn't just fix your dental problems, he educates you about your particular needs and how to properly care for yourself. Equipped with the latest tools and technology, he meticulously completes his work while keeping you relaxed and comfortable. His staff is equally professional, knowledgable and friendly. For superb dental care, I highly recommend Dr. Gillespie and his staff. read more

I've been a patient for a while and he's a great dentist, but he seems to try and pressure treatment all the time. I've noticed how he became really greedy and worry more about making money than patient care!! He has a great loving staff that I really admire because they deal with his ugly attitude. He has no respect for them, he yells across the hallway for assistace, and make unecessary compliments like "they should be glad they have a job. I really hate seeing and hearing how he treats them and specially the blonde lady with hearing problems. I really would like for him to understand that he should be glad and thankful to have a staff like his, very nice, helpful, and very friendly(because they do make you feel like you're family!!). Because they are great and don't deserve to be treated that way.....Dr. Gillespie, if you really read these reviews good! because you really need to know how it's obvious that your life sucks, but dont take it all out on your patients pocket or staff please!!! Leave your problems at home would you? Do not treat your patients or staff like you wouldn't like your kids and wife to be treated. ^_* read more

Dr. Roger Gillespie has been our family dentist for 7-8 yrs now and we are blessed to have found him. When I first met him, I thought he was a little serious. As I got to know him, I find him to be very easy to talk to, funny and even silly especially around my kids. My kids LOVE going to Dr. G. I have been to a few dentist and he is definitely a perfectionist. He is always focused on making sure everything is perfect. I agree that he can be impatient sometimes with his staff, but I've never seen him rude. I took my mom to him a few years ago with the intention of getting 4 veneers because she has a chipped tooth with an old composite filling. Instead, he advised her to just redo her old filling to a lighter color to match her other teeth. He told her her front teeth looked really good and are in great condition so she should keep it as long as possible. He said she could always do it later if the filling came off again. My mom was amazed with how honest he was. Also, he made every effort to make her comfortable. As of now, her filling is still intact. Whenever anyone needs great, honest dental work done with peace of mind, I completely recommend Dr. G. Two thumbs up from me and my family! read more
