    Overall awesome dental practice. Dr. Peterson is my dentist…read more I first came in after discovering a cavity on my tooth. I didn't have a dentist in Asheville yet, so I searched around for one with good reviews. I was able to get an appointment very quickly, and Dr. Peterson did a great job with the filling. I ended up making a new patient appointment after that, and my teeth were cleaned, X-rayed and photographed at angles I never knew existed. They don't cut corners here! I've since had some 10-year-old fillings replaced by Dr. Peterson, as well as new composites on my two front teeth where the old ones had chipped. The composite repair took several tries because of difficulties matching my tooth color, but they made it right with no extra charges. I have been blown away by the amazing customer service at this practice, and the overall kindness and awesomeness from everyone I've interacted with here. Price wise- well, I didn't comparison shop, but I'm thinking the prices here are about average for a high quality dentist. You get what you pay for. This place is worth it!

    My visit to Gillespie Dental Associates was the most positive new patient appointment I have ever…read morehad. From the start, the staff in the front promptly returned my call to set up an appointment. The hygienist, Hannah was so lovely. She had the space set up in a cozy manner with lamps and gentle music playing. Throughout each step she was communicative, careful, and attentive. Then, Dr. Patel arrived and continued to provide the same level of compassion and attentiveness. I would highly recommend this practice who anyone who has dentist appointment apprehensive like I did in the past.

    I just left this location and I wish I could give them 10 stars . This was by far the best dental…read moreexperience I have ever had! I live out of state and was having a dental emergency. I called multiple locations and no one would accept my insurance , but more importantly no one could get me in for an appointment today. As soon as Emily answered the phone at Asheville dental , I knew my luck was changing . She was so sweet and sympathetic. She made sure to explain everything to me including costs, since my insurance is no good in North Carolina and she got me in for an appointment in the afternoon. They sent me a text with all the information and a link to my paperwork so I could fill everything out before I arrived. I made sure to get there early and the offices are warm and welcoming. I gave my name in the front and they checked me in. I was called back right at my appointment time. I explained my situation and Makayla was patient and understanding. She checked my teeth and took an x-ray and made sure to verify the cost with me. Dr. Powell came in to examine me and he was absolutely wonderful. He explained the issue and provided me with lots of options . He answered all of my questions and I left feeling super hopeful and incredibly relieved. Thank you to Emily and Makayla and Dr. Powell! I hope you know what a difference you made in my life today.

    There are several issues with this place. I'll elaborate. This place talked with my mom for a while…read moreon the phone, and my mom repeatedly said I have no dental insurance in their talk of several minutes. I shortly after get a text message to bring in my insurance card. That's quite unprofessional to not make notes of someone, and just giving them a generic response, which wouldn't be the first time they are inattentive either. I addressed to the nurse and Dasher that I'm vegan, which is blatantly disregarded later on, as I'll get to that soon. Also, my mom thought the plants in there were real, but I knew they were fake, and even the nurse said they're fake. Real plants help with oxygen, creativity, and other benefits. Their plants are as fake as their care. Dasher doesn't know too much flouride harms the teeth, known as fluorosis, as there's even a word for it, and thinks just spitting out fluoride means it's safe, even though it does absorb into the mouth and skin, like plenty of other things. I'm not totally against flouride either. 98% of West Europe doesn't use fluoride, and they generally have far better teeth than here in infamous bad teeth, and generally awful health America. Denmark officially has the best teeth in the world, according to reports. Japan has far better teeth, especially with NASA giving them nano-hydroxyapatite, which Dasher says is inferior to flouride, even though peer-reviewed studies say it's the same strength or better for teeth. So, the education there is pretty bad. At least Japan, among other advances in health and intelligence over America, is very close to regrowing teeth with stem cells, probably by 2025, several reports say. It's blatantly better to have brand-new teeth than none or fillings. Even after those two issues, I still was willing to go back there. However, the issue with veganism occurs, and this is problematic for anyone with allergies, or any religion, which a dentist place could be used for. I'm prescribed antibiotics, which I really didn't want since loads of peer-reviewed studies of my Russian roots, American studies, and so forth point to garlic being a far better antibiotic than synthetic antibiotics, since it doesn't kill good bacteria, and doesn't build tolerance, unlike synthetic ones (which about 80% of synthetic ones go towards animal agriculture). My mom had her first son pick it up. We trusted this office to handle the appropriate antibiotics, which turned out to be in poor outcome of a half-ass dentist office. The pharmacy won't take back an unopened bag and unopened bottle of pills. I addressed my concerns to the office in two emails. One email was on July 28th, addressing fluorosis, and the other info of Denmark, and so forth. I provided loads of screenshots to validate my claims. It was actually a favor to them so they're aware. No thank you. No reply. No call. No text. August 1st, I email them about the prescription, and the severity of how it can impact people of allergies, religions, and vegans. No reply. I texted them, too. September 11th (wow, a day I witnessed the news of in Florida in my middle school days, and I was in a plane to NJ and back to Florida, seeing the towers only from above) they sent a letter without any reimbursement, without any apology, and says we cannot see you unless an emergency, along with other nonsense. I don't want them to harass me with letters. $6+ to send me a letter. They won't even send emails. Ironically, again, their email at the bottom of the silly letter. It takes them over a month to get back to me. You want to talk about incompetent, and narcissistic of an office. I will be leaving reviews with evidence on various parts of online. I let the oral surgeon he recommended know again like last time. Incompetent and uncaring office. It's good that this place isn't the only place around for dental in Arden/Asheville.

    3 months agoI had a mouler removed by Troy Hoover. Worst…read moreexperience I ever had at a dentist in 60 years. Hoover assured me it would be a regular extraction and would not be necessary for a sugical extraction. When I asked him if he was sure a surgical would not be be necessary for the second time, he laughed and said regular extraction is all you need. Gave me a quote and started to remove tooth. After several minutes of prying and pulling he started to cut tooth in pieces with a tool, as he kept finding more and more pieces of my tooth he finally said all tooth is removed and sent me on my way with no stitches. He imediately increased bill due to tooth having to be surgicly removed . The amount was a $64.00 increase which i paid ,but as days went by and tooth removal spot was ripped up and still bleeding, it began to irretate me that he would charge $64.00 extra after what he put me through and after he stated surgery would not be necassary twice, it literly took a couple more minutes at best to perform the proceedure. After explaining to the staff and requesting a refund for the $64.00 the office manager approved the reimbursement and immediately terminated me from any further dentistry with Troy Hoover. Not that I ever planned on returning to this dentist again anyway. So i'm writing this reveiw 3 months later because 2 days ago I went to a denist for teeth cleaning and exrays and the denetist showed me exray of a piece of the same tooth left under gum. So all that and the tooth removal is still an issue. This is the reason I felt the need for this review. Although a dentist may say "no problem, have a seat, I've pulled 100's of teeth", beware !

    I live in Florida 6 months out of the year, where I've had a great dentist for over 30 years…read more I work and live in NC, the other 6 months. While I was in NC, I had an issue with my gums, so stopped by this dentist office to see if they took my insurance. They didn't take it, but said they would fill out the paperwork for me. Everybody in the office was so nice and professional. I was worried about my gum, because it was hurting. Dr. Hoover saw me right away and said I would need to see a periodontist, which works in his office on certain days. Dr. Hoovers office is open Monday - Wednesdays. I made an appointment to see her and also made an appointment for a dental cleaning with Dr. Hoover, even if it cost me more money. The receptionist was so nice and helpful. Dr. Hoover could not have been nicer. The hygienist was wonderful. I also went back to have a bite guard made and had the gum surgery. After each visit, I paid the full bill and left with the paperwork, in an envelope, ready to put in the mail, along with a copy for my files. They made it so easy! Being that I was out of network, I expected to pay a lot more out of pocket, but was happy to receive checks from insurance covering most of it. Everyone in this office treated me like I was family. After over 30 years with my Florida dentist, I have decided to make Dr. Hoover my new dentist.
