Practice Profile Page

Dr. K and his staff are amazing! They are so genuine, friendly and reassuring! Although it’s not a pleasure having wisdom teeth extracted as an adult, Dr. K’s comforting style and fun personality took the edge off and helped me get through an experience I was pretty anxious about! Since then, he’s also down some crown work for me, which went beautifully, and again, throughout it all was very patient with my anxiety about dental procedures. His staff is so understanding and gentle….I can’t recommend the enough! Thanks for all your wonderful work!

Dr. K is simply amazing. He is gentle, kind and very caring and always makes me feel comfortable. I’ve had a few big procedures through the years including extractions, crowns and most recently a root canal and he made the experiences completely bearable. He always explains everything in detail and he really knows his stuff. The staff is equally as amazing. They’re all kind, thoughtful and truly care about you. I’ll never go to another dentist!

Dr. K. was referred to me by a friend at work. I figured I’d give it a shot, and I’ve been happily a patient here for over three years. The staff…including the dentist… are friendly and seem to genuinely want to get to know you. Dr. K. always seems to continue the conversation from the last time we left off. He is the most down-to-earth doctor I’ve ever met – instantly putting me at ease He is thorough and answers all my questions and I appreciate his blunt honesty. Since I’ve been a patient here, my parents and sister have used him as their dentist and are equally happy.

Dr. Kalavrouziotis is an excellent dentist. After finding out that my upper teeth all had “issues” including cracks in them, he explained what options I had. We settled on extracting them and going for dentures. After several fittings I was giving my dentures. The transition was very easy and the fit was perfect. Never had to go back for adjustements, which I’ve been told is very unusual. Dr. Kalavrouziotis has a great bed side manner and his hygienist Elena and staff are the best! They work well together. I cannot stop smiling now that I have my beautiful new teeth.

I’ve been going to this dental office since 1983. Although the practice has changed dentists the same high level of service and care has been ever present. A family- friendly practice with cheerful, caring staff from the moment you walk through the door. Although I travel 45 mins from home to the dental office it is well worth the trip. Thanks Dr K and Staff !

I have not gone to the dentist for many years due to being pretrified from a previous dentist, but couldn’t ignore the pain in one of my molars. I called Gateway dental and they were able to accommodate me right away even as a new patient. I was greeted very warmly by the staff and they assured me it would be ok. After an x-ray was taken I learned I needed a root canal. Dr. K came in and was very personable, explained what I needed, and how the procedure would work. This helped ease my fear. When he mentioned I needed a shot I instantly became scared but he coached me through and it was nearly pain free. He had a very gentle way of working and the total experience was great. The experience at Gateway Dental has made me a patient for life.

What can I say about Dr. K and his wonderful staff? A lot. I have been seeing Dr. K for over a year now. It was years since I had seen a dentist. I was a little embarrassed and afraid to go after years of neglect. His front desk girl was very understanding and helpful, she listened to my needs and concerns, explained in detail how my first visit would be and what would be done. After meeting Dr. K, I knew I made the right decision. He has state of the art equipment; digital xrays, camera, etc, which really helps to paint a picture of what’s going on in your mouth. After the exam, he and his wonderful assistant took the time to go over all of their findings and come up with a plan to get me in better shape. Finances were also discussed with me so there were no surprises. Dr. K is very gentle and great at giving needles. He has extracted several teeth with little to no pain, and placed some fillings on my front teeth. My smile has never looked better. His hygienist is thorough, gentle, and really has a knack for putting you at ease. Dr. K and his team work very well together and they put a little fun in going to the dentist. Thank you Dr. K and the rest of your team!!

I highly recommend!!!! Not once have I thought of going to another dentist. Dr. K’s chair-side manner is warm and engaging. Dr. K. and his staff alike keeps the patient informed of what he is doing and why in layman’s language. It’s not often that you’ll hear someone say that they look forward to visiting their dentist, but it’s definitely true in my case. As an added bonus, his staff is also topnotch. I trust this practice to provide quality care for my family and that says everything.

My husband has a lot of dental problems and Dr. Kalavrouziotis has done a fantastic job so far. I had some cavities and was terrified to go and get this done… Now I can honestly say I feel comfortable  and will go back again with no fear.  He is a great Dr. very friendly and he listens to your concerns doesn’t rush you. I defiantly recommend him as your family dentist.

Dr. Tim and his team are amazing! The entire office staff is so friendly and eager to make your visit the best it can be. It is meticulously clean and beautifully modern. And Dr. Tim’s cosmetic work is superb… second to none!! I recommend this office to anyone looking for a fabulous family dental practice!
