I recently had a dental visit that exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the front desk team was friendly, efficient, and professional, making check-in seamless and stress-free. The providers were equally outstanding highly skilled, attentive, and thorough in their care. What really stood out was that no one tried to upsell or push any unnecessary services; they stayed focused solely on what I actually needed. They were also incredibly flexible with scheduling, working everything around my availability to make it as convenient as possible. I left feeling well cared for and confident in the team. Highly recommend!

Visiting the dentist is not my favorite thing, but Dr. Donnelly and the San Marcos Gentle Dental group team make it a seamless experience. Dr Donnelly is the best dentist!! He soothes my anxiety. He has always taken the time to explain each procedure. His entire staff is outstanding, including my awesome hygienist, Allison. I am more grateful than I can say to be under the care of such a highly skilled dentist with years of experience who shows such compassion.

Their savings plan has helped me for over five years now maintain my teeth and not need any dental work. Highly recommend, I drive from Austin to come here

Just beware they show up on United Health Care HMO in network. Yet I was told that they do not accept this insurance. Very misleading they need to update info with the insurance company since they are saying that they are not in network. Very disappointing the call back person Margaret was very cold not friendly at all. Defiantly would never recommend this office.

Every member of the staff was friendly and welcoming right from the start. Although my appointment was delayed slightly they were prompt to inform me and straightforward with providing an accurately estimated wait time.
The exam/X-rays were quick and easy, all of my concerns were addressed and I did not feel pressured for any “additional treatment” options.
Highly recommend; Will use again 👍

So I don’t know if this dentist office does click bait on their website but they have a special for $69 and I tried to schedule an appointment. So the lady comes back on and tells me the price is going to be $229 and my fiancé could be seeing this Thursday. Once I told her that I wanted the special, she couldn’t schedule me until November 13th. It’s just kind of funny how if I was willing to pay $229 I could go to the dentist But if I want the special, I gotta wait a month. It just seems kind of shady to me and when I asked the receptionist or lady that I spoke to about it, she was extremely rude and could not give me a reason a true valid reason as to why I couldn’t have the special and or if I did want it, I had to wait a month. It’s called gentle dental, not let me gently rip you off. Better be!

I’m new to the area so I got on google to find somewhere to go for my tooth. I was able to get seen the same day. Everyone was so nice and friendly n understanding. Dr Gentile was awesome and so was his assistant I forgot her name. I thank God for both of y’all n I’m forever grateful. My mouth feels much better.

I went here recently to have my teeth cleaned. Wendy was very polite and professional, and made the process easy and stress free. Dr. Genteal (I apologize if misspelled) was great as well. I also especially loved and appreciated the beautiful mural outside of the window. Best density that I’ve been to.
