My experience was awesome, from the receptionist that whent out of her way to make my coverage work, to the dental hygenist that was friendly and professional and seemed to always know when i needed to spit. Dr. Gallup is clear and concise and does not try to push anything extra. Will be back for sure.

Started going to this dentist exclusively after Dr. Gallup extracted my wisdom teeth. He did all 4 without putting me out whereas my previous dentist referred me to a surgeon deep in Calgary. Always good service here, and they treat you like family.

Best place to go for your dental needs. Dr Galup is very professional, the staff are very friendly. Their costs are very reasonable and never push unnecessary treatment. I live in Calgary and is well worth the trip. I find they are a lot less expensive than the Calgary dentists I have been to.
