About Gilman Orthodontics
Dr. Steven Gilman is described as skipping unnecessary adjustments and treating only when there's a real benefit, even telling one patient a visit wasn't needed.
Reviews at Gilman Orthodontics repeatedly note a low-pressure approach, with the doctor described as listening to what patients actually need rather than upselling extra treatment. Parents mention results like resolving jumbled, crowded lower incisors and correcting an overbite over two years of braces, while one adult reports straightened teeth in under ten months. A few reviews also point to reasonable pricing, including one patient who had been quoted far more elsewhere before finding affordable care here.

We love Doctor Gilman. He's amazing with kids, making them laugh, feel comfortable and get great care. He's also not device happy and only intervenes when he actually sees the cost benefit being worth it. HIGHLY recommend him and his awesome, patient team!
Dr. Gilman and his team provide exceptional care for their patients. Dr. Gilman has so much experience and knowledge. He also has a great personality and relates well with children and adults. My kids love seeing Dr. Gilman and his friendly and capable staff and I love their beautiful, new smiles. Thanks Dr. Gilman!
You will laugh and have fun, not just get ortho work done! Tylee works the front desk and brings up your spirits up no matter how bad of a day you may have had— she’s focused on people, not computers. You will be taken care of! The whole team obviously loves the environment they work in and they love working together. Trinity, Missy, Hailey and OF COURSE Kelsea love to make you laugh, feel important, and to feel like you are family. From what I observed, they are fully competent, and experienced. Dr. Gilman has assembled the finest team in the valley! Every piece of equipment is state of the art and great thought has gone into every detail to put this office above the competition. See for yourself!
Kristen is as professional as it gets! She puts you at ease, and absolutely knows what she is talking about. She brings a level of order and professionalism that makes this office stand out. It is obvious she knows how to be efficient and at the same time makes you feel like the whole office is set up just for YOU as the individual. She works in perfect synchronicity with Dr. Steven, so that he can put his full attention on you, while she prints up the summary of everything you talked about. So orderly!
My lower incisors were a jumbled mess after years of crowding culminating in a lost tooth, but after treatment they looked respectable again. The business had a relaxed friendly vibe with plenty of humor; a pleasant place to be. My preschool daughter used to play happily there while I had my braces adjusted.
