Barb
Office Manager
Barb retired in 2021 after 20 years as our office manager with Gentle Dental. She is originally from Portsmouth, Ohio (right on the Ohio River) and moved to Tyler area over 30 years ago. She is now spending more time with her six adorable grand-babies. We will miss her daily around the office, but she is still available for support and training with our office staff. Maybe you can catch her for a visit when she comes to town and is at the office to lead training sessions.
With over 70 years combined training and experience, the Gentle Dental team members,
alongside Dr. Gerber and Dr. Simons, provide some of the highest level qualified service in the dental field.
We are honored to provide personable and caring treatment for all of our patients.
And by the way, it's not by accident that our name says
"Gentle".
