MEET YOUR DENTIST
Hi, I'm Dr. Gao
I don't believe a trip to the dentist should feel like a sales pitch. My approach is gentle, nonjudgmental, and refreshingly direct. If you need treatment, I'll tell you why; if you don't, I'll tell you that too.
​
I'm a member of the American Dental Association and Texas Dental Association, and I've spent my career caring for communities in both Austin and Philadelphia, with a particular soft spot for patients who've felt rushed or unheard at other offices. When you sit down in my chair, we'll start with a conversation, and you'll leave with a plan you actually understand.
Everything your smile needs.
