I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Gillespie and her team! Every visit has been a positive experience. The staff is always incredibly kind, and there’s usually little to no wait. Dr. Gillespie has the sweetest bedside manner, and I truly appreciate how the team takes the time to explain each step of the process, which helps alleviate dental anxiety. The assistants are also great at explaining what they'll be doing next, which makes me feel comfortable and informed. I especially love that they take pictures of my teeth and display them on a TV screen so I can see my oral health in real-time. It's a thoughtful touch that shows they care about both my comfort and understanding of my dental care. The front receptionist is also very helpful and always willing to help accommodate my busy schedule.

The staff at this dentist office are fantastic. They are so friendly, informative and comforting. I had not been to the dentist in 30 years because of some bad experiences. Goochland Dentistry went out of their way to put me at ease. They were very compassionate. I highly recommend them. I am excited to feel comfortable enough to return to regular dental checkups now.

I can't say I ever thought I'd be giving a 5 star review to a dentists office but here I am. As a brand new patient I was blown away with the level of care I received. From the initial consultation to the scheduling of my follow up and everything in between was first rate. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Murchie and his excellent staff.

I've been going here for many years and they're always kind and considerate. Once again, I had a great experience! 11/7/23 5/21/24 Always a great experience! 10/3/24 I broke a tooth on the 2nd and I called immediately and they got me an appointment yesterday morning. My tooth was fixed and taken care of. Thank you Dr. Murchie and all the staff. You all are great!

I was referred to Goochland Dentistry by a friend who knew I was looking for a new dentist. What a fabulous experience! The clinic is spotlessly clean, very well equipped and pleasantly decorated in calming tones. But the staff is really what's remarkable. Everyone was welcoming, kind and very professional. I felt like they were pleased to have me there. There was a tour, and an introductory meeting with the staff that would be working with me. My cleaning and oral evaluation and examination was the best I think I've ever had! Dr. Murchie was thorough and focused and explained everything very clearly. I highly recommend this dentist and his practice. A wonderful experience.

We’ve been with Dr. Murchie since the inception of his practice - my children were tots and actually asked if we could go to the dentist every time we passed his office on our way home. 20 years later and we still appreciate the professionalism, care and focus on relationships with patients. The practice has expanded, but the focus is still on the individual; everyone continues to be warm, welcoming and at the top of their dental service/skill game.

Dr. Murchie is an excellent dentist. I came to him when I needed emergency surgery and was being put off for more than a week by the oral surgeon. He explains everything that he is doing, is sympathetic, and performs highly skilled work with calmness. He is everything that you’d want in a dentist and more. Very impressed. Highly recommend!

I came in as a new patient off the street without even calling first. After greeting me and filling out papers I had x rays and was seen by Dr Murchin. He pulled my tooth, total time from home 90 minutes. Had a professional consultation in advance and was apprised of all expenses prior to procedure. Kudos to all the staff as well as Dr. Murchin for their friendliness and support.

Dr. Murchie and his team are nothing short of amazing. Every visit to their office is a five-star experience from start to finish. I have avoided regular trips to the dentist in the past because a genetic condition makes local anesthetic pain relief challenging to maintain during procedures, and this can be frustrating for some dentists to encounter. However, I’ve never felt like this is a burden to Dr. Murchie and his team. They are incredibly attentive and ensure that you remain as comfortable and pain-free as possible throughout any procedure. They have a perfect blend of professionalism and genuine care. You’re not just another patient to them—they truly take the time to listen, understand your needs, and make sure you feel at ease, from the front desk on back. They also make sure care is attainable and affordable. This has made an enormous difference in my life, and I have been visiting this practice now for a year and had regular cleanings as well as an implant and fillings. I’ve never felt more confident and well-cared-for in a dental office. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines top-notch skill with heartfelt compassion and cutting edge technology, look no further. I’d give them 10 stars if I could.

Dr. Murchie has been my dentist for 10 years. Not only does he give excellent care, but he is also kind and compassionate in his caregiving. I totally trust him to be honest about what dental care I do and do not need. His staff is also friendly and very competent. Both hygienists are gentle and thorough. The atmosphere is pleasant and relaxing. I highly recommend going there.

VENEERS!! by Dr Murchie were beautifully applied in 2006 and JUST NOW replaced. They could not be more perfect with exact color, and literally stunning appearance. I was a patient of his when he had a small efficient office to present where he has a state of the art facility. Dr Murchie is passionate about his art and compassionate about his patients .He is the G.O.A.T of all dentists!

Amazing practice! Both dentists are avid about their hygienists’ continuing education. They offer new services each time I visit and they stay knowledgeable about the ever changing world of dentistry. I’ve had 3 out of their 4 hygienists work on my cleanings and they’re all knowledgeable, considerate and personal. Highly recommend!

The dentist and staff were very friendly and very professional. The exam and cleaning were both thorough and comfortable. The findings were explained in an easy to understand manner. An overall pleasant experience. I feel I have found what I was looking for - a dentist I can trust to give the care I need.

Dr. Murchie is very personable and engaging. We are just starting the process and the dental assistant (I didn’t get her name) explained the Invisalign process to us thoroughly and assured us that their goal was to help my son be proud of his smile. I also need to mention Samuel who has been very responsive to calls and has been very helpful by giving us options and assisting with the payment process

I have EXTREME dental anxiety and had to change dentists in the past year due to the retirement of my previous dentist. Landed at Dr. Murchie's and so far so good! I am of the age where old work is in need of a redo. I have successfully "survived" 2 fillings, 2 crowns and impressions. Dr. Murchie says and does all the right things to help get me through and I have experienced zero pain. For someone who has trouble with even a basic cleaning, that is nothing short of amazing! Christine, Tammy and Denise have helped me tremendously. While I can't say I like going to any dentist, Dr. Murchie gets a "A" from a tough customer!!!!

This place is incredible! So friendly and informational. Had a cleaning and then an awesome consultation for Invisalign. Definitely pulling the trigger and getting it. Love this place and their team! I am very self conscious about my mouth and smile and they are helping me to become more confident! -John

Love this dental office. Everyone very friendly at same time professioanal. Love the complete dental exam including xrays and photos of teeth, plus explanation of what Dr. Murchie's plan. Payment options are also good. So glad to have discovered this practice. Saw Dr.Gillespie this time for reinsertion of a crown. She is very friendly, kind, gentle and gracious. Never liked going to dentist til my first visit to Goochland Dentistry. Everyone is top notch!

I have only been coming here for a short time and find Dr Murchie to be a very nice and kind man. I love Lee Daniel, his hygienist who I had been with for about 22 years at another practice . Lee does an amazing job cleaning your teeth. She is kind and cares for her patients As does Dr. Murchie. They make an incredible team. I have not left my other dentist but I have come here because of Lee; however, I am not opposed to seeing Dr Murchie. He was so kind to me the first time I was at his practice. I was there to have my teeth cleaned just before starting Chemo for breast cancer. He asked if I objected to his saying a short prayer for me. I was very touched by his kindness. I highly recommend this dental practice.

During my first visit with Goochland Dentistry I was welcomed by several staff members and made to feel very appreciated. Lee, the hygienist was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a thorough job of cleaning my teeth, etc. Dr. Murchie , whom I have selected as my new dentist, spent ample time in explaining several issues that need to be addressed. During my second visit the following day, I was amazed by the modern gadgets, screening devices, and digital equipment that gives this practice cutting edge technology for treating various dental problems. Dr. Murchie repaired a cracked tooth and put me at ease during the entire procedure. This practice was recommended by my periodontist. Furthermore, I researched Dr. Murchie’s credentials and was very impressed. Since actually seeing him as a patient, I can say that I have great confidence in him and his staff. I also learned that there are several hygienists, another dentist, and other team members. I just have to include Amelia, in this review. She did all the scanning for Invisalign which I have decided to use for straightening my teeth to correct several problems. She was so patient, kind , and reassuring and just a sweet, jewel. I highly recommend Goochland Dentistry!!

Excellent service by all staff members. My first appointment was a great experience - from meeting the dentist and other staff members before my cleaning. I got to explain the history of my teeth before my cleaning. It speaks volumes to have such a caring practice that really care about their patients well being.

I love everyone at Goochland Dentistry! I came to Dr. Murchie about a year and a half ago and my teeth were a MESS. Dr. Murchie took great care of me! He mapped out the plan and did exactly that. He is extremely personable and remembers just about everything about everyone. My whole family sees him and we love him! I've been through extractions, bone grafts, implant, and a whole new tooth. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist to get me through it. I appreciate all of your at Goochland Dentistry!

A very good experience at this practice for this dentist wimp. Actually somewhat “enjoyed” having my cleaning done by Lee! Dr Murchie has a great sense of humor to go along with his expertise. Sam at front desk was very good taking care of my needs. Recommended! Another visit with Lee…have a gum issue, she did the deep cleaning…I am a gagger and a nervous Nellie and do really well as a patient with Lee. Thank you Lee for your expertise!

As someone who doesn’t look forward to going to the dentist, I was glad to have found this place. Keroles was very welcoming when he recommended that I give them a try. Christine and Dr Gillespie made my dental cleaning and evaluation a comfortable experience, they are very knowledgeable and I left the office well informed. Excellent experience overall.

My experience with the folks here at Goochland Dentistry has been without question the most positive experience I've ever had with a dentist. Everyone there is always helpful, and I have yet to have a bad visit. Dr. Murchie is incredibly skilled at his profession, as is everyone on staff. I cannot recommend them enough, they're the best! Thank you so much for all that you guys do!

Great practice. I started coming to this practice a couple years ago with very high anxiety and fear of the dentist. My hygienist Sami and Dr Murchie are very caring, and have great bedside manner. They talk you through everything. I actually look forward to my appointments now. All of the staff are amazing and helpful.

After some disappointing interactions with my former dental office, I was on the lookout for a new place. I’ve been driving past Goochland Dentistry for years and decided to give them a try. I’m really glad I did! Making the appointment was quick and painless online, as was completing new patient paperwork. (They have a nice app too that actually works.) Upon arrival to their modern and clean office, they had everything ready to go. The team was super friendly from the first moment. Had an office tour, quick intros to staff, and thorough conversation about my history and what was important to me with Samuel. (Plus a nice little welcome bag.) Then off to scans with Himani with a cool gadget that I’d never seen before. Next up meeting and thorough exam by Dr. Gillespie who is a real pro. Discussed every detail and made sure I was part of the process and comfortable throughout. Knew I was in a the right place. Final step an efficient cleaning (and nice chat a sentence at a time between processes) with hygienist Jennifer. Total experience was excellent. These folks are knowledgeable, super kind, and you don’t feel like you are just a number getting processed in and out. Thanks team - see you in six months!

Two unexpected appointments needed and Goochland Dentistry took me right away in December. Dr Murchie sized things up, identified the problem, brought me up to speed and sent me on my way. Always great to see ALL the employees at Goochland Dentistry. No matter the circumstances they make you feel the best about going to the dentist and give the best professional care ever!

The whole staff here is wonderful, patient, and kind. I’ve seen Dr. Murchie for many years and had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gillespie today, they’re both skilled, wonderful providers. Lee, my AMAZING dental hygienist, was so knowledgeable, gentle, and compassionate - she made this one of the best dental visits I’ve had in years (even if I did find out i have a bunch of tiny cavities from years without insurance/proper flossing). Lee took the time to answer all my questions about what she was doing, what best practices were for better dental health, and just had a lovely personality to be around. I hope to see her again at my next visit, but I know I’m always in good hands with the team here either way!

I have been going to Goochland Dentistry for many years and can't imagine moving on to anywhere else. From the hygienists to the office folks you can expect the highest quality service. If you have any anxiety about dental work, this will change your experience. Dr Murchie has brought together a team of really special people. I have a young granddaughter to prove it with her past dread of going to the dentist till she came to Goochland Dentistry!

Excellent experience. I absolutely hate going to the dentist and get severe anxiety about it. But I needed to get work done so I set an appointment. They make the process easy, painless, and most importantly, the staff LISTENS to you. They don't judge, and they just want to make you healthy and happy. I have very sensitive teeth and I made it through with almost zero pain. I'd highly recommend Goochland Dental to anybody who has anxiety about the dentist!

I have been pleased with the service since day 1. Having dental trauma has caused me not get the proper care I needed for my teeth. I am on my way to a healthy mouth with the help of the staff at Goochland Dentistry. From the receptionist to dental assistants it has been a welcoming environment, everyone is so pleasant....Please don't change !

I cannot go to see the dentist that is why I have issues with my teeth but these people are so professional they didn’t terrify me like the other dentist offices and they were able to take care of my issues. I did not have a panic attack like I had at the previous dentist offices thank you so very much!!!

As my appointment neared I was a little apprehensive, because my previous experience at another facility did not go well. Upon entering gouchland dentistry I was greeted with warm courtesy and efficient professionalism. My overall experience was very pleasant, thoughtful, thorough and informative. I look forward to my upcoming procedures and an end to my long standing oral discomfort. I would very highly recommend Dr. Murchie and his entire staff. Job well done. Thank you

First time at Goochland dentistry today and had a great visit. Sara was quick to take my X- rays and get me set up for the rest of my appointment. She was very kind and attentive. I regret not remembering the names of all the staff that assisted me because they were all so personable and professional. I was surprised with how quick my visit was and would highly recommend this dental office to anyone else!

Wonderful preregistration process, only waited 2 minutes tops, before being taken back to a very pleasant office with a wonderful person to welcome me. He gave me a beautiful gift bag, went over everything to expect. As soon as has he was done, both the dentist and the dental assistant came in and were introduced to me. They were both INCREDIBLE! Their technology is amazing! By far THE BEST EXPERIENCE I’ve ever had in a medical setting! I would give 6 stars if I could ☺️

The doctors and staff at Goochland Dentistry are fabulous! Dr. Gillespie is wonderful and is so knowledgeable, she answers any kind of question I can think of and really cares about my wellbeing. If you have any anxiety about visiting the dentist they really help make it comfortable for you. I used to dread going to the dentist, but now I always leave feeling so good knowing my teeth are well taken care of. I will be a patient as long as they are around, highly recommend if you are looking for a great office to take very good care of you. Thanks for all that y’all do!

I had billing issues in the past and stopped going to this clinic for a while, but I can't get away from Dr. Murchie. He's always good and friendly. He always tries to make personal connection and show genuine care for his patients. Staff now are equally friendly especially Christine, who is very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you!

Today I had another great appointment at Goochland dentistry. I had some questions about how to do a better job brushing , using my electric toothbrush. The dental hygienist was really a great educator. Dr Murchie was also super friendly as he checked out my teeth. Overall, they are great dentists. I’ve been going there for over 10 years.

Today was the first time I walked into this office. I have an appt for next week for a cleaning, but a few days ago one of my teeth broke in half and I made an appt for today to take care of that. Everyone from appt to registration to check out was very pleasant and I felt very comfortable. I saw Dr Murchie and he told me he felt like we could save the tooth and crown it. That was SO refreshing to me because my previous dental office would have pulled it and told me I needed an implant (it happened that way a few years ago with same type of break). I was looking for a smaller family oriented practice that would go for conservative measures first and, if all goes well with my crown and subsequent appointments, I believe I’ve found my new dental office! Thank you Dr Murchie and staff for a pleasant experience!

Going to the dentist is never a fun experience. But, Dr Murchie and his team are so amazing! They are warm, friendly, charismatic, and true professionals. I was the first to go to him, and since then I’ve brought in about twelve other patients. That’s how much I like, and trust the team. Would recommend over and over.

Dr. Gillespie and her assistant, Himani, were great. Their use of technology, especially the 3D scan, helped me actually see some problem areas. Dr. Gillespie explained the images and came up with a plan to address an issue that was bothering me. I was worried about the pain due to some gum issues but Dr. Gillespie had me numb and the issue addressed painlessly. The office was easy to find, clean, and comfortable. Everyone was friendly and the check in and out process was super fast.

I’ve been going to Goochland Dentistry for at least a couple years now for regular checkups, and I also went through the Invisalign process. I really like the outcome and the way my teeth look, there is such a difference from before! Everyone in the office is very kind, professional, friendly and efficient. I’m so happy I switched from my prior dentist☺️
