Dr. Gilbert is a passionate dentist who recently moved to Ohio from Florida. Originally from Venezuela, she began her career in 2008 and has since dedicated herself to mastering both the art and science of dentistry. Her journey has taken her across borders and specialties—from advanced training in Endodontics in Colombia to her most recent AEGD residency at the University of Florida in 2025.

Bringing a world-class perspective to our local community, Dr. Gilbert understands that a visit to the dentist can feel like a big step. This is why she prioritizes a warm, “patient-first” philosophy, ensuring that every individual feels heard, comfortable, and cared for. She looks forward to helping you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve.

When she isn’t in the clinic, Dr. Gilbert loves exploring her new home in Ohio with her husband and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Logan. They are big fans of hiking and love taking road trips together, especially when it means Logan can come along for the adventure!
