Dr. Gould has been both my dentist and my family's dentist since we moved to Houston in 1977. He's great with patients, esp. kids and is very competent. Once when I thought I might need a crown, he decided a "patch" might hold for awhile. It did--for over three years. There may be other skilled dentists in Houston, but I would almost guarantee they would charge far more for the work. I've referred everyone I know to Dr. Gould and they have all been pleased with his work.
