Angela Gum D.D.S.

I've been a patient of Dr. Gum for years! She's fantastic! Thorough, compassionate, gentle and respectful of my needs during procedures. She wants me to be comfortable. I appreciate that! I've seen Dr. Gum for cleanings (so clean!), fillings, and 2 crowns. Crowns are made in house, so no temporary crowns. Office staff and hygienists are delightful people and as competent as the doctor herself. I look forward to my 6 month cleanings to see this great group again! I'm thankful I found such a wonderful dentist who cares for my teeth and me!

Dr. Gum is one of a kind. I travel all the way from Akron which is two hours away from her office just to see her! She is the best dentist in the state in my opinion! Go see her if you are looking for a friendly, caring and no pressure Doctor. She and her staff are amazing!

I loved my experience with Dr. Gum. The office has a comfortable vibe, everyone is really nice, and the quality of work by the whole staff is amazing! If you live in Columbus I highly recommend her. 5 stars hands down!

I’ve waited over a year to post this, and I am still experiencing pain to this day since going here. I’ve seen her get defensive on other people’s posts and try to disregard their experience so I’ve been avoiding posting, but Ive finally decided to warn people anyway. Because of her I ended up having to have two root canals that I never would have needed had I just went somewhere else because she was negligent and drilled too deep for a routine filling. See below if you’d like the story. I have always had nearly perfect teeth. I never had braces, no sensitivities, and I’ve only had maybe a couple of small cavities prior to my visit here. When I moved to Columbus I decided to visit Angela Gum’s office, and she told me I had five cavities. This was a shock even though she told me they were minor, and I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while so I believed her. She then did fillings on three of the teeth and during the drilling (even though I was numbed) I felt some pain. As I started gaining feeling in my tongue, I noticed that my one tooth was SO much lower, like I wouldn’t have been able to chew food. Soon after I started gaining feeling the pain was just getting worse and worse. I went back in that day and they did a scan and told me I had “high pulp horns”. So basically they hit my nerves and were making excuses even though they had my X-rays to begin with. I call bullshit because I could feel with my tongue how low the tooth was and it was insane. She ended up referring me to another specialist to do a root canal for the tooth she believed to be causing the issue. I was certain it was more than one but they started with just that one. Sure enough the pain didn’t go away and they had to do a root canal on the other tooth too. When I tell you this is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced I mean it. I would’ve rather been shot. I tried every pain relief I could think of and nothing helped, not even the one she prescribed to me. She didn’t even offer to put my crowns on for free or even give me a significant discount (which was thousands of dollars by the way). I had dental insurance but it wasn’t covering this. Not the mention the root canals also ended up being around 500-600 each. She cost me a ton of money, my mental health, and my physical health all due to her negligence. I still have sensitive to this day when I drink water, and doesn’t even have to be that cold. I’m not sure if the specialist didn’t get all the nerves in the two teeth, or if she messed up the third one that bad too. I tell everyone I know to avoid her like the plague. And there’s another story similar to mine on yelp. I don’t know if there’s more, but this is already too many times. She’s lucky I’m not the type to sue.
