Dr. Kate Gilson
Hi! I'm Dr. Kate Gilson. I graduated from Marquette School of Dentistry in 1999. After graduation. I completed a General Practice Residency at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, NJ. Since the completion of my residency. I have been in private practice in Waukesha, Wisconsin since 2003. I feel it's extremely important to stay current with the changes in the world of dentistry, which is why I attend several continuing education courses each year focusing on both general and cosmetic dentistry. l have also completed two mini-residencies in the area of dental implants. and an extensive course on lasers in dentistry. I am a member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association and the Waukesha County Dental Society. I have been chosen as one of the "Top Milwaukee-area Dentists" every year since 2015. The part of family dentistry that I enjoy most is having the opportunity to see patients of all ages, from toddler to adult. I enjoy getting to know each and every one of my patients, and consider myself very fortunate that they chose me to be their dentist.
I am originally from Oshkosh, and currently reside in Pewaukee with my husband. daughter. and twin boys. When I am not working or chauffeuring my kids to their various lessons, I enjoy reading, yoga, painting. and hanging out with my family.
