Only dentists with extraordinary dedication to continuing education and constant improvement of their skill and knowledge get this level of recognition.

“ I cannot wait to wake up in the morning and get to work! I love what I do and I will practice dentistry as long as I physically can!”

This statement by Dr. Gotun says it all. Think about this for a minute:  What is there in your own life that makes you feel as passionate? You will feel and appreciate the difference this attitude can make in getting the care you need!

A healthy lifestyle is a great contribution to one's general well-being, as well as dental health. Former athlete, Dr. Gotun enjoys the great outdoors in any way he can, together with his wife, kids and his chocolate labrador.

In addition to educating himself continuously, Dr. Gotun teaches and he is now also involved in development of new technologies in dentistry and digital imaging. Traveling, photography and building computers are his hobbies.
