Change has characterized the past year here at Timothy E. Gillespie, DMD.  Retirements, people moving to other locales, and wonderful babies have all had an influence on the landscape of our practice.  Most recently, Michelle Baber has made the difficult decision to retire as her attention is being needed more on the homefront.  Michelle has been a staple in this practice... read more »
It seems that just about every week this summer (and now fall!) that I am introducing our practice friends and family to someone new. Well, there’s no revolving door here at Gillespie, DMD, but we have had some ch-ch-ch-ch-changes this year, what with Darlene retiring, Belinda moving, Donna going part-time, and now, Michelle going part-time! Our latest, greatest addition is... read more »
She’s back! Hygienist and the Official 2014 Chapstick Model for our office, Donna Barnhart is back from maternity leave! Feeling that motherly tug to spend time with her newborn, Chase, and older brother, Cooper, Donna will be working a three-day workweek with us until sometime in the not-too-distant future when the kiddies head off to grade school. For now, we love... read more »
Okay, so I really don’t want to wear this out since I’ve posted Rebecca all over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram already, but when someone works with you for 15 years, you just gotta tell the world! I’m so happy to have someone like Rebecca in my office. Working mostly as one of my dental assistants, but having willfully jumped into... read more »
We’re so glad to have Dr. Jaime Peterson joining our office on a full-time basis! Many of our patients will recognize this now-familiar face, as she has been working with us on a part-time basis for several months. After coming on board in November 2013, Dr. Peterson so quickly began to endear herself to patients and staff alike, that we... read more »

Chasing the Endless Summer just ended for Matthew.  Out the door this morning and off to Raleigh to report for work with the videography crew at NC State Athletics, he'll be accumulating a little walking-around money before school starts in a few short weeks, but also starting that slow, then faster walk into adulthood as he learns to make his... read more »
Our story begins in Wilson, NC, the BBQ capital of eastern NC,  with a precocious pastor’s daughter who has developed some very strong opinions about BBQ (stay tuned, this may become a matter of contention later!). Gradually going west, this young woman molds her interests in the arts and humanities into a degree in Art History with minors in Spanish... read more »
She’s really leaving me this time. The last time we talked about this, I convinced her to stay, but this time, I think she’s serious. Serious that is, if selling your house and moving out of town is serious, and I think it is. Yes, she’s really leaving me this time. Well, her husband has lived in Wilmington for the... read more »
It’s great to have hobbies, don’t you think? Not only do they allow us to access and explore areas of personal interest in our free time, but can form the basis for self-expression outside the workplace as well. Such is the case with my trumpet. For five years, I played in a 9-piece band with a group of friends; we... read more »
