About Dr. Gilman’s life and his qualifications.
About Dr. Gilman
I have worked in Boise for 20 years, since 1997. I received my undergraduate from Utah State University and majored in Pre-med biology and laundry. It was my first time away from home. I then graduated with my Dental Degree (DMD) and an advanced degree in Rain Golf from dental school Oregon health sciences in 1995. I then earned my certificate in Orthodontics from New York University in 1997.
I loved living in New York City, but it gave me a whole new appreciation for living in Boise. I did miss the homeless man living on my front stairs. We bonded. I also learned that Boise smells better than NYC in the summer.
Family
My wife (to be), I hope, Bethany. She is from Boise and is in banking. I have four children. Likely the contributory factor to my gray hair on hair loss…my supermodel days are a distant past. Bella is attending San Diego State University, I am so proud of you. Watch out California drivers. Max is a good kid, but don’t tell him. Grace is my future Olympic gymnast. James is curious about the world. I have not chosen a favorite child. It really depends on who will take care of me when I am really, really old.
