 Meet
the Doctor
Dr. Gary Pool
Dr. Gary L. Pool established his orthodontic practice in
Warner Robins, Georgia in October, 1987. He received his doctorate
degree in dentistry from the Medical College of Georgia and
his master's degree in orthodontics from the University of
Tennessee in Memphis. He received his undergrad degree from
the University of Georgia.
While going through braces as a teenager in Tifton, Georgia,
Dr. Pool became interested in orthodontics. As he continued
in his education, he saw incredible potential to help people
gain confidence, self-esteem, and improve their oral health
through orthodontia. Also, as a camp counselor for many years
with 4-H he enjoyed working with children and teens. Dr. Pool
still specializes in tailoring treatment given to each patient,
young or old, and works for that perfect smile, the goal of
each personalized treatment plan.
 Dr.
Pool and his wife, Kima, are actively involved in raising
their three children, Brannon, Rebecca, and Mary Ivy. Kima
serves as the parent liason at Bonaire Middle School and directs
the Vacation Bible School Program at Central Baptist Church.
As a couple they teach the eleventh and twelfth grade youth
and are involved with the youth programs. Dr. Pool also serves
as a deacon at Central. His deepest commitments are serving
God, his family and his patients.
Dr. Pool's hobbies include hunting, fishing, golfing and
snow skiing. Growing up on a farm in Tifton, he prefers the
outdoors and wide-open space to shopping malls or television.
Dr. Pool feels he has been blessed with a job he enjoys and
a wonderful staff. We hope that each visit to our office is
a pleasant experience and we thank you for choosing us at
your orthodontic care giver.
