Same Great Dentists, Same Excellent Care

Dr. James Goots

My undergraduate studies were completed at West Virginia University with a B.S. in Exercise Physiology. I then decided to continue my studies and attend West Virginia University School of Dentistry where I received my DDS.

After school I moved to the Crystal Coast with my wife and Beaufort native Brittany Goots in May of 2023. I have enjoyed making Carteret County my new home and meeting so many wonderful people. Outside of dentistry, I like to spend time with my friends and family, as well as some hobbies that include basketball, golf, and anything to do with sports!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr.James Goots is a terrific dentist. He overlooked the rebuilding of my mouth through a difficult bridge and an implant. Everything was done promptly, looked terrific and the cost was reasonable. I can heartily recommend Dr. James Goots.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the most exceptional dental experience I have ever had. I approached the procedure with some apprehension due to unforeseen circumstances. I had been suffering for seven years until Dr. Goots provided relief. His compassionate, caring, and empathetic approach to my situation was greatly appreciated. The entire staff was also a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend their services. Dr. Goots has inspired me to return for my next appointment, scheduled in six months, making him my new local dentist. THANK YOU BEYOND WORDS!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an unexpected dental issue with my son, and Dr. James went above and beyond by coming in on a Sunday to fix his tooth. That level of care and dedication is hard to find. He was professional, compassionate, and made a stressful situation so much easier for us. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend him!

The office is run so smoothly by a professional and kind staff. Dr. Goots is not only a highly skilled dentist but also one of the most personable and friendly doctors I’ve met. He takes the time to listen and provides excellent care. Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Dr. Goots for a year now since my husband, Dr. David Robertson, retired. So, I had not seen another dentist for 43 years!
Recently I needed a three-unit bridge, something new for me.
Dr. Goots and his staff did a wonderful job! From the welcome to the dental services, all were excellent!  Dr. Goots was patient and professional, and my husband, a perfectionist, said my bridge is perfect!
Dr. Goots shares my husband's values of excellent patient care and top notch dentistry.  Morehead City is lucky to have him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient of the facility for ~20 years. Originally occupied by Dr. Robertson & staff, Dr. Robertson retired & sold his dental practice to Dr. Goots (2023/2024). Dr. Goots is a young man w/ extraordinarily excellent skills & patient acumen. He has maintained the same working staff - all of whom are exceptional. Kudos to everyone at Reel Smiles Family Dentistry.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had only positive experiences with the staff at Reel Smiles. Our first experience was an emergency extraction with our 9 year old while we were in town visiting. The entire staff made her feel safe and secure to the point that when we moved here permanently she refused to try any other dentist. They care about their patients, have amazing communication, and are a very clean dental office. Highly recommended!
