Why families in Middletown choose ADC
Our Middletown office on Watterson Trail is built for busy families. From your kids’ first dental cleaning to grandma’s denture fitting, you can handle every generation’s care under one roof — without driving across Louisville for a specialist. Same-day emergency slots are held open every weekday for cracked teeth, lost fillings, and sudden pain — because dental emergencies don’t wait three weeks for an opening.
We’re proud to be the kind of dental home Middletown families actually need:
- Family scheduling — book back-to-back appointments for parents and kids in the same visit. One trip, everyone done.
- Tuesday evenings until 7pm + Saturday-morning availability via our other locations — real hours for working parents who can’t take time off for a cleaning.
- All-in-one specialist care — implants, cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, sleep apnea appliances, all handled here. No referrals to specialists across town.
- Same-day emergency appointments every weekday. If your kid breaks a tooth at school, call us — we’ll get you in.
- Major insurance accepted, in-house membership plan for the uninsured, flexible financing. No one should put off necessary dental care because of cost.
- Five locations across Louisville — Middletown is part of a family-owned group of clinics, so if your work or school is closer to Preston Highway or St. Matthews, you have options.
We’re not a corporate dental chain. We’re a family practice founded by Dr. Rachel Talis with 25+ years in Louisville, and the Middletown team treats every patient — kids, parents, grandparents — like family.
Meet your Middletown dentists
Two of our dentists practice at the Middletown / Watterson Trail location:
Dr. Gene Ramey, DMD — Lead Dentist (Middletown 4 days/week)
A University of Louisville School of Dentistry graduate with 30+ years in Louisville private practice, Dr. Ramey is the dentist you want when experience matters. He’s a U.S. Army National Guard veteran with a patient-centered, education-focused approach — meaning he takes the time to walk you through your treatment options before recommending anything. Dr. Ramey is at our Middletown office four days a week, making him the dentist most established Middletown families see.
Dr. Thu Nguyen, DMD — General Dentist (Middletown one day/week)
A Louisville native (originally from Vietnam) and University of Louisville graduate, Dr. Nguyen is known for the kind of compassionate, trust-building care that turns first-time patients into long-term ones. She especially loves working with kids and patients who are nervous about the dentist’s chair. Dr. Nguyen sees Middletown patients one day a week — call (502) 245-5620 to ask about her schedule.

The Middletown neighborhood
Our Middletown office sits on Watterson Trail in the heart of Middletown — easy access from I-265 (Snyder Freeway), about four minutes from Middletown Park, and a quick drive from the Anchorage, Lyndon, Eastpoint, Crestwood, Fern Creek, and Jeffersontown neighborhoods we serve. Until our Jeffersontown office opens in September 2026, this is also the closest ADC location for J-town families.
A few things Middletown families tell us they appreciate:
Free on-site parking right at the door. No parking garage, no meters. Pull up, walk in, you’re in the chair within minutes.
Easy in, easy out from anywhere east. From I-265, it’s a quick exit at Shelbyville Road or Westport Road — straight to Watterson Trail. Coming from Anchorage, Lyndon, or Crestwood? You’re 5-10 minutes away. Coming from Fern Creek or Jeffersontown? About 10-15 minutes via Taylorsville Road.
School-pickup-friendly. If your kids attend Middletown Elementary, Christian Academy of Louisville, Eastern High School, or any of the J-town schools, our location works for after-school cleanings — beat the traffic, get the appointment done, head home.
The whole eastern corridor knows us. We see Middletown residents, Anchorage families who don’t want to deal with downtown parking, Lyndon retirees, Eastpoint commuters, Crestwood newcomers, Fern Creek families looking for an all-in-one practice — and increasingly Jeffersontown patients waiting for our J-town location to open.
A note for our newer Middletown neighbors: if you’ve recently moved to the eastern suburbs and are looking for a family dentist who’ll see kids, parents, and grandparents under the same roof — that’s exactly what Dr. Ramey and the Middletown team do here. New-patient appointments are usually available within the same week.
What Middletown patients are saying
Advanced Dental, located in Middletown, gave me the best experience I’ve ever had at a dental clinic. From the front desk to the assistants and the doctor, the entire staff was incredibly kind and professional. Even with my language barrier, they made me feel comfortable and well cared-for.
Gy Lo, Google review (9 months ago) ★★★★★
GREAT, informative, helpful group of people — from the front desk staff to the dental assistant, to the dentist! I could tell they each actually cared. Even fit me in for tooth pain when I was not yet an established patient.
Patricia Bardin, Google review (6 months ago) ★★★★★
I was in a lot of pain. The staff was very helpful and I was seen almost immediately after arriving. The office is modern, bright and clean. The doctor was knowledgeable and careful. Highly recommend.
