About Us
Dr. Matthew Gawlas, DMD
Early Inspiration
Dr. Gawlas knew from a rather young age that he wanted to be a dentist. He himself spent many hours in the chair as a child and saw the difference a happy and healthy smile made for him. He wanted to give that same feeling to others, confidence in smiling.
Patient Advocacy and Care
Dr. Gawlas is an advocate for his patients, making them healthier and happier as he restores and maintains their oral health which directly affects their overall wellbeing. In doing such, Dr. Gawlas performs thorough exams and gets to know all aspects about his patients and their medical history to ensure he is offering his patients the optimum care possible.
Professional Journey
Dr. Gawlas spent the first 5 years of his dental career out west in Denver, CO. He and his wife Maggie are avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts, so they thoroughly enjoyed everything the Rocky Mountains had to offer. As much as they loved Colorado, all of their family resides in DE and PA, and in 2018 they decided to move back east. Dr. Gawlas spent the last 4 years practicing in Bear and Middletown, DE before purchasing Dr. Rowen’s practice in 2021.
Family Comes First
As a father of 3 girls, Maclynne, Grae, and Kennery, Dr. G puts a strong emphasis on family. From beaches to lakes, soccer fields to dance recitals, much of his time outside the office is spent with his crew! He loves to travel, cook, and passionately enjoys all things sports. He is excited to get to know each and every patient that chooses Gawlas Family Dental to be their dental home and will treat you as if you were part of the family.
Dr. Todd Rowen, DMD
