Nathan, Financial Coordinator

Hello my name is Nathan Gile. I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity of becoming an owner of Gile Family Dentistry with my wife, Natalie. I will be here to answer any financial or insurance questions you might have.

I was born and raised in north central Kansas and no, I don’t know Todo. I was raised a Cornhusker and had always wanted to live in Nebraska, so I chose to attend Hastings College in 2006. I transferred to UNK in 2008 and received my bachelors of business administration with emphasis in management in 2011.

Outside of the office I enjoy fishing, hunting, playing golf and ,of course, spending most of my days with our baby girls Navy Mae and Nellie Lou. I am very excited to be back in Kearney after living in Lincoln for four years while Nat attended UNMC. With my parents living here in Kearney as well, it is safe to say Kearney is my second home. I am looking forward to meeting our amazing patients and providing care to our community.

Ashlie, Receptionist

Hi my name is Ashlie, I am the receptionist at Gile Family Dentistry. You may know me from the phone calls or greetings when you walk in the door. I have been working in the dental field for years now, and my true passion is the interactions with patients. I enjoy every conversation and truly getting to know the financial and scheduling needs of each individual.

My husband Zane and I are both Kearney natives and love being able to stay in Kearney as we grow in our lives. We occupy our time outside of work with friends, travel, reading, and our animals. Next time you’re in, make sure to show me pictures of your animals or recommend a good book, and we may just become best friends! I look forward to catching up and am excited to meet all future new patients!

Shelly, RDH

Hi my name is Shelly Ryan. I’m a small town girl that grew up in several Nebraska towns and graduated from Ord. I’ve worked in Hastings, Omaha and Lincoln before coming back to Kearney for the 3rd time to raise our kids. My husband Scott and his family farm is in the Mason City area for us to enjoy. We have 2 kids, Trevor and Whitney, who keep me busy with their activities. Soccer, football, basketball, volleyball, track, kayaking, biking, hunting along with games and movies keep us going.

I started my dental path in 1992 for dental assisting. Dental hygiene was my ultimate goal because I enjoy working hands on with individuals. Educating people to help with oral care to improve their overall health is my mission. Getting to know my patients on a personal level is something I enjoy. Can’t wait to meet you for your next hygiene visit.

Hi my name is Natalie! I’m so glad I have the opportunity to work for Gile Family Dentistry. I grew up in Kearney and graduated KHS in 2020. I’m currently waiting to get into dental hygiene school to become a dental hygienist. I like to spend most of my free time with friends and family. Being an aunt is one of my favorite things in the world, I have two nephews, Eli and Wyatt, and two nieces, Navy Mae and Nellie Lou who mean the world to me!

I have been working for Gile Family Dentistry since February 2022. I work alongside Dr. Gile as the assistant. She has trained me and is such a joy to work with! My favorite part about working at Gile Family Dentistry is helping patients and making them happy. I love seeing people become more confident with their smiles! I also enjoy working with my coworkers as they make the office such an inviting and fun place to work at!
