My name is Dennis. I am a front office administrator as well as patient management. I started working for Dr. Brockley and Dr. Gildersleeve as part of a family move. I am proud to say that Dr. Brockley is my brother and Dr. Gildersleeve is my niece. Before moving from Michigan to Pennsylvania, I was a block mason for 39 years. Working for a family practice has been a pivotal change in allowing me the ability to work later in life. Since working for Dr. Brockley and Dr. Gildersleeve, I have realized what my lifelong passion always was. I enjoy working with patients and getting to know them. After working with the patients for a while, some of them even become more like family and sometimes even describe our staff as family. I enjoy kayaking with Clara and our dogs. I also enjoy an occasional round of golf, spending quality time with my family, and traveling back to beautiful Northern Michigan to spend time with family and friends.

Hello! I’m Makayla, but I prefer going by Mik. I am one of our front office administrators, and I have been with the office since 2020. Besides front office administration, I have worked in the back office in instrument sterilization, and fun fact: This was my first job. I started at the office when I was in high school. I like typing up sedation schedules and organizing miscellaneous things around the office. I am a full-time college student at Slippery Rock University working on my bachelor’s degree in psychology, and I have an associate’s degree in criminology. In my free time, I like reading, writing, bonfires, concerts, and hanging out with friends.

My name is Shavon. I am a dental assistant here at Brockley Dental. I joined in the summer of 2024. Since then, I have enjoyed getting to know the patients and learning new aspects of dentistry along the way! I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity I was given and for how wonderful the staff is. Outside of the office, I love rescuing cats with my boyfriend and finding them the perfect home. I also enjoy being outside to tend to my garden or just to sit on the porch with a nice cup of tea! I can’t wait to keep meeting more patients here; new patients or ones who say they have never gone to any other dentist. My favorite thing about the patients is the loyalty they have for the best doctors around!

Dr. Donald Brockley earned his doctorate degree in Dental Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine in 1972. He is a second-generation dentist and a legacy of the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, where his father, Dr. Charles R. Brockley, earned his doctorate in general dentistry in the year 1927. While attending the University of Pittsburgh, School of Dental Medicine, he held the office of Class Secretary for his graduating class. Following dental school, he chose to do his residency training at Wilmington Medical Center in Wilmington, Delaware, with a focus on research. Upon completing his residency, Dr. Brockley enlisted in the Navy during the Vietnam War Era as a Naval Officer. Dr. Brockley opened his own private practice in 1975 in Butler, PA, a historic town just 34 miles north of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Dr. Brockley held the office of President of the Butler County Dental Society.

My Name is Clara, I am our office manager as well as the financial coordinator. I started working for Dr. Brockley and Dr. Gildersleeve in April of 2023, after 25 years in the income tax field. My passion is working with people and making them smile. I have gone from finding people money through their income taxes to helping patients gain a smile they can be proud of. The best feeling since working in the dental field is seeing a patient walk into the office with their hands covering their mouth in embarrassment, to their hands down and being extremely proud of their new smile. Beautiful smiles really do change the outlook that a person has on themselves. The most important part of my job is helping patients find financing options to be able to accept the treatment they need. A tad bit of personal information about me is that I have been married for 37 years to the love of my life, Dennis, who is also an integral part of our team at Brockley Dental. I have 4 precious Shih Tzu that are introduced on BrockleyDental.com website and 2 goofy cats. In my spare time, I love to shop, spend time with my family, snuggle my dogs, and my favorite activity is kayaking in beautiful Northern Michigan.
