These attributes, as well as a love of science, are the qualities that lead him to pursue a career in dentistry. He

saw it as a field in which he could be both an artist and a scientist. Other areas of interest include the Bible and Biblical apologetics, science and theology. He enjoys most sports, especially golf. Dr. Gunnels was raised in Mount Juliet. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, TN in 2001. After working for a year he decided to pursue other avenues. Josh wanted a people-oriented profession that encompassed his science background with his love for working with his hands. Dentistry has been a perfect fit. After finishing a few biology courses, he attended the University Of Tennessee School Of Density and graduated in 2008. Upon graduation he felt a strong desire to return home to Mount Juliet in hopes of starting a dental practice where he could serve the community with integrity, compassion and gentle care.
