Dr. Miner is an amazing pediatric dentist. She is very kind and professional. Dr. Miner always makes sure that my daughter feels comfortable during the exam or procedure. Her staff is also very nice and professional. My 10 year old daughter is never afraid to go for her dental appointment anymore.
I would 100% recommend Dr. Miner.

I want to thank Dr. Miner, her assistant Sam and the rest of her staff for being so attentive to my son's needs. She was able to provide us with several treatment options to best suit my son's needs and to ensure that this experience was as stress free as possible. I think it is so great that she treats children at CCMC in order to address all of the patients needs at one appointment.
If I could this office 10 stars, I would!

Please get another opinion before choosing this office. Office tried selling me caps for my 3 year olds teeth before we even had a consult. They told us my child needed to have all of her molars capped under anesthesia. The dentist told us she had 6 cavities. We went for 2 other opinions. Turns out she only had 2 cavities and they only needed to be filled. Much too of an aggressive and unnecessary approach in my option and I’m glad I decided to go somewhere else instead of putting my child thru all of that.

My children and grandson are long-time clients of TLC Pediatric Dentistry. All our interactions have been great. The staff, hygienists, and Dr. Laura are professional as well as very caring and respectful of their patients and their families. Dr. Laura does not push unnecessary treatments and is honest about options available to remedy situations. Appointments are on-time with little to no wait prior to receiving treatment. I only wish Dr Laura handled adult dentistry - I would be one of her patients.

Took my 7 and 6 year old here for a routine checkup once about a year ago coming from a previous pediatric dentist in NY each with no cavities. All of a sudden my 7 yr old has 3 cavities and my 6 yr old has 4 or 5. Red flag went up for me when just the yr prior they had none. Right away they wanted them on happy air to fill cavities. Never went back found a new dentist a yr later. Just had their appts with the new dentist and what do you know, no cavities. I would suggest getting another opinion before proceeding with anything here. Not to mention the moody demeanor of the front desk lady! No smile

Dr. Miner and her staff are amazing! Being a dental assistant myself, I am very picky about who treats my child. I can say with 100% confidence that I trust Dr. Miner to give my son the best treatment possible. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional. My son actually looks forward to his dental appointments!
