Honestly, I was never a fan of the concept of pediatric dentistry. I knew it filled a need but I felt that pediatric dentists saw kids, did tooth by tooth dentistry without looking at the big picture of their long term dental health. Then, when my son was not cooperating at our family practice I found Dr. Mills. I love his comprehensive approach and his office is beautiful and staff is friendly. My son got his fillings and is doing well. Highly recomme d.

I was looking for a pediatric dentist for my kids so I called around some places on Yelp. This was one of them. The lady who answered the phone didn't sound very happy and told me I had to check if my insurance covered their services. This was the only place I had ever heard of in which the prospective patient has to find this out. Others I contacted, asked me for my insurance info to verify that. Needless to say, I won't be using their services.

Amazing office! Excellent example of interest and patience during the patient/staff interaction. Dr. Mills and his staff treat you with respect and professionalism. From the moment you walk in, you will be greeted and welcomed by their friendly receptionist, Karen. The dental hygienists are very competent and thorough, all while being friendly, gentle, and kind. I definitely recommend this practice!

My son was very apprehensive about going to the dentist for the first time. he loved the office and Dr. Mills spoke to us before we went back and was very calming to him even when he said he was scared but wasn't quite sure what he was scared about. All of the staff was extremely, kind, patient and had a calming effect on him. Got a two thumbs up as he had his teeth cleaned and a that wasn't bad at all on our way home.

Dr. Mills is an extraordinary dentist. He is gentle, soft spoken, kind, attentive, and extremely informative. My daughter loves to see him. After each appointment, he takes us to a separate room to explain how her mouth and face are developing. He is always sure to educate us about her whole self. The hygienists are all so kind. It is always a pleasure going to Dr. Mills' office. I feel very comfortable here and am grateful we found him.

My daughter has a lot of special needs, and she is more medically fragile. I personally made sure that it said in the chart to not use fluoride. My husband took her to Dr. Mills, and when the sheet came home, the ":fluoride treatment" box was checked. Sure enough I called and was told that they "didn't have the sheet in front of them, and Dr. Mills said that there was enough calculus build up that it was the best thing for him to do." Regardless of whether or not it was the best thing to do, it clearly stated to not give her fluoride in the chart. What if she was deathly

Cannot say enough how nice everyone was at Dr. Mills office, after my toddler fell and moved his 4 front teeth out of place. It was very easy to make an appointment, even as a new patient, the ladies at the front desk and hygenists were so sweet and concerned about him, and Dr. Mills was great. Also, they have the coolest waiting room I have ever seen, between the toys, aquarium, books, and video games.

This office was recommended to me after my children had 2 horrible, previous pediatric dental experiences. It was a blessing and my children came here until they finished college.
I wish I could have had a positive early experience with the dentist.
I do NOT understand why any parent would not want to take their children to a pediatric dentist ~ it makes a huge difference.
Everyone here is kind, patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and professional. The same hygienists have been there the whole time my children were patients.
