Great, knowledgeable staff and Dr. Minger was very thorough, professional and got the job done very quickly. It felt like I had been going there for years but it was only my second visit. They knew my name, asked me if I'd like water, if I wanted to brush / floss since it was just after lunch. All in all, awesome awesome place.

I have been to many dentists in my life and my experience with Dr. Minger and her staff was hands down the best that I have ever encountered. The office is state of the art, the receptionists are kind, and Dr. Minger knows exactly what she is doing. She performs her work with a gentle touch and makes you feel safe. I hardly knew that she was putting in a post and rebuilding my tooth. She did an excellent job and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Minger and your amazing team! You are the best!!!

I love ALL you so much! Your SERVICE is TOP of the line. I would and will recommend you to all of my friends and family. Your staff and Drs. are are all highly professional and highly educated and makes it feel like positive nice experience. Whereas other dentist offices don't make you feel at home. I would always recommend your office to everyone looking for an amazing talented team of amazing staff and DRS. Who will always take care of their beautiful SMILES! <3 THANK YOU for making it so pleasant every time I come in.

I've had my teeth bonded 5+ times over the last 20 years, and she did the best job of all! Dr. Minger paid great attention to detail and honestly cared about my opinion. She asked what I was looking for at the beginning, and her work exceeded my expectations. Thanks so much! I needed that even more than I knew :)
