  I was not a patient, but they were able to see me late on a Friday afternoon, had to have a tooth pulled and bong graft put in. They did an amazing job and thanks so much for your help!

  This post is from Jerry Hartsock who says, "Dr. Mayer was careful to make sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the procedure.  I give him my highest rating, and I am grateful, as a new resident, to have found Mills River Family Dental."

  Loved my new hygienist SD. She did a good job, was friendly and kind. I would have been out quicker if the X-Ray had worked, headlight hadn't gone out and she hadn't run out of water. But she made the experience pleasant, look forward to seeing her for years to come.

  Checked in early.  On time i was called to my appointment. The technician was new to me.  She was quite pleasant set about the task of cleaning my teeth with no delays.  I was very pleased with her work and would recommend her to family & friends!

  This was my first visit here, and from Lauren to Megan to Dr. Shash, I cannot say enough about the exceptional care I received. The entire team that worked with me provided such wonderful treatment, and I left feeling much better than when I arrived. I will definitely be returning for all my future needs.

  I recently saw Dr Dolezar and was excellent.  She took the time to install my crown perfectly and put my anxiety at ease ahead of and during my appointment w her.

  Just a cleaning and adjustment on my crown.  Everything was exceptional.  My hygenist, Sarah DIane is fantastic at what she does and is always a hoot.  Possibly the best hygenist I have ever had in my 60+ years of going to a dentist.
