"Dr. Mills and his entire staff are extraordinary .   I have never had a better experience with dentistry or the comforting environment the staff provides.  I have been under his care for over 20 years now and recommend he and his professional crew with confidence.  From reception to the assistants and himself --  I would provide 10 stars if available.  I have had some difficult and procedures that would normally make me very anxious but not with Dr. Mills and his staff.  I want to extend my thanks to all of them for providing me with exceptional care.  Thank you.  I will continue to encourage anyone in need of dental care to your offices."

"If you are looking for a dentist, run, do not walk, to Dr Mills. He is absolutely the best in town. And for someone who is terrified of going to the dentist, that's saying something. If you're afraid to go because your teeth are in bad shape, the fact that he offers oral sedation is a game changer. And he is the funniest, sweetest man who really cares about saving your teeth. Cannot recommend enough. Best staff in town as well - everyone is friendly and caring."
