I've never been afraid of the dentist…read more... So, I went to a children's dentist until he moved out of state and I was in my mid 20's, embarrassing, I know. I was a dental nightmare when I was a child! I spent many, many years getting my teeth pulled, then straightened, then cleaned, so we had a great relationship. The time eventually came when it was time for me to find a new dentist, I was referred to this office and I love it! I see Doctor Miler in this office and he could not be nicer. He's kind, funny, friendly and gentle. I can't recommend Doctor Miler and his office staff enough. He actually makes visiting the dentist a pleasure. I've even seen him outside of the office and he remebers my name, that's a good dentist.

Aspen Dental is VERY predatory. I went there to fix a small chip in my front tooth... and it took…read more10 months and over $8,000 to get it fixed. I was first told I needed a cleaning, then a gingivitis protocol (3 appointments) - though an outside dentist confirmed I never had gingivitis. Then I was told they couldn't use composite, so I'd need a crown. Then I was told before I could get crowns, I needed to straighten a SINGLE UNRELATED bottom tooth with motto liners - another $3,000. Then I was told I should whiten my teeth before crowns - another $500. THEN I was told I should get two crowns instead of one so my front teeth match - another $4,500. I was very explicit about wanting crowns 1 mm longer than my original front teeth (time had eroded their height significantly). My dentist told me to 'be picky' with the crowns. When they showed me my crowns, they were even smaller than my original teeth. I again asked for them to be made slightly longer, but my dentist declined/said he couldn't do that. AFTER placing the crowns, I was informed that I should not bite crunchy things (apples, carrots) with my front teeth - ever. I wish I would've known that before I got them. So, after a year and over $8,000, I have crowned front teeth that look smaller and much worse than the teeth I originally wanted fixed.

I mean, I used to go to the very first Park Dental that was in Brooklyn Center growing up and then that chain just blew up. With that blowing up(went to the Grand location), I never had the same dentist or friendly service or care that I used to receive. It was nice but it felt like a factory and when you are all up in there, I kinda want to know you. And now I do. Paul is awesome and the staff at the office are alway top-notch. I get my reminder calls and scheduling is always accommodating to what my work schedule is. You need someone in Highland, the Mendes Family Dentistry is the place to go.

I have been going to the Mendes office off and on for 6-7 years now. I could not love this office…read moremore. The dentists are so knowledgeable and nice. The front desk staff is great and is very helpful when it comes to insurance, which can be tough as a patient. I actually stopped going here a couple years ago as my insurance changed. I went twice to a Metro Dental and was so unimpressed I changed my insurance at the beginning of the year so I could go back. My wife had started going there before we got married and I got on her insurance just to go to Mendes. If you're looking for a great local dentist, this is your place.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Middling Dental Office--particularly with…read morethe office manager, Lisa--was both disturbing and deeply unprofessional. I called as a state employee in severe dental pain, seeking care from Dr. Midtling, who is listed as an in-network provider for my plan. I was met not with empathy, but with dismissiveness and hostility. Lisa immediately seemed irritated by my voice--perhaps making assumptions about me based on how I sound as a Black man--and made it clear she "didn't want to help," especially without a referral. I explained that I was told to speak directly with Dr. Midtling, and that I was in legitimate, urgent pain. Her response was to rudely talk over me, rush me off the phone, and when I pleaded for a moment to explain--saying "Jesus Christ, lady, just let me speak"--she abruptly hung up. What happened next was beyond unprofessional: Lisa took it upon herself to call me back on my state work phone to threaten me. Let that sink in: a patient, in pain, being harassed at work by a dental office staff member simply for trying to receive care. I don't know what kind of practice this is, or how behavior like this is allowed to continue--but I can say this is not how patients should be treated. Not with this level of hostility. Not with this level of disregard. And certainly not with this type of racial bias and power abuse. I deserve better. Every patient does.
