My six year old had her first cavity filled today. I was dreading the appointment because of her…read moreanxiousness surrounding dental visits, but the team at Sunshine made this appointment go so smoothly. They played a movie she requested on the tv, explained everything they were doing before they did it and really made her feel at ease. I could not be more grateful!

My child was referred here by out dentist for a dental procedure where they recommended my seven…read moreyear old get 4 caps on baby teeth as an oral procedure (our dentist does not complete oral surgery on children). We did the procedure, everything went great, they were paid the $4,000 for the procedure. We went to our follow up appointment, everything healed nicely. We continued to see our regular dentist for the next 2 years with regular checkups, no cavities, and three of the 4 caps fell out with no issue. The last cap was difficult to come out when it fell out, it had a horrible odor, my son immediately got a fever, and then within two days developed half a dozen oral blisters on his tongue around the capped tooth area. His gums became inflamed and bloody. After a week of saline washes, mouthwash, peroxide cleaning and lots of oral hygiene we felt we needed to call the dentist. We called Sunshine since the issue was a result of the capped tooth. When we called the receptionist informed me that the capped tooth had fallen out and they had nothing to do with the things going on in his mouth and that we should wait a little longer. She then told us she could get us an appointment in 4 weeks. I told her the only reason I was calling was because my son has never had anything like this happen and it appeared to happen immediately after this cap fell out. She asked if we were seeing the dentist regularly and maybe it was a result of not seeing the dentist. I told her we go every six months to our regular dentist, upon which she told me again, since the cap fell out it was not their issue and they could see him as a new patient but couldn't guarantee they would be able to do anything. Needless to say, called our regular dentist back and they got him in within the same day. Don't give this place your money for oral surgery! Ask your dentist for another referral.

Since my husband is a general dentist, dental care for our kids was never something that we worried…read moreabout. That was until our 20mo old son developed horrible holes in front teeth. After bringing him to a well recommended peds dentist in Harrisburg, I left that appt feeling sick. They said at his age any work would have to be performed under anesthesia at a hospital! I was so scared!!! But then I decided to make the hour drive to Dr Miller in Lancaster after my husband was told all about him. And his father. Well, let me tell you... NO matter how many great things I had heard, they paled in comparison to the experience of being there!!! Not only is it a fun office (as you would think all offices directed solely at children would be) but EVERY detail was thought of to provide an exception service! From the amazingly warm and friendly front desk staff who instantly make you feel welcomed, to the jungle gym and toys in the waiting room which make the kids excited to be there, to the dentist's office with even more toys to entertain the kids and again put them even more at ease, to the assistants that are helpful and enthusiastic, to the actual exam rooms which will blow your mind!!! They are literally a toy room, complete with a working mechanical horse. Other than the fact that there is a dental chair and tools in the room, you would swear that you were just in a child's dream playroom!!!! So again, not only is this designed to be fun, it clearly is there for the purpose of taking as much of the fear and intimidation out of the situation as possible. And it works!!! Lastly, I can't say enough kind and positive words about Dr Miller... I have not stopped singing his praises from the very first appt on. His way with children is nothing short of magic (which he also does to put kids at ease)!!! He constantly speaks to them throughout the procedure to keep them as focused and calm as they can be. He sings, talks nonesense, jokes, anything and everything he can do... it almost mesmerizes them... he lets small children lie on you to again put them at ease (and help to hold them down) and works his magic as quickly and effectively as possible! How he maintains his concentration I am not sure, but at the speed of light it seems he is done... and the outcome is AMAZING! Again with a dentist in the house, they can be tough critics, but he too was amazed at the results!!! ALL of which was done with minimal to NO PAIN, NO HOSPITALIZATION, NO ANESTHESIA, NO TRAUMA, and NO HOSPITAL BILLS!!! I would recommend this practice (and do to anyone I have spoken with since the first appt) more than I have ever recommended anything or anyone! I don't take my children's health lightly, nor am I someone to often go online and write reviews, but I honestly have never felt so strongly compelled to do so. Please don't waste your time, money, or risk your children's dental health to ANYONE ELSE! They are worth the trip... they are honestly priceless!!!

This is probably one of the most fascinating and hilarious experiences I've ever had as a parent…read more When I say this I mean it's pretty incredible to see a father son team dress up like cowboys and engage with your child so they're able to feel comfortable getting their teeth checked. Let's face it, most of us grew up fearing and loathing the dentist much like we do the DMV. My daughter was in awe when she was there and she keeps talking about how fun it was. These guys are definitely passionate about their field and about taking the fear out of a child's dental experience Thanks guys!
