Mill District Dental

I returned from abroad with a dental emergency. Dr. Peters and his staff made time for me the next day despite the fact that their schedule was full. The entire (rather serious) procedure took 40 minutes with no waiting whatever and was carried out with good humor and great efficiency. I am so grateful to have this clinic so close by. I live in the building, so of course this is convenient for me, but it is probably the most convenient clinic in the Downtown area, and the fact that Dr. Peters and his staff are so fantastic is icing on the cake. This is a great clinic, and Dr. Peters and his staff treat their patients like friends and family.

Goodness: how many ways can I sing the praises of Mill District Dental???
I HATE going to the dentist. Even when I’m going to a wonderful dental office with incredible hygienists and an excellent doctor, I still JUST HAAAAATE IT. I hate the way you get poked and prodded (and doesn’t it always hurt a little?!), and I really hate being judged for my lack of flossing technique, or whatever.
Today’s cleaning appointment — my first at Mill District, and my first dental appointment in quite a while (see above) — was completely different. The office is beautiful and comfortable, and you feel as though you might be sitting in a friend’s perfectly-​decorated living room while you’re waiting in the lobby.
Larissa, the hygienist, was the most kind, compassionate, non-​judgemental soul you can imagine — and she even managed not to hurt me while doing an incredibly thorough job! I was already sold on this clinic, and vastly less anxious than at any previous dental appointment in memory; and then Dr. Peters came in.
Within moments of his entering the room, I had zero anxiety whatsoever, simply thanks to his presence. That has literally NEVER happened to me in a dentist’s chair. He has the most warm, gentle, competent, kind presence, and he actually looks as though he loves what he does. I am now a patient for life. This was a completely next-​level dental care experience. THANK YOU Mill District Dental! (heart symbol!)

Appreciated the thorough exam and encouragement. Everyone is always so friendly. Appreciate the varied hours to make scheduling convenient around work hours.

I chose this dental office based on convenience as it’s located in the basement of my building and am very happy with the choice. Physically, the office is beautiful and the staff is extremely friendly, professional without being stuffy. They do all of the normal dental work but also botox, which is a new, interesting trend. Initially, I was leery bc Dr. Peters is pretty young and I usually prefer very experienced ppl but his office has all the technology, he diagnosed/​treated an issue that I’ve long known was there but my old DDS didn’t treat (a snaggle/​dead tooth) and he did it with precision of a seasoned dentist. He even fixed my old filling that was snagging the dental floss, on the rare occasion when I do it. Costs were communicated upfront and were on-​par with my guestimates.
Parking is off-​street, free, in the retail garage. It’s kind of difficult to find but it’s accessed off 11^th Ave/​2^nd Street S. One extremely minor constructive criticism is maybe a few too many communications. Again, not a big deal, but I received texts, emails and phone calls for each appt to remind and to confirm. Overall, it’s a fantastic office that I’d definitely recommend to others.

Dr. Peters and his staff made our entire family feel welcome and at ease. We recently moved to Minneapolis with our two children (ages 9 and 14) and it’s nice to have found a dental office that suits all four of us!
I’m very picky about our dental care, having worked in the industry, and am very impressed with this office and recommend it highly.

They recommended an excessive treatment plan. Six fillings, for everything that looked like an incipient cavity they could find on the X-​rays. The explanation was given to me quickly and coldly. I checked the X-​rays with two previous dentists who disagreed, saying I did not need any fillings.

After the past year, trying to find the perfect dental office/​staff after my current dentist retired was challenging. I, recently, happened to come across an advertisement in a local magazine for MDD while sitting in a doctor’s office in Uptown waiting for a relative. I made an appointment and found MDD was nothing short of super impressive; I could not have been more pleased and happy with, absolutely, everything about it! Each one of the staff members could not have been more professional, detailed and attentive, the office is truly gorgeous, ultra modern and geared toward the comfort and confidentiality of the patient. I am so thrilled to have, finally, found my new ‘dental home’!!!
