We are so thankful to have found Dr. Mintz - he has been on target with his treatment. He has a gentle manner, is kind and patient, and I trust him my daughter's care. After my daughter suffered locked jaw, a different specialist pushed drastic measures, was unwilling to answer questions, and made my daughter fearful of the dentist. Fortunately we found Dr. Mintz for a second opinion and his more cautious approach gave her steady improvement and his gentle manner took away anxiety.
