Uptown Dental

This is a women-​owned business, which is friggin awesome. Originally that’s why I was down with this place, but over the past two years they’ve won me over in tons of other ways.
It’s a small detail, but the magazine selection in their waiting room is thoughtful and amazing. All of the Vanity Fairs and Vogues you could ask for, and all of them are recent and new and clean. When you’re waiting for something potentially unpleasant at 7:30am, this is an appreciated touch.
I also consistently have the same dental hygienist (Sage) and dentist (Dr. Mirodone) for each appointment, which is great. It feels like they know my teeth, and after a half-​dozen visits I trust their judgement and advice. They’re both incredibly competent and lovely people. They caught a cavity SUPER early last year, and were able to simply scrub it off the tooth instead of drilling it out. Major thanks for that, guys. Needles are not my thing.
Plus they always book the next appointment with you on your way out, which I love, and they’re really good about sending email reminders and texts.
These women are the best dentists I’ve ever had.

It’s been over a year since I last had a cleaning. I’m generally the type that goes every six months. This office was great.
I called to make an appointment and they were scheduling three weeks out. That’s a sign of a popular clinic!
The waiting area is very clean and organized. The front desk staff were very friendly and explained my insurance benefits clearly.
My dental hygienest was Tony. He was a very friendly guy and took the time to get to know me a little. Working in the medical field, I know it’s important to get to know your patient a little and make them feel comfortable. Tony was very thorough with my cleaning, and it was the best cleaning I’ve had in many years.
I met with Dr. Koehnen briefly. She seemed very nice and double checked for cavities. I left with a little gift bag with a toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste. I don’t think I’ve been given one of these since I was a kid! It was a pleasant surprise to say the least.
Upon check out, the staff helped me pre-​schedule my next appointment. This will help me keep on top of my bi-​annual visits!

I’ve been going here for about 1.5 years and have had great experiences. I’ve seen both dentists and have been happy with them. The receptionist and hygienists are nice and professional too. It feels like everyone is giving me honest advice and not just what they can bill my insurance (which has been little more than X-​rays and cleanings so far). I always recommend this place to anyone who asks.

Wow. So, maybe ownership /​staffing has changed but when I went here a few years ago my teeth hurt for 5 DAYS when I left. No exageration. I really thought they might fall out of my head. At that point I’d never had a cavity and had been on a very strict regimine of teeth cleaning every 6 months so there was no need for a hard core cleaning. I didn’t go to the dentist for almost 1.5 years after this experience it was so bad. Not sure what the deal was. Glad to hear that others haven’t had this issue recently.

When I first started going to Uptown Dental I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time. But Chans and Dr, Mirodone made me feel very comfortable and clearly explained my treatment and options to me. I never thought I’d look forward to going to the dentist, but I do!

I have been going to Dr. Koehnen for the last few years. She’s very friendly, kind, gentle and has a great rapport with her patients. I appreciate the personability when I go to the dentist… as we all know it’s not the most desirable place we want to be.
Staff is great too… I always appreciate the reminder calls and friendliness.
Also, they give out great toothbrushes!

It’s all purple inside! Maybe it’s the owned and operated by women, or because it’s where Prince’s NPG store used to be. Dr. Koenen and Dr. Miradone are both great, as are Alli, hygienest extraordinaire, and the support staff. They are efficient, play great music, and make going to the dentist fun!
