John Minye, DDS

Being terrified of the dentist… my last visit was over… WAIT FOR IT…12 years ago! I couldn’t be more satisfied with the care I received. It was overwhelmingly genuine and sincere. Every aspect of my visit was clearly explained to me and left me feeling confident and happy and WANTING to return. I can’t thank this office enough for not chasing me off with scary equipment… and making this a fun experience. After all was said and done… I’m grateful that my mouth is on its way back to being a million dollar smile!

Dr. Minye has great bedside manner, he took extra time to answer all my questions and ask about my preferences. I notified him that I am sensitive to too much anesthesia and that typical doses leave me numb for days. I was pleased when he used ¹⁄₃ less and the numbness wore off an hour after the procedure. I really felt heard by Dr. Minye. The teeth cleaning I had was also excellent.

I never would have thought of «pleasant» as a way to describe a visit to the dentist before today. But today was my first visit to Dr. John Minye’s office in Santa Rosa. What a refreshing treat!
The office itself is comfortable and modern, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. But the real treat was spending time with Dr. Minye. It was my first visit, and he spent considerable time getting to know me, my dental history and everything related to my teeth and general health.
Not only is Dr. Minye a good listener, he is very empathetic – which is a HIGHLY important skill set for someone who does work as intimate as dentistry. Even during a simple cleaning, he continually checked in with me to see if I was comfortable. He was thorough and competent in his work, and made a point to explain everything he was doing or about to do as he went through the process.
I was so relaxed I could hardly believe I was in the dentist’s chair!
If you are nervous about dentists or concerned about pain, or if you just want a compassionate, likable person on the other end of the hands in your mouth, this is the guy to see.

I recently had my teeth cleaned at Dr. Minye’s office. Dr. Minye sat down with me for quite a while and we talked about my dental history as well as my preferences for any treatment in the future. He is a good listener and really cares about his patients! He explained everything he was doing during the cleaning. He spent a lot of time cleaning my teeth and I could definitely tell he did a good job with how clean they felt! He also gave me some great advice regarding teeth whitening and the type of toothbrush I should be using. I will definitely be back. I recently relocated and had to find a new dentist. I’m so glad I found one that I am comfortable with and can happily refer to friends and family!

Great, laid-​back dentistry. A very non-​stressful environment, and Dr. Minye is always very nice and has a calming presence.

I love my dentist! Dr. Minye is fantastic. I recently had to have six veneers replaced by crowns and was a bit nervous about how they would look. The work is immaculate and he is both gentle and keeps the patient informed at all times. My family and many friends have been seeing Dr. Minye for years and recommend him as top notch!

I’ve been going to Dr. Minye for 11 years now and have always found he and his staff professional and as pain-​free as you can get! Dr. Minye is now personally doing teeth cleaning and I have never had such a thorough yet gentle cleaning in all my 67 years (well 60 with teeth I guess).
