Patient Voices
Our Success Is in Their Smiles
Dr. Minahan is not only incredibly skilled and detailed in her work, but she’s also one of the kindest and most generous people I’ve ever met. She always went the extra mile to make sure I felt comfortable every step of the way—never rushing the process, always listening, and treating me with such care. We shared so many laughs and created some truly fond memories during my visits. She made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel easy, even fun!
And Ronda—what a gem! She’s the heart and soul at the front desk, juggling everything with such grace. She was endlessly patient with all my many (many!) insurance questions and always greeted me with warmth and a smile. Her genuine care and helpfulness made every visit feel like coming home.
These two make the ultimate dream team. I’ll honestly miss seeing them regularly! If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Minahan and Ronda. You’ll be in the best hands with a team that truly cares. 💖
Dr. Minahan took exceptional care with our daughter's braces, from the initial evaluation and check-ups to the placement, eventual removal of the braces, and finally the fitting of retainers. The entire experience was smooth and highly convenient for us here in Olney. Even when issues arose, Dr. Minahan efficiently resolved them, achieving great results with minimal extra time. She also recommended a knowledgeable yet approachable oral surgeon for necessary tooth extractions.
Dr. Minahan maintains an impressive network of dentists, oral surgeons, and manufacturers of braces and retainers. Her expertise is well-recognized by other dentists and peers in the field. Additionally, her receptionist Rhonda is fantastic at assisting with insurance matters, scheduling, and keeping us informed throughout the process.
We are very pleased with our choice of Dr. Minahan and will highly recommend her to our friends and family.
What stands out most is Dr. Minihan's personalized approach. I can confidently say that her consistent level of expertise and genuine concern for her patients’ well-being is unparalleled. My daughter now has a beautiful, confident smile, and it’s all thanks to Dr. Minihan.
Dr. Minihan is not just an orthodontist—she’s a family-focused professional who goes above and beyond to provide top-tier care.
