Minnich Michael D DDS Ms

I don’t write a lot of reviews except when I have an experience that exceeds my expectations and really stands out above the normal experience. I was referred to Dr. Minnich by a friend who is a doctor, very picky and very pleased with how he was treated. He had a tooth knocked out while playing hockey, yes recently, a doctor that still plays hockey. He told me how impressed he was with the doc and his staff so I went in.
I am over a young 50 and had braces as a kid. My teeth were perfect for 30+ years (with no retainer) while playing basketball I took a hard foul that ended driving a guys shoulder into my jaw. I got TMJ, which really hurt, and over the next 2 years my teeth crowed out very bad. I went in for my appointment and the doc looked me over, gave me my options between invisalign and assorted braces and a very fair price.
I went for the invisalign and it was the perfect choice for me. I had a friend who started the same process at about the same time as me. When we were comparing experiences we discovered that I paid less, received more trays than her, about 10, and when the treatment was done I was totally happy and she was satisfied but not happy.
Here is why I am writing the review. The whole experience was great, my office is in Carlsbad but I am in all parts of town. I was able to have my appointments in either the Pacific Beach office or the Oceanside office and the staff would always have everything they needed. But the main thing that impressed me was I was considering having some more braces put on to try something I thought would work. I believe there are many doctors who would have done it for me but Dr. Minnich told me No. It would not work, I would not be happy, it would waste my money. After he explained it in great detail, twice, I finally got it. It’s not often that people tell us no when we are holding a check in our hand ready to give it to them.
In closing my total experience was excellent, my outcome terrific, and I found a professional I can trust and feel confident recommending to friends.

I love love love Dr. Minnich! He is the nicest sweetest man and gave me a smile I never know I could have! When I first went in to see him i needed an expander since my top teeth were narrower than my bottom… I refused to pull my teeth out so I had teeth growing on top of teeth, I was a mess! I started seeing him when I was around 9 or 10 and I am now 25 and still have an amazing smile, Actually that is what I get complimented on the most! Thank you Dr. Minnich!!!
Ps-​he is the orthodontist for my 2 brothers too!!! :)))

I saw doctor Minnich when I was younger for nearly 5 years and he was an absolute pleasure to work with! I enjoyed coming in to see him each and every time. I have such a fond memory of him that I am going to go back and getting an Invisalign Express treatment. Dr. Minnich is amazing with children and adults, is affordable, and downright gifted at what he does.

We were referred to Dr. Minnich by a friend who works near his office. Such a great find. He clearly explains everything involved with the procedure from first initial visit to the end result of a beautiful smile.
My son had an impacted tooth as well as some other random issues with his teeth. For the most part, it was going to take some real magic to get his teeth lined up and straight. There were a couple different options we could have taken, but Dr. Minnich went over each with pros and cons so we were sure to make the right choice.
Dr. Minnich’s friendly nature and easy going personality made this experience easy and painless. His staff are all very easy going and helpful. If you need orthodontic work, give Dr. Minnich a call. You and your teeth will be glad you did!

I have entrusted Dr. Minnich with both of my daughters. They were apprehensive about getting braces, but his bedside manner quickly eased their concerns, and the result has been great. My wife drives 30 minutes to get the kids to their appointment, and it’s worth it. I do not believe you will find a more caring, trustworthy, professional Orthodontist.
