Miruna D Vlad, DDS PhD

I have been going here for years and can’t imagine going anywhere else. The most amazing dentist you will ever find. She truly cares about her patient’s well-​being, comfort and health. She is extremely knowledgeable in dentistry and well trusted. She makes you feel like your family and your dental concerns are her concerns.

So it’s around Halloween, and I like my candy hard~ (now, get your mind out of the gutter!) Whilst enjoying a yummy watermelon Jolly Rancher, I decide to bite into it … and one of my back molars makes this crazy pop sound. Oh great, this is exactly what I want to obsess about. My incredibly old mercury filling happily crumbles away from my tooth, as I ponder what lawyer I should hire if I choose to swallow my poison filling. But I simply spit it out and find a dentist instead.
Since I don’t have dental insurance, I need a deal. So I find Miruna Vlad on the Unilocal deals, and away I go! Her office is nestled amongst other dental offices in a type of *dental center* and I easily find her building on the map in the front. (She’s basically smack dab in the middle, so you can park anywhere and cut through to the center of the plaza.)
Nothing fancy, just a basic office with the dentist, receptionist, and hygienist. No TV to stare at or iPod plug ins, so don’t be expecting to be blown away by the technology. I’ve had dentists in the past with all the high tech stuff, and was terribly disappointed with their service, so I didn’t mind this at all. I just want my tooth fixed.
So I get the x-​rays and a cleaning, so my next visit was to fix my tooth. (Keep in mind I wasn’t in any pain, so by no means was my tooth an emergency.) I was pretty sure I was going to need a crown, and Dr. Vlad also let me know there was a possibility that I might need a root canal. Splendid. I’ve only heard horror stories about root canals, so this is something that I am not necessarily looking forward to. (My last dentist almost called an ambulance for me since my blood pressure shot through the roof over a filling repair, I’m not terribly trusting of people who are working on my teeth) Now don’t misunderstand me, I’m not AFRAID of dentists, I jus think they might inadvertently KILL me with what they INJECT me with. So needless to say I don’t really trust them all that much.
So guess what … I got a root canal! I can safely say that it was smooth through the entire process — I actually was falling asleep during one of my visits! Dr. Vlad is sweet, gentle, incredibly attentive and always looking out for my needs. Since then I’ve had another cleaning and a cracked filling replaced.
She may not be fancy, but this is the first dentist I have encountered that has AMAZING customer service, gentle, kind, and very keen to my needs, all while not breaking the bank.

I love Miruna, she is such a sweet, gentle dentist. I have such anxiety when it comes to dentists… probably from the mean dentists I had as a child and one cut my lip bad. I dread going to the dentist and feel like I am going to have an anxiety attack. Another dentist that I went to that I was not comfortable with recommended Miurna, so I tried her out. She is so kind and cares about your comfort and makes you feel at ease. She is willing to work with you if you need help financially. I highly recommend her. I sent my sister to her and she loves her too. If you go to her say Alia recommend you.
