Dr. John Busby graduated from dental school in 1978 along with Dr. Wipperfurth and Dr. Wierwill. Those two started their own practices in Madison, but Dr. John Busby served in the military until 1983. Once out, Dr. John Busby started a new practice with Dr. Wipperfurth. Later he started the office known as Midvale Regent Dental Associates in Madison with Dr. McGary. Finally in 1997, all offices merged into one, forming what we now know as Affiliated Dentists.
Initially, we only had one office, our location off of River Place by Monona. However, our practice was growing fast, so in an effort to meet demand in 2003 we built our West office on Odana Road. That same year Dr. Miller graduated dental school and and we were pleased to welcome her to the team.
The practice continues to grow, and through the years weve continued to welcome new dentists to our team. Dr. Mark Gustavson joined in 2007, Dr. Laura Peles in 2009. Dr. Maggie Smith in 2012. Dr. Brian Porter joined in 2013 and, most recently, Dr. Susie Dendinger joined in 2017.
And while our team has grown, we remain informed by the notion that our success is measured by the experiences of each of our patients. We strive to offer our patients the best dental care but we also know how much it means to them that we also remember their name.

Dr. Miller is wonderful! She addresses all of my concerns in a manner that's easy to understand. My hygienist, Kathy, was kind and professional, but most importantly, friendly & personable. She made the experience so pleasant.

The people are so kind. I was afraid of getting my tooth removed. Dr. Theresa Miller was factual and gave the best advice. very down to earth. I've always had a good time at the dentist. I know, sounds weird, but it's the truth.

We love Dr Miller at Affiliated! We have been going here since our kids were little, about 18 years. It's always very pleasant and we never feel rushed.

Great as always. I actually realized today as Dr. Miller was examining me that I have been seeing her for over 20 years. She listens to my concerns and together we formulate a plan. Highly recommend everyone in this office!
