I have dealt with so many dentists and even though I went in for a root canal Miller was the best dentist I have ever been to!! I felt 100% comfortable throughout the entire procedure and didn't feel at all any pain! Even when he injected me I didn't feel a thing and I don't like needles so that's saying something!!! I wholeheartedly wish that he did more than root canals because the experience itself made up for all the bad experiences that I've had with previous dentists! I highly recommend him for your next root canal!!!!! You will definitely not be disappointed!!

Incredible Practice. I was referred to this practice for a root canal. Emily is an AMAZING assistant. She made me feel extremely comfortable, super sweet lady. All my fears were put at ease. Dr Hockett did an AMAZING job; Painless root canal. The procedure took less than an hour. Thank you.

Had a consultation with Dr. Sherman, really great experience. He determined that I did not in fact need a root canal when previously I was told that I did by another endodontist. Great news as it would have been my second one. Dr. Sherman was great to talk to, knowledgable, and caring. The staff at the front desk were excellent as well. I would highly recommend Sherman & Miller.

I wish I could leave higher than a 5 for this place! It is clean, they are constantly making sure it is sanitized, and both NT Lois and Dr. Miller are AMAZING! This was my first time getting a root canal and NT Lois and Dr. Miller were absolute Angels. You can care they truly care about their patients! Dr. Miller also personally calls to check on his patients as well! Absolutely 5 stars and if I could I would give a higher score! I highly recommend Dr. Miller, and his staff!

Most wonderful dental office ever! Having been traumatized by painful dental work as a teenager in the 1970's, I've always said I'd rather have surgery than go to a dentist. Fear no more! Dr. Miller and staff were amazing during my root canal! Everyone in the office was caring and polite, making sure I was comfortable and in no pain. They are wonderful!

Woke up with a terrible tooth ache. Went to local dentist who referred me to Sherman an Miller. This happen on Thursday morning and when the gal called Sherman an Miller she was told that they were too busy and could not see me till Tuesday afternoon. They are closed on Fridays because I guess its golf days. I set the appt up but went looking for another root canal Dr. that put patients first. Realizing that I was in pain and four days was way too long he said that he would see me as soon as I could get there. So I drove to Wilmington and was put right in the chair. I had to wait an hour before they could start but that was better than four days of pain. Today I'm pain-free due to a Dr. who cares more about patients than golf or three day weekends. A patient does not pick when a tooth pain will strike and a caring Dr. would understand tooth pain can't wait. When your more concerned about your three day weekends than you are about patients pain you went into dentistry for the wrong reasons. At least I know who I wont bother when I have a tooth ache that requires a professional dentist!

I had a root canal with Dr. Miller yesterday morning and he was so kind and made me feel very comfortable. It was very easy and I felt relaxed with him. He even called the next day to make sure everything was going well. Highly recommend Dr. Miller!

I recently had a crown done by my regular family dentist on a cracked tooth. After the crown, I was in a lot of pain in the tooth above the tooth that received the crown. My dentist suspected that it was also cracked and referred me to Dr's. Sherman & Miller to get it verified. Dr. Sherman did some endodontist tricks and determined it was actually the crowned tooth that was hurting and now needed a root canal. After Dr. Miller did the root canal, my tooth pain was completely gone besides a little soreness from the work. Day 2 and I can't even tell I had work done. Dr. Miller and his assistant were an awesome team and made me feel comfortable with less pain than some fillings I've had. The rest of the staff were great and payment options were clearly explained. I highly recommend Sherman & Miller PA.
