Dr. Miller is a member of several clubs and has several accolades including:

Our doctor was voted by other local dentists as a top dentist in central Indiana for over 10 years in a row! He takes the time to listen and understand your goals and concerns, as well as patient, kind, and gentle.

Our goals in the office include:

  • Making Ritz-Carlton service as available as a McDonald’s cheeseburger
  • Bettering himself and staff through further study and training
  • Increasing services to continue to provide comprehensive care
  • Growing personally and professionally to make his office the best in town—where people feel comfortable and gladly send friends and family because they were surprised by the quality of service and care provided.
