Super easy and successful
“Dr. Minjoo Sanker was great! Took my highly anxious child and relaxed her and made her visit super easy and successful!”
Fast but thorough
“Great experience! Dr. Minjoo was amazing — so fast but thorough with our little one!”
So good with anxious kids
“Dr. Minjoo is awesome! She is so good with my six-year-old, and doesn’t get frazzled with his anxiety and tears. She’s focused, talks calmly and reassuringly to him, and is just so good overall!”
Quick and easy extraction
“Dr. Minjoo did an excellent job of a tooth extraction for our very nervous eleven-year-old. Our daughter was really surprised how quickly and easily it went.”
Soothing and gentle
“My son is a very anxious kid when it comes to doctors and dentists. Dr. Minjoo was sooo soothing and gentle. She took her time and explained everything to my ten-year-old prior to doing so.”
Walked us through every step
“I wanted to thank Dr. Minjoo Sanker, she was so professional, kind and patient with my daughter getting crowns put in her teeth! She was wonderful making sure to walk her through the process, so she wouldn’t be scared.”
We absolutely love the experience
“We have been going to AA Pediatric Dentistry since my daughter was 1.5 year old and now she is 8. We absolutely love the experience and their care. My daughter has been seeing Dr. Minjoo since she was a baby. Dr. Minjoo goes above and beyond. We also love all staff. They are very nice, caring, and very professional. We just had a visit there yesterday.”
The care he needed
“Dr. Minjoo Sanker was awesome. I appreciate her for getting me in fast. My appointment was only suppose to be a consultation but my son got the care he needed same day! We will definitely be back! Thanks to Dr. Minjoo and her wonderful team”
So skilled and so sweet
“Dr. Minjoo is the best! So skilled and so sweet and keeps the kids distracted and comfortable!”
Very warm
“Thank you Dr. Minjoo I would like to say more but will take 5 full pages describing this awesome job and how bad experience we got from previous pediatric dentists. I really appreciate it. My daughter was happy and I was happy too as a mother. Thank God no sedation in this office. Dr. Minjoo and her assistant treat my daughter like their own child very warm”
A wonderful experience
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I can’t rave enough about how amazing Mrs. Minjoo Sanker and assistants were with my 3 year old daughter. Very sweet and accommodating. Encouraged my daughter when she needed her to open her mouth or bite down to take X-rays. Very sweet staff and a wonderful experience. We don’t have dental insurance and we found the pricing to be affordable for services and also they were accommodating with a payment plan. Very convenient, love the location, plenty of parking and just an overall wonderful experience for my daughters first dental visit.”
A rockstar
“I took my 6 year old daughter to my local dentist and she was very afraid of the gas mask and didn't want it on. The dentist was yelling at her (that made me very upset) he was saying how he would send her to a dentist that wouldn't let her mom come back with her and was threatened to make me leave the room and im not comfortable with leaving my 6 year old daughter alone with the dentist for logical reasons. So after all that he referred me to Jackson pediatric dentistry so i called and they informed me that i would not be allowed back with her so i said thank you and hung up and called Chelsea pediatric dentistry and they said i was allowed back so i made the appointment. When we came we got the sweetest dentist Dr. Minjoo Sanker i highly recommend her i can't believe how patient and sweet she is i felt so bad with how terrible my daughter was acting but she really is a rockstar. Unbelievable how kind and nurturing she is i really can't say it enough and her assistant was awesome also. I couldn't stop saying how sorry i was. I really recommend you ask for Dr. Minjoo 1,000% 100 out of 10 if they let us come back we will come back for every visit. Best pediatric dentist ever ( they are totally underpaid lol )”
Very patient and caring
“I highly recommend Ann Arbor Pediatric Dentistry in Chelsea! My 10 year old son has anxiety when going to the dentist and the staff was very patient and caring. I'd like to thank his hygienist, Carrie, for her sweet personality! Dr. Minjoo took the time to answer my questions and took the time to set up a treatment plan that was best for my son. I am so glad that my children will be well taken care of here and their treatment and care is important to the staff.”
Top notch
“Would highly recommend. My daughter recently had a tooth extraction and this office made it as painless as possible. Dr. Minjoo is great with children and the staff is top notch. They all took great care of my daughter and as much as I hope we don’t have another visit, this dental office would be my first call for any procedure.”
Loving and patient
“I’m glad I found this office. The front desk was so helpful in getting me a soon appointmet for my child. I was so nervous on our appointment day but Both ladies were so sweet and greeted us so warmly. In this time of day it’s so hard to find caring people. The hygienist and Dr. Minjoo was loving and patient and explained everything so clearly. 🙏🏻❤️”
Wonderful is an understatement
“I have two autistic boys (5) and (7) and this office was recommended to us when our youngest needed a cavity filled. To say they were wonderful is an understatement! Dr. Minjoo walked my son through every single detail of what she was doing in terms he could understand and checked in with him repeatedly. He stayed calm through the entire process. My oldest has trouble sitting still and moved around the room a lot during his cleaning and they kept conversation with him and didn’t chastise him for getting up. The patience they showed him was more than I could have ever hoped for. We HIGHLY recommend this office.”
A million stars
“If I could give a million stars I would! Everyone was amazing, I went from my son crying as he was scared, to him telling me on the way out he wanted to go back. They were absolutely wonderful! They explained everything to my son, showed him what they were going to do and what each instrument was. Dr. Minjoo was amazing at explaining everything and what next steps would be.”
The team here is outstanding
“We have only had the best experience's here. My 4 year old son who is Autistic had to get 2 crowns on his morals and you can imagine the anxiety not only my son would have but also for myself as his mother had with this appointment approaching. The team here is outstanding. They were all so kind, patient, and guided us through the whole produced. My husband and I were in the room while the procedure was happening and we were all singing ( including the doctor) to help calm down my son and make him feel relaxed. Dr. Minjoo would pause and take a break when she knew it was getting overwhelming for my son. And she was so gentle, and efficient with making sure our sons dental care is healthy.”
Sweet and patient
“Dr. Minjoo was so sweet and patient with my child. My daughter was so nervous but she was able to calm her down. I am truly grateful for the Dentist and her assistants who treated my daughter without any judgement to her because of her dental anxiety. The front desk were able to put me on the cancellation list and called me with a sooner appointment. Thank you all ! 🙏🙌”
A very positive experience
“I was very nervous about my 3 year old’s dental treatment since he typically has a lot of anxiety at doctors or dentists. He unfortunately had to get a lot of cavities filled. Dr. Minjoo walked into the room with a very calm demeanor which immediately put my kid at ease. She went over and beyond making sure he knew what was happening and explained every step of the way through the procedure. You could tell Dr. Minjoo is very professional and is fit to be a perfect pediatric dentist. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a dentist for their children. Thank you for making this experience a very positive one!”
