Dr. Lara Diamond Minahan, DDS

About Us - Meet Dr. Minahan
Welcome to our practice! I am so very fortunate to participate in the care of so many smiles that have and will change lives. Most of all, I am grateful for the chance to develop long lasting relationships with all of our kind families. From start to finish, I am thrilled to watch the smile develop and to witness the effect it has on an individual. That is a thing of beauty!
Education
I received my dental degree (D.D.S.) (graduating Magna Cum Laude) at the University of Maryland Dental School in Baltimore, MD. Prior to beginning my dental training, I conducted research for the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center.
In addition, I achieved a Masters of Science (M.S.), (graduating Summa Cum Laude) in oral biology concomitantly with my orthodontic specialty residency, also at the University of Maryland Dental School.
To provide my patients with the highest quality treatments available, I attend many conventions and seminars in continuing education. I am committed to …furthering my education and contributing to organized dentistry via my membership in the American Association of Orthodontists, the Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, the Maryland State Society of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, and the Southern Maryland Dental Association.
Personal
Although born in Madison, Wisconsin, I spent most of my childhood on the east coast and abroad. My first language is French.
I currently live in Brookeville, Maryland with my husband Rob, and my dear children, Eva and Ginger. In addition to spending time with my family as much as possible, I enjoy playing tennis, dancing, cooking, hiking and the theatre.
Our office prides itself in being an extension of home. My team and my patients are family and I am very grateful for the opportunity to know and work with them all.
