The people of Yosemite Dental Care

Meet the dentists.

Three dentists, one retired founder, and a practice that has been quietly caring for Mariposa since 1984.

Yosemite Dental Care started in 1984, when Dr. Thomas Wieg hung a shingle on State Highway 49. Forty years later his son Dr. Tim runs the practice alongside his wife Dr. Karen and Dr. Allyson Milman. The chair you sit in may be the same one your parents sat in.

From Vincent, who drives four hours each way

“Dr. A Milman was professional, and the Dental Assistant made my experience unforgettable. It’s a 4-hour drive, but I am a customer for life now.”
