Came here after being frustrated for over a year by our ex-family dentist in the care of my 2 year old now 5 year old son. Because of their major neglect and wrong diagnoses (sigh, yes plural), what should have been a minor incident ended up being costly, long and drawn out headache for our family. I called Dr Merrie when I wanted a second opinion and refused to take my son back to our incompetent family dentist. Her office immediately put my son at ease. He hates and fears the dentist to the point of refusing to get out of the car. At her office he didn't want to leave when we had the initial consultation. With all the toys, ipad games on the wall, tumbling accessories, kid friendly decor it was no wonder he didn't want to leave. He also has some special needs and was so impressed that this was taken into account and asked about specifically. She correctly diagnosed him and took the time to thoroughly explain the conditions and options we had. She was so available to us before and after the procedures, even following up. I'm so happy to have found her so close!! Her office staff are very helpful with explaining billing and very helpful with scheduling, billing and working with our insurance. I look forward to bringing all my kids to this practice from now on!
