As a new patient at Merit Dental-Brunswick, OH., I was highly impressed at the onset of my initial consult with the professionalism of not only the Administrative personnel, but also with various Hygienists, X-Ray Techs, and of course the highly skillsets (both teaching and operative) of Dr. Mark Paly. My 1st time procedure with Dr. Paly went extremely well, with him explaining each of his procedural steps as they unfolded, always mindful of patient care during that process, and being extremely gentle and reassuring that each of the steps were leading to a successful result. After my procedure was complete, Dr. Paly explained in detail on post operative care, an open invitation to call anytime with questions or concerns, which certainly added to my assurance that I had definitely chosen a fantastic dental facility for my procedure. A sincere thanks to “each and everyone” at this facility for providing me a very memorable and positive experience!
Have been with this practice since Dr. Balski took over, actually since 1980. Always great service and care. Has always been a great experience.
I always have such a pleasant experience at Merit Dental. Claudia is my hygienist and she does an amazing job making me feel comfortable and giving me suggestions on how to improve my dental health. Dr. Balski is such a ray of sunshine when she comes in the room as well. Thank you both for such an easy dental experience!
Dr. Balski has been my dentist for over 20yrs. I love her, she is a fabulous Dentist. I just went to Dr. mark paly, same office, I was scared, he took my tooth out, no pain, next few days, no swelling, no black & blue, again, no pain.. He is fabulous too. This office treats their patients like royalty!
I couldn't thank Merit Dental enough for the wonderful experience I had during my first visit there. The receptionists are both friendly and welcoming. I have never had a dentist as patient as Dr. Paly. He spent as much time needed to adjust my partial. Rachel, the dental assistant is very professional and personable. She did the finishing touches on my partial. Claudia the dental hygienist made me feel comfortable. She's nice and did a thorough job.
One of the best dental experiences. Had a wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Paly. He did a marvelous job. He was thorough and explained everything during the entire process. Pain free removal, highly recommend Dr.Paly.
Called merit dental this morning trying to find someone to handle my dental emergency....talked to the office staff and they actually got me in at 11, needed a tooth extraction, Dr paly and his staff were amazing! They explained everything that needed to be done and out of pocket cost thoroughly....I'll be making the switch to start seeing them regularly.... thanks again!!
My name is Judi Summers (Kaz is my daughter) and NEVER have I received from ANY service provider the level of care I received from Dr. Balski at Merit Dental in Brunswick, OH. I had broken a tooth and despite excruciating pain, my dentist (who had seen me, said I needed an extraction, bone graft and an implant at a cost of $7k) couldn't book me until the following week. Desperate, I called Dr. Balski's office and they had me immediately come in. After she read my x-rays, she advised me I had TWO broken molars and a severe abscess. Unlike my dentist, she gave me 2 additional options; a root canal/crown or extractions with an affordable bridge down the road. Not once did she try to upsell me and she even comforted me when I burst into tears at her patience and kindness. I opted for extractions and she constantly checked to make sure I wasn't in pain during the procedure. Her concern was genuine and her insistence that I call her should I have issues was that of a friend, not a doctor. If you need dental care, THIS IS THE DENTIST TO CHOOSE IN CLEVELAND OHIO!
It is always a pleasure coming here. Did I just say that about going to the dentist? YES I DID! Dr. Balski is fantastic. Absolutely love Christine (Hygienist) as well. All the staff make me feel so welcome and comfortable. I have had cleaning, x-rays, fillings, etc. done. At other dental offices, I have had billing and cost issues, but never here. I wouldn't change a thing about how they operate! Thank you!
Dr. Balski truly cares for her patients, I have never had someone care so much about my oral and overall health! The whole staff is amazing.
Dr. Brian is absolutely the best. He makes the dental experience of one ease and comfort.. I dont ever mind going to the dentist when I am in his hands. Dr. Brian is honest and up front.. explaining things as he goes to ensure you have a complete understanding of what is going on and happy to answer any questions in detail and laymen terms. a very reliable and knowledgeable dr. with a great sense of humor to make the 6 month trip to the dentist one to look forward to!
