Charming office (with a checkers table!), NO wait, friendly front office staff, skilled and quick hygienist, and a doctor that didn't push treatments I don't need. Very, very happy. Will be returning with the whole family. Thank you!
My visits to Merit Dental are never anything but top notch, from Missy at the front desk to the girls doing the work in the back. They make it a very comfortable place to go to. I highly recommend them.
The tam works wonderfully together. They have shown compassion for me as I have gone through many dental procedures. They update procedures and equipment constantly. This recent cleaning and exam was actually comfortable!
Exceptional care with a family feel! I love this practice! My Lifelong Dentist passed from complications with COVID a few years ago, and I was referred to Merit Dental in a time of desperation. I could not be more grateful!
My old dentist stopped taking my insurance so when I had some tooth pain I was in a pinch trying to find a new dentist. I called Merit Dental and they were able to see me quickly. The hygienist was VERY kind and I could tell she truly cared. Dr Satish talked to me about a couple issues I had and developed a plan that I was comfortable with. The lady at the front desk was very friendly as well and went over pricing with me. Thank you so much to the team at Merit Dental!
First time visit! Wonderful care! I’m 72 years old and still left with a smile and saying to myself ( to my Mom in Heaven) “Look Ma, no cavities!! So glad I found this dentist!
I did not have an appointment, but had an emergency. I called, and without delay, I was seen immediately. The staff was awesome and the Dr. was great. Merit is my new dental place.!
Dr. Katie Dahlen is fantastic. She explains everything she is doing, makes sure you are comfortable & asks if you need a break when doing repair work. Always friendly and personable. The dental hygienist & front desk staff are pretty awesome also.
The only people I was able to see was the person that cleaned my teeth.No dentist at appointments. Again dentist not on premium today.I would think after not seeing a dentist in almost 2 plus years they could have a dentist on premise.
Update New Doctor on premise is Great person's doing the cleaning great keep up the good work.very happy now.Notice I have now changed My review to 5 Stars... Smile
So I had HORRIBLE breath and Kim cleaned and scaled all the plaque away and my breath is better and my teeth feel so smooth! The floss flows through like butter! Thank you!
I went to Merit Dental yesterday for the first time and had an excellent experience with the people there. I met Kim, who did a thorough cleaning of my teeth. Very pleasant, very professional. And Dr. Merit proved to have those qualities as well. Totally awesome, and will definitely recommend. Five stars all the way!
In spite of several changes over the past few years, the professionalism of the staff at Merit Dental has always been rock solid. I appreciate being met by Missy who’s been at the front desk for decades!
The current dentist is Katie, who is very personable and efficient!
Lauren has performed my teeth cleaning for the past year ; she does a thorough job. So yes I highly recommend Merit Dental.
Took my 14year old daughter, she loved it there. The dental assistant was amazing with her and the dentist was great. My daughter walked out saying she loved it and can't wait to go back.
I can't rave enough about the staff at Merit Dental. I have been a life-long patient. They are professional and kind and really know my family. They have always been especially understanding of my son who is on the autism spectrum to show patience and dignity in his care. From cleanings to procedures - they get a 5 stars from me!
My 14 year old daughter had her first visit to Merit Dental in Harrison Ohio. The staff and dentist exceeded all expectations. I had called for an appointment and was scheduled about a month out which was very quick considering the wait time for dentists and being a new patient. I had asked to be put on the cancellation list and the very kind receptionist called me back that day and offered a cancellation for the same day !! It’s so great to be listened to and cared for … health care in general is such a trying environment to work in but these ladies are top notch !! As I sat there in the waiting room I noticed how they talked and interacted with patients that have obviously gone there for many years. They treated and spoke to them with such kind and caring regard from billing to scheduling follow up appointments. My daughter also was very impressed with their bedside manner and making her feel comfortable. I highly recommend this office!!
The ladies that work at Merit Dental are amazing ! They treat you like family. You can tell they really care about you .I have been going there twice a year for 27 years and each time they do a great job. I am 73 years old and thanks to them I still have my own teeth and I enjoy them . Your teeth are in good hands at Merit Dental ! Noone told me to or paid me for this review ! It's from my very own heart ❤ Thank you Merit Dental !
Friendly, caring, fantastic. Dr Dahlen is so helpful with sharing info and reasoning for treatment. Shoutout to Lauren for the most stress-free cleaning I’ve ever had! I have TMJ problems and she’s the first tech who hasn’t made me feel terrible about my inability to keep my mouth open wide enough. Thank you Lauren, thanks Merit team!
Everyone is so attentive and friendly and genuinely concerned about your dental health. They make you feel like you’re family. I would highly recommend this office if you’re searching for a dentist! They’re the best!!
I had 7 cavities filled. Not the best experience to have to go through, but the lady taking care of my fillings did a excellent job. Her name is Heidi. She is with the Harrison, OH office. Actually, all the office staff are wonderful.
Best staff I have ever dealt with. Everyone is so friendly and caring. Would never go anywhere else. I hope they get to keep the dentist that is there now. Sorry I don't remember his name. Just seen him once and already like him. Would love to see him stay.
