The dentist and his staff are professional and knowledgeable and work well together. Dental work was done as promised. Would recommend Merit Dental.
I had an excellent experience here, everyone was very nice like family and due to some very bad experiences with dentists I get really bad anxiety attacks, from the 1st phone call to the end of the appointment I didn’t feel at all anxious, highly recommend
Love this experience. Very gentle and pain-free work. Would recommend to anyone.
Great staff. Addresses your dental concerns Friendly atmosphere.
This is the best dentsl office in Lorain County Dr. Enea is awesome he takes his time and explains all options.
Everyone there was so nice, informative, gave honest answers and suggestions. Made me feel completely comfortable and happy with my visit. Being a slacker on my dental health, they staff and doctor took their time to make me comfortable. My picture shows my nervousness before it all went down. Definitely going back!
Five stars all around! I am from out of state, but I happened to chip my front tooth while in the area. They were so amazing & got me in quickly! The staff are so great and they have such a clean and calm office! I was very nervous, but everyone was so welcoming & did everything they could to make my visit nice and it was even pain free! They did so good & color matched perfectly you cannot even tell my front tooth had any work done! I also got a cleaning & the hygienist was very gentle while also being very effective! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!! (:
I went in for x-rays and a cleaning with the consultation and hopefully in the future we can work together some more. The dentist was very thorough on his evaluation and we come to conclusion about some work for the future on my teeth.
I survived my tooth extraction but seriously I wanna blast Merit Dental on oberlin Ave!!! If anyone struggles with dental anxiety like I do… do not hesitate to take care of yourself!!! Merit Dental went so far above what they had to do and made me so extra comfortable, yes I had Gas But I no longer fear the dentist, after my extraction I made my regular cleaning appointment with them!! Yes it was that smooth chill and relax!!! The dentist is so humble it was exactly what it needed!! Again check out Merit Dental in Lorain, you will thank me!!
Very good experience. Staff was attentive, talked explained procedure, talked about options and listened to me.
I went to Merit Dental after suffering from gum pain. The staff there were friendly, helpful, and explained the costs upfront. I got an emergency appointment and had a tooth pulled with not much pain. The whole experience turned out well. I would recommend.
Very nice and knowledgeable staff! My family and I always feel welcomed and valued, while being provided excellent care.
Rebecca cleans teeth the very best! Gentle but thorough. She’s the very best!
Love the staff and quality of care I get at Merit Dental! Dr. Enea is wonderful and his front staff is wonderful as well! I enjoyed talking to Henny at the front desk today also want to give a shoutout to Rebecca, the hygienist I’ve seen for years. I always love catching up with her!
Merit Dental (Lorain) is the best out there!! Rebecca explained everything step by step. She was thorough, gentle and very sweet. Her assistant Mic was awesome! Dr.Enea was great! Got me in same day!!! Ingrid at the front desk is the sweetest (Must be an Ingrid thing) ;)

I highly recommend Merit Dental and Dr Enae! I had an emergency and was treated very quickly and professionally!
Good work. Help me a lot.
Rebecca, RDH and Dr. Enea are the best!
Great care, cleaning and exam!
I have nothing but great things to say about this whole office. Anytime I call with an issue, it is resolved right away. Dr. Enea is a great dentist and so down to earth. He has stayed several times past closing to make sure that my dental work is done correctly. If you are looking for a new dentist, you can't go wrong with him.
My wife needed emergency dental care and we searched nearly everywhere within an hour radius from our house. Nothing was available same day. This, of course, was preceded by prior dental appointments at other offices who recommended extraction at a high cost. Merit Dental “answered the call”, if you will, and was able to get her in immediately. So, we made the journey out to Lorain to visit their office. Not only were they able to help get her permanently out of pain, but they even made time around their busy schedule to start additional procedures in the same day that eventually (after some follow up appointments) saved her tooth that so many other practitioners weren’t willing to try and save. I will be moving all my family’s dental work to their office, as it’s worth the long trip to have excellent service which Merit Dental provides. Can’t thank your team enough for everything you’ve done for my wife.
Impeccable service! Rebecca was so nice and professional. Dr. Enea was so personable and thorough with my exam. Overall this office made me feel so welcomed after an overdue dental appointment!
Great and professional
Dr. Enea is super friendly and did a fantastic job on my teeth. They look brand new
I’m so happy with the results of my surgery and would like to thank everyone for their help.Job well done!
The staff really took care of me. I'm a coward and wasn't a bit worried
Dr Pavliqoti is great ? I love the office staff also
Friendly and amazing staff! Very efficient and welcoming! Dr. Enea explained everything thoroughly! Office manager Bry is awesome and very accommodating. Danielle, Sara and Rebecca were amazing! First time here and now my permanent dentist.
He was very awesome, I only had to pay $300 GREAT!!!
Dr. Enea is a really good Dentist, my first time there it was really good.
I've been going here for years although they have switched dentist over those years I've always had Rebecca as my hygienist absolutely love her! All the stuff is always so friendly and I just met the new dentist Dr.Enea he seems very nice and professional .
Absolutely wonderful office. I can not say enough nice things about this Dentist office. Staff are awesome and professional. Extremely accommodating! I love Merit! I highly recommend Dr. Enea to anyone needing dental work getting done. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you all!
I’m so glad I found Dr. Enea, Danielle, Sara and the front desk staff Henny and Bry they are absolutely the best. They make you feel as if the are the most important person from the time you walk in until you leave the office. They are very professional and have a way of easing your anxiety. If you are looking for a Dentist please check them out.

My hygienist Rebecca is the best. Love this dentist office and staff. Just met new dentist and he is very knowledgeable and friendly. Looking forward to many more years at Merit
Lorain Merit has a new outstanding dentist, Dr. Enea He is highly qualified, and I recommend him to my family and all in area, esp. those looking for the best care. His credentials are perfect. Dr. Enea's dental care and consideration of patients is A 1. His assistant Danielle is capable. She's good.
I have nothing but wonderful experiences with Merit Dental. Throughout the changes over the last few years they seem to choose exceptional staff time and time again. I go into the office to get my wisdom teeth out and the whole staff is cheering me on from the moment I stepped into the office. They seen I was nervous and even played the music I liked to get my mind off of the procedure. Dr. Enea and Danielle are amazing people and are very gentle and caring! Thank you so much for making my wisdom teeth removal more comfortable!!
Great work. Had a fun experience for a dentist.
All staff very friendly and efficient.
very friendly and warm atmosphere. Dr. Enea has the best Bedside manner. RAYMOND
The staff is exceptional. I've been a patient for 27yrs and through all the changes the office has maintained quality care.
Dr. Pavliqoti and the staff are very personable and thorough. I feel confident that the care was top notch.
The dental hygienist Rebecca is wonderful. I haven't met the new dentist yet, but I usually only have to get teeth cleaned.
Very nice people. Clean and over all great experience

Always have a great experience. If there is a problem they always get me right in. Never had a bad experience.
Very friendly receptionist’s, assistant’s and straight to the point dentist. What else can you ask for
My 16 year daughter was very anxious, upset and rude to staff. I almost walked out. The staff were so kind and did everything they could to complete the Xrays, cleaning and exam! I would definitely recommend!
Very nice hygienist. Explained everything to me.
The staff is all great! Doctor is really nice, and they do a good thorough cleaning and X rays! Best dentist office around!
It’s been very difficult over the years to find a dentist I’m happy with all the way around. Staff including the dentist are awesome and truly care. Knowledge and abilities of the doctor is tremendous and service is wonderful. Highly recommend!
Such a professional group!! The best dentist ever!! Emily and Rebecca are the best hygentist ever!!
I have pure anxiety about the dentist in general but my experience at merit dental was exceptional. This dentist is amazing at calming and he walks you through every step of the process. Fantastic! The front desk gals are also top notch. and 5 stars!!
Great experience with the new Dentist, he was warm and knowledgeable.
Very pleased with the service and cleaning, Rebecca was very professional and throughly..Doc Haghighi was very kind and answered all my questions.. all the staff was very friendly…I will continue to schedule appointments with Merit
Amazing! Merit Dental Lorain, Ohio is the best. They are so helpful and compassionate. Everyone working there from the front desk to the hygienists and doctors treated me so well and went far above and beyond to help me with every aspect of the process. I highly recommend them and won't let anyone else handle my dental care. Absolutely love them!
Broke a tooth not fun the office got me in same day I called and solved the problem. Everybody was accommodating Thank you
This was my first visit. I was extremely pleased with the friendliness of the staff. The dentist was friendly and easy to talk to. Everything was explained very well and questions were answered. Billing explained insurance to me and was very thorough in explaining costs. Will return.
The ladies here (and the dentist) were so kind and efficient! My mom has dementia but they treated her extra nice and got us in and out. Above and beyond, thanks again!
Rebecca always makes me comfortable. She is friendly and professional at the same time.
Excellent!!! Best experience ever!!! Everyone is polite, courteous and made the visit wonderful!!!!!
First time going there today and I am very impressed and happy. Such friendly staff and very caring. You can tell they care about their patients. Very informative too which I love. I never had such great service at a dentist office. I am glad I went.
Professional and caring.
Dr. Shaugnessy and his staff changed my life for the better, this review is a long time coming because I truly feel the words to describe them will not do enough justice. They took a broken mouth and even quite frankly a broken person and helped build up my confidence by restoring my teeth with 4 implants and building up two broken teeth that I thought I was for sure going to have to lose and helped build me up as a person, I was going through a really tough time personally and they were there to show the most support I have ever received from a bunch of "strangers". The Dr. is number one in my opinion in the dental world, I was petrified (talking needing to be medicated to sit in the chair for a cleaning) to being able to get surgery done several times and other procedures with minimal medication intervention. His staff are knowledgeable and caring, also the support they receive from the dentist to grow and learn in their field seems rare. I could truly ramble on all day but you need to see this practice for any dental needs, leave your insecurities at the door and be prepared to be wowed! When I write my book they will most certainly have a spot on the tribute page :)
I had very poor experiences with dentist in the past. Merit Dental completely changed my views on dentistry. Would strongly recommend.
Highly recommend Merit Dental. Each experience I’ve had has been a positive one. Dr. Sylva did an excellent job on my fillings ❤️
Very nice staff!!!
Absolutely amazing practice! I fly from California to come here.
We have had Dr. Kyle Radin, for my daughter's, fillings twice and his done a great job. Makes her feel comfortable and takes his time. Definitely would recommend. So happy we have found Merit Dental. Will continue to support this business.
Amazing staff, super friendly and genuinely care for you. Dr. Shaughnessy is hands down the best! I no longer dread going to the dentist and being in pain. If you have anxiety from a bad experience like me, they truly understand and take all concerns seriously. Also, the hygienist Rebecca is beyond friendly and very gentle while cleaning. I will never go to another dentist!
Procrastinated too long making excuses not to go to the dentist but with a broken front tooth I was forced. Like most people I dreaded getting nummed up and drilled but I was pleasantly surprised at how dentistry has changed in just the few years I boycotted it. Got a new crown and the dentist and assistant could not of been friendlier and efficient. I actually look forward to my next visit. I highly recommend Merit Dental in Lorain.
They do a great job and they do everything with care. I love this place.
Wonderful, professional and caring staff -clean and quite affordable.
I had not gone in for regular dental check-ups for at least a year, due to Covid, so when I returned to Merit Dental in Lorain this week, I was a bit apprehensive. Everyone, from the receptionist to the hygienist Rebecca and dentist Dr. Matthew Shaughnessy, worked their magic and put me at ease. They are not only professional, but they take the time to listen to your concerns.
Wonderful experience. Very professional and caring.
Went to Merit Dental for the first time and l was very pleased everyone was very friendly and very helpful. The hygienist (Rebecca) was great she is so sweet she explains everything so clearly. And the dentist himself was very nice and friendly. It was a good experience and l don’t like to go to the dentist. But for sure l will go back to Merit Dental.
Definitely a 10. Excellent, professional staff. Would highly recommend!
The people are nice and easy to deal with. They have your comfort in mind. I really like my hygienist. Becca is the best in town!
Rebecca always does an incredible job; and the genuineness of her care and professional manners is A+. Dr. Shaughnessy makes you feel at ease and comfortable. I recently had a wisdom tooth pulled; and he coached me through every process with ease. It was finished before I knew it. Merit dental office are caring, kind, and true professionals in the dental field. Great job and awesome staff!
Excellent care. I came in here to get my 14 k white golds on my fangs in my mouth and they were so cool about it. No judgement. Nothing but "we do these crowns all the time. We can't wait to get started." What a blessing from the front desk clerk's to Tanya the dental assistant to the actual doctor himself. I highly recommend them. I'm well pleased shinin : )
Rebecca has the most gentle touch when doing a cleaning & everyone is extremely professional. Great team and very nice!
Phenomenal staff! Welcoming and incredibly friendly. They get down to business and made me feel really confident going into my dental procedure.
I have been going to this Dentist office for over 20 yrs. Always friendly and reasonable ! The hygienist is the best,when she was out for awhile I sure did miss her, I waited till she came back to work ! The front desk workers are up to date with Insurance and help you with paper work and let you know what insurance will pay and your copay ! Very helpful !
As much as I always hated going to the dentist even as a kid this one was different. Everyone was actually great. No one blew me off they genuinely wanted to help me and they did. Will be taking rest of my family there would highly recommend
I was referred to Rebecca by my friend because my Hygienist Karen retired. I have been with her for more than twenty years. Rebecca was friendly, thorough, calming and gentle. My friend was not wrong with her referral. Thank you Rebecca for making me feel at ease and the transition to someone new less stressful.
Friendly! Suberb ! Nice! GENTLE! BEST STAFF! THEE DR.BARANECK!!! ALWAYS EXPLAINS AND DOES ALL WELL.!!! Thank You Everyone!! Can't wait to come back!! Love Ray!
Wonderful experience. I would rate the experience as a 10.
I have reccomend merit dental to EVERYONE I know! I can not thank you enough for caring and being so patient and understanding with me as I have much anxiety when going to a dentist. You are by far the best dental office around! So friendly and gentle and I will never go anywhere else. Thank you all so much
I was terrified of the dentist until I came here. Because of the team there (especially my hygienist Rebecca) I will not go anywhere else. They changed everything for me. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
The appointment was excellent and they took good care of me. I really appreciate it
Everyone was very thoughtful and knowledgeable in every way!
you know how you keep a 5 star rating? be as cool as doctor Shawn and his merry band of awesome teeth lovers.
Real comfortable atmosphere and everyone is super friendly. They let you know everything that’s going on and every potential treatment plan to give you the healthiest smile
Great dental office, started going to Merit Dental a couple years ago, after trying to find a good dentist, I went to Merit and have been going back ever since. Great staff, aren't pushy with you having to get procedures, gives you options. Now most of my family goes there! Looking for a dentist this the place to go!
I'm retired without Dental insurance. Merit offered a great initial service package for exam, full x-rays and cleaning in my first appointment on 3-January.. All elements of their service was of highest quality and detail: cleaning, dentist's exam and x-rays. Ashley even mentioned Merit is looking into a dental discount program for uninsured customers at a nominal annual cost. It was mentioned that program might be available as soon as late March, so I am very interest in that Merit option, when available for my wife and myself.
First let me say I am not a fan of the Dentist as I am sure many are not but I can tell you with the service and the education on good dental hygiene I received from Merit Dental I am a regular maintenance and repair patient. They are very accommodating and are sincerely concerned with your well being. I have had to visit them on both an emergency visit and preventive maintenance visit and every time they have made me feel like I was their only client at that time. They make you feel like family. Diane Weber
I was in between jobs and insurance co. when I got this horrible toothache. a lot of dentists wouldn't even see me because I had no insurance. Merit told me that they could see me that same day. I'm glad I went there the whole staff from the girls at the front desk to dentist himself were super friendly. Dr. Shaughnessy went over all my options and took care of the problem right away. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a dentist!
Great location. Friendly people. Clean office. Great service. Great dental care. What else do you need?
My husband and I were looking for a new dentist and got a flyer in the mail from Merit Dental. We decided to give them a try and we were both very pleased. Polite, caring, professional staff!
I am so impressed with this dentist office! All the staff are super friendly and did not make me feel even the slightest bit self conscious even with all the work I needed done. Dr. Matt Shaughnessy thoroughly explained everything recommended various options for a dental plan and the associated costs. The woman at the front desk was very knowledgeable and able to break up my dental plan procedures to maximize my insurance. I am so happy I came here and would recommend this dentist to everyone in Lorain County!
I have been going to the Lorain office for many years and have always been satisfied with both the hygienists and the dentists I have had. The other thing that is important is the appointment time - never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be treated.
Not too many people can say they are ok with going to the dentist but I can. I feel they take exceptional care of my teeth and do a great job explaining what to expect. I am in the service industry and take great pride in the service my business offers and when I look at the care given by Merit Dental I can definitely say they hold the same standards that I do, they truly care about their patients.
Always a great experience. I look forward to going to the dentist.
My first experience with Merit Dental was great! The staff is very nice, the hygentist was very thourough and the dentist is terriffic! I'm glad I chose Merit Dental for all my families dental needs.
