My husband and our 5 children have been so fortunate to be patients of Dr Magnuson at Merit Dental for over 30 years! As young children they never had any anxiety about going to the dentist. They could always count on Dr Magnuson's genuine care for their comfort and his gentle techniques. His expertise and beautiful cosmetic skills are apparent in every thing he does, even a small filling. Our family highly recommends Merit Dental for all your dental needs.

— Thank you for taking a few moments to leave us a 5-star review, Narda. We really appreciate it!

I have been perfectly satisfied with my care at Merit Dental, but am always apprehensive when a new dentist joins the practice. And always relieved when they prove to also be very good. The new dentist continues the trend. She is gentle and easy to talk to about my fears and apprehensions. She's another gem, along with all of the staff there!

— Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Lynn. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us!

The absolute best experience with Alice and Dr.Battle today!!!! I am notoriously difficult to get completely numb and they went the extra mile! If I even flinched they gave me extra numbing and eventually a block to be triple sure I wouldn’t feel a thing and I didn’t!!!!

Steve Butler

Jun 22, 2023

I’ve been going to Merit Dental in Kalamazoo for approximately 5 years. Before that I was at Merit in Portage. The dentists and their skills have always met my needs. The turnover in dentists is uncomfortable and I’ve thought of changing to a more stable practice, BUT the support staff and assistants at Merit Kalamazoo are literally the best I have ever seen. Regardless of the dentist, I know the staff will take care of me and my dental needs. The office manager, receptionists, assistants, and hygienists keep me coming back and make life as a senior the best it could be. Thank You

— Thank you for the kind words Steve. I'm going to share with the whole team. We love hearing from our happy customers!

John Kapenga

Charles Missant

I do NOT recommend this office. From the rude front desk manager to the old, outdated, rooms and dental equipment from the early 1990’s. I had a broken tooth and they said to go visit Aspen Dental for fixation. I recommend you do the same. Save money and deal with real professionals at ASPEN Dental on westnedge.

— Hi Charles, we always want our patients to have a positive experience and we're truly sorry that you did not. We appreciate you sharing your helpful feedback as it will help us improve. If you'd like to provide us additional details please contact us directly at kalamazoo@meritdental.com.

I’m giving this business one star. I have attempted to make multiple appointments from their website and never received a call back and I’ve even called and left a messages and never received a call back to make an appointment. Does not seem like this business has good customer service, and it can only lead one to believe that the services that they provide are subpar as well.

— Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, Herbie. We're sorry your experience wasn't a positive one. If you'd like to provide us additional details, please contact us directly at kalamazoo@meritdental.com.

Ok so, here we go! I have 2 young kids (who basically live off of chicken nuggets and icecream) & aren’t too fond of dentists/doctors- HOWEVER we took both of them here and the staff is SO kind and made the ENTIRE experience so much fun for them, they are actually looking forward to their next appt in 6months. They were super gentle and made the visit one giant “game” for them to earn goodies for home! I never in my life have seen or been to a place that is so kid friendly & kid welcoming! Now for me, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years (I know….) and for the same reasons but again this practice and the staff had made my appt not only enjoyable, relaxing (surprisingly) and after it was over, I am looking forward to my 6mo checkup with them. They were very endearing, professional and kept the mood light which was a nice change from what I’ve experienced in the past with OTHER dental offices. Overall, HIGHLY recommend!??

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Melanie! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

If you are looking for a new dentist, your search is over. My husband and I have been patients here for many years, and if I could rate them with more stars, I would! The entire staff are professional, compassionate, friendly and kind. The quality of care, and dental work we’ve had done is absolutely stellar. Now a days, it isn’t easy to rely on kindness and caring, but you can here. They will take good care of you. Highly recommend!

Love the staff. LaNiece is one of the best dental assistants I’ve had work on me. And although Dr. McBride is a recent addition, I can’t say enough great things about her. Professional, thorough, and caring—just what you want in a dentist. Overall, you’re getting a class act from the welcome in the office to your seat in the dentist’s chair. Great experience!!!

Gotta say this place rocks!! When it comes to customer service other places treat you like a number. Kelly and Cathy really do go above and beyond to meet the needs of the patient. When you fell that the prices are a bit steep they explain to you why they are and sometimes help you out on the bill. I have been in customers service business for 10+ years and its refreshing to visit a place where the staff is dress professionally and the energy is always upbeat. Keep it up guys.

Dr. Magnuson came to me highly recommended by my family. I have been in his care since 2017. Dr. Magnuson is highly skill in restorative dentistry and his chair-side manner is enviable, gentle and gracious. I have found his staff and his hygientists to be well trained and personable. You will enjoy working with this office as his staff is very easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and kind. .

I have been a patient of Dr. Magnuson's for years, and it's always been a great experience. I have never experienced one bit of pain, as I had with dentists in the past. (sorry Doc...you can never retire :) Along with being so good at what he does, Dr. Magnuson is very friendly, as is the rest of the staff. I highly recommend this office.

I am so grateful for the care I’ve received at Merit Dental. Dr. Magnuson and his office’s team members provide top-notch, high quality care and produce excellent results!

The staff there has always been very friendly, helpful and professional. I love the fact that when Dr. Magnuson is doing any kind of procedure he is in constant contact, alerting you on what to expect and what you may feel. There are no surprises then and I'm prepared and more relaxed. I really appreciate this type of "heads up" honesty. No surprises, other than great professional care every time. Even Dr. Caringella, whom I have had recently for a crown, is excellent!

I've been going to Dr. Magnusson and his staff for years. Love them all. My favorite things about them are that Dr. M. doesn't believe in his patients feeling pain and he is a stickler for the way your teeth, partials, etc. look. A perfectionist in all the right ways.

When I had to go to the Dentist I would get sick to my stomach,not sleep the night prior and try everything to not go. I found Dr Magnuson 2 years ago.Aafter my first visit I changed the whole family. We never knew there really were Dentist that cared. After meeting with Dr Magnuson's staff it was determined that I needed extensive dental wor.k I went in for replacement of 5 front fillings. I was offered a CD player,headphones a blanket to keep me warm and nitrous oxide ( which I had never had before) This was the best experience I had ever had at a Dentist. I no longer get anxiety prior to going ( If I do, the caring and calming staff change that) Going to the Dentist is a breeze now. It is no longer an issue thanks to Dr Magnuson and his whole staff they have changed my feelings towards dentists. THANK YOU Bonnie Battle Creek

I’ve been going to Merit Dental in Kalamazoo for approximately 5 years. Before that I was at Merit in Portage. The dentists and their skills have always met my needs. The turnover in dentists is uncomfortable and I’ve thought of changing to a more stable practice, BUT the support staff and assistants at Merit Kalamazoo are literally the best I have ever seen. Regardless of the dentist, I know the staff will take care of me and my dental needs. The office manager, receptionists, assistants, and hygienists keep me coming back and make life as a senior the best it could be. Thank You

— Thank you for the kind words Steve. I'm going to share with the whole team. We love hearing from our happy customers!

I do NOT recommend this office. From the rude front desk manager to the old, outdated, rooms and dental equipment from the early 1990’s. I had a broken tooth and they said to go visit Aspen Dental for fixation. I recommend you do the same. Save money and deal with real professionals at ASPEN Dental on westnedge.

— Hi Charles, we always want our patients to have a positive experience and we're truly sorry that you did not. We appreciate you sharing your helpful feedback as it will help us improve. If you'd like to provide us additional details please contact us directly at kalamazoo@meritdental.com.

I’m giving this business one star. I have attempted to make multiple appointments from their website and never received a call back and I’ve even called and left a messages and never received a call back to make an appointment. Does not seem like this business has good customer service, and it can only lead one to believe that the services that they provide are subpar as well.

Ok so, here we go! I have 2 young kids (who basically live off of chicken nuggets and icecream) & aren’t too fond of dentists/doctors- HOWEVER we took both of them here and the staff is SO kind and made the ENTIRE experience so much fun for them, they are actually looking forward to their next appt in 6months. They were super gentle and made the visit one giant “game” for them to earn goodies for home! I never in my life have seen or been to a place that is so kid friendly & kid welcoming! Now for me, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years (I know….) and for the same reasons but again this practice and the staff had made my appt not only enjoyable, relaxing (surprisingly) and after it was over, I am looking forward to my 6mo checkup with them. They were very endearing, professional and kept the mood light which was a nice change from what I’ve experienced in the past with OTHER dental offices. Overall, HIGHLY recommend!??

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Melanie! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

If you are looking for a new dentist, your search is over. My husband and I have been patients here for many years, and if I could rate them with more stars, I would! The entire staff are professional, compassionate, friendly and kind. The quality of care, and dental work we’ve had done is absolutely stellar. Now a days, it isn’t easy to rely on kindness and caring, but you can here. They will take good care of you. Highly recommend!

Love the staff. LaNiece is one of the best dental assistants I’ve had work on me. And although Dr. McBride is a recent addition, I can’t say enough great things about her. Professional, thorough, and caring—just what you want in a dentist. Overall, you’re getting a class act from the welcome in the office to your seat in the dentist’s chair. Great experience!!!

Gotta say this place rocks!! When it comes to customer service other places treat you like a number. Kelly and Cathy really do go above and beyond to meet the needs of the patient. When you fell that the prices are a bit steep they explain to you why they are and sometimes help you out on the bill. I have been in customers service business for 10+ years and its refreshing to visit a place where the staff is dress professionally and the energy is always upbeat. Keep it up guys.

Dr. Magnuson came to me highly recommended by my family. I have been in his care since 2017. Dr. Magnuson is highly skill in restorative dentistry and his chair-side manner is enviable, gentle and gracious. I have found his staff and his hygientists to be well trained and personable. You will enjoy working with this office as his staff is very easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and kind. .

I have been a patient of Dr. Magnuson's for years, and it's always been a great experience. I have never experienced one bit of pain, as I had with dentists in the past. (sorry Doc...you can never retire :) Along with being so good at what he does, Dr. Magnuson is very friendly, as is the rest of the staff. I highly recommend this office.

The staff there has always been very friendly, helpful and professional. I love the fact that when Dr. Magnuson is doing any kind of procedure he is in constant contact, alerting you on what to expect and what you may feel. There are no surprises then and I'm prepared and more relaxed. I really appreciate this type of "heads up" honesty. No surprises, other than great professional care every time. Even Dr. Caringella, whom I have had recently for a crown, is excellent!

I've been going to Dr. Magnusson and his staff for years. Love them all. My favorite things about them are that Dr. M. doesn't believe in his patients feeling pain and he is a stickler for the way your teeth, partials, etc. look. A perfectionist in all the right ways.

When I had to go to the Dentist I would get sick to my stomach,not sleep the night prior and try everything to not go. I found Dr Magnuson 2 years ago.Aafter my first visit I changed the whole family. We never knew there really were Dentist that cared. After meeting with Dr Magnuson's staff it was determined that I needed extensive dental wor.k I went in for replacement of 5 front fillings. I was offered a CD player,headphones a blanket to keep me warm and nitrous oxide ( which I had never had before) This was the best experience I had ever had at a Dentist. I no longer get anxiety prior to going ( If I do, the caring and calming staff change that) Going to the Dentist is a breeze now. It is no longer an issue thanks to Dr Magnuson and his whole staff they have changed my feelings towards dentists. THANK YOU Bonnie Battle Creek

Ok so, here we go! I have 2 young kids (who basically live off of chicken nuggets and icecream) & aren’t too fond of dentists/doctors- HOWEVER we took both of them here and the staff is SO kind and made the ENTIRE experience so much fun for them, they are actually looking forward to their next appt in 6months. They were super gentle and made the visit one giant “game” for them to earn goodies for home! I never in my life have seen or been to a place that is so kid friendly & kid welcoming! Now for me, I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10 years (I know….) and for the same reasons but again this practice and the staff had made my appt not only enjoyable, relaxing (surprisingly) and after it was over, I am looking forward to my 6mo checkup with them. They were very endearing, professional and kept the mood light which was a nice change from what I’ve experienced in the past with OTHER dental offices. Overall, HIGHLY recommend!??

— Thank you for the 5-star review, Melanie! We are so glad you are happy with your experience with us! We take great pride in providing the very best in care for our patients.

If you are looking for a new dentist, your search is over. My husband and I have been patients here for many years, and if I could rate them with more stars, I would! The entire staff are professional, compassionate, friendly and kind. The quality of care, and dental work we’ve had done is absolutely stellar. Now a days, it isn’t easy to rely on kindness and caring, but you can here. They will take good care of you. Highly recommend!

Love the staff. LaNiece is one of the best dental assistants I’ve had work on me. And although Dr. McBride is a recent addition, I can’t say enough great things about her. Professional, thorough, and caring—just what you want in a dentist. Overall, you’re getting a class act from the welcome in the office to your seat in the dentist’s chair. Great experience!!!

My family switched from a large dental practice that seemed very unorganized. The Merit Dental office is small, friendly, organized, quiet - and you see the same employees each time. It is such a calming environment.

Gotta say this place rocks!! When it comes to customer service other places treat you like a number. Kelly and Cathy really do go above and beyond to meet the needs of the patient. When you fell that the prices are a bit steep they explain to you why they are and sometimes help you out on the bill. I have been in customers service business for 10+ years and its refreshing to visit a place where the staff is dress professionally and the energy is always upbeat. Keep it up guys.

Dr. Magnuson came to me highly recommended by my family. I have been in his care since 2017. Dr. Magnuson is highly skill in restorative dentistry and his chair-side manner is enviable, gentle and gracious. I have found his staff and his hygientists to be well trained and personable. You will enjoy working with this office as his staff is very easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and kind. .

I have been a patient of Dr. Magnuson's for years, and it's always been a great experience. I have never experienced one bit of pain, as I had with dentists in the past. (sorry Doc...you can never retire :) Along with being so good at what he does, Dr. Magnuson is very friendly, as is the rest of the staff. I highly recommend this office.

The staff there has always been very friendly, helpful and professional. I love the fact that when Dr. Magnuson is doing any kind of procedure he is in constant contact, alerting you on what to expect and what you may feel. There are no surprises then and I'm prepared and more relaxed. I really appreciate this type of "heads up" honesty. No surprises, other than great professional care every time. Even Dr. Caringella, whom I have had recently for a crown, is excellent!

I've been going to Dr. Magnusson and his staff for years. Love them all. My favorite things about them are that Dr. M. doesn't believe in his patients feeling pain and he is a stickler for the way your teeth, partials, etc. look. A perfectionist in all the right ways.

When I had to go to the Dentist I would get sick to my stomach,not sleep the night prior and try everything to not go. I found Dr Magnuson 2 years ago.Aafter my first visit I changed the whole family. We never knew there really were Dentist that cared. After meeting with Dr Magnuson's staff it was determined that I needed extensive dental wor.k I went in for replacement of 5 front fillings. I was offered a CD player,headphones a blanket to keep me warm and nitrous oxide ( which I had never had before) This was the best experience I had ever had at a Dentist. I no longer get anxiety prior to going ( If I do, the caring and calming staff change that) Going to the Dentist is a breeze now. It is no longer an issue thanks to Dr Magnuson and his whole staff they have changed my feelings towards dentists. THANK YOU Bonnie Battle Creek
