Absolutely love Dr. Brystowski and the staff at this location! Colleen is always so patient, answers all of my questions, helps with any concerns I have with my insurance. Marylynn is hilarious and makes my cleanings bearable. All of the ladies in this office are amazing, the staff is happy, they remember your name, and overall it's just a great feeling to be in a place where people enjoy their work. Dr. Brystowski is patient, thorough, and truly spends time when I'm in his chair to ensure that all of my concerns are addressed. I initially came to this office because of issues that I had with my prior dentist, and I am so glad that I did. Dr. B was able to find a problem with a root canal that had been done prior and got me to a endodontist immediately to have it taken care of. I've been a patient ever since.

Alison Grenzicki

May 14, 2024

Let me preface this with I have struggled with finding a great office since Dr. Ockner was down at 12 and Harper. Yesterday was my first visit and immediately the office has a very welcoming feeling. The girls running the desk are so kind when you come in. Marylyn (?) and Michelle are great hygenists. They were so funny and super informed on the work being performed. Dr. B has such great plans in mind and immediately was able to get me a referral for an oral surgeon. This office is a well oiled machine and their hospitality is through the roof. I look forward to my next visit in hopes that it will be as great as this one.

— Hi Alison, thank you for your review. We really appreciate it!

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I had multiple bad experiences in the past and this is the last place I wanted to be. However, this experience was completely different. Michelle, my hygienist was FABULOUS. Michelle made me feel so comfortable in the most uncomfortable time. She did everything to distract me during my deep cleaning. Colleen and Pam who work in the office are so very kind, there energy is like they have known you forever. Dr. B was also wonderful. He took the time to explain things and with the help of Michelle, I will have the best smile for my upcoming wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Merit, especially if you are a nervous nelly like I am. Thank you Michelle and all the staff at Merit. I will see you in December for my next cleaning!

Michelle is the BEST dental hygienist ever. I absolutely HATE going to the dentist.. more than the average person due to past experiences. Ever since I've been coming to Dr. Tisdale's office it has been nothing but wonderful. Michelle puts me at ease by making me laugh.

I am just like my dad when it comes to dentist visits and care of my teeth. Scared, uneasy, and sensitive. However, everyone made it comfortable as they always do for me as well as my dad which is why we stayed with Merit Dental. Dr. Miller was great and will be missed but you can tell that Merit Dental expects the same type of care out of everyone since we received once again great care and consideration of how we feel about dental work and regular visits. Great job, great care, and excellent service as my dad has always taught me will bring a client back. Dawson Sicher and Jeremiah Sicher(DAD)

Dr. Tisdale has been my dentist for years and I wouldn't go to any other dentist. He knows I can't stand pain and does everything he can to cause no pain. Just had an appointment this week. NO PAIN AT ALL. Also, everyone in the office is friendly and patient.

I had my teeth cleaned yesterday by Jennifer Turnquist and she did an amazing job. She made me feel very comfortable, explained what she was going to do, and got me out on time as I was 15 min late. Most importantly, NO PAIN! I really appreciate her knowledge of dentistry and passion for what she does. Thank you and I will be back and refer Jennifer to some of my friends and co-workers.

Excellent dental office. I have been a patient for 20 years. Dr. Tisdale and Dr. Hull are the best. Very easy to get an appointment when there is an unexpected problem with my teeth. Convenient office hours around work schedules. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

I cannot say enough about the Excellence in care that Shores Dental Center,P.C. provides. The girls at the front reception area are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They always know who I am and make a point to ask me how everything is. They even remembered my daughters soccer tournament, from the last time I was in. Dr. Hull and Dr. Tisdale provide top notch dental care. The office takes digital x-rays, which is a bonus in my book. The hygienists are absolutely wonderful! I would and have recommended this office a million times over. If you are looking for a dentist that is up to date with technology and has great chair side manners, Shores Dental Center is for you!

Kayshe's Kitchen

Sep 16, 2024

Absolutely love Dr. Brystowski and the staff at this location! Colleen is always so patient, answers all of my questions, helps with any concerns I have with my insurance. Marylynn is hilarious and makes my cleanings bearable. All of the ladies in this office are amazing, the staff is happy, they remember your name, and overall it's just a great feeling to be in a place where people enjoy their work. Dr. Brystowski is patient, thorough, and truly spends time when I'm in his chair to ensure that all of my concerns are addressed. I initially came to this office because of issues that I had with my prior dentist, and I am so glad that I did. Dr. B was able to find a problem with a root canal that had been done prior and got me to a endodontist immediately to have it taken care of. I've been a patient ever since.

— Hello Kayshe's, thank you so much for your 5-star review! We really appreciate your feedback and will share it with the whole team.

Alison Grenzicki

May 14, 2024

Let me preface this with I have struggled with finding a great office since Dr. Ockner was down at 12 and Harper. Yesterday was my first visit and immediately the office has a very welcoming feeling. The girls running the desk are so kind when you come in. Marylyn (?) and Michelle are great hygenists. They were so funny and super informed on the work being performed. Dr. B has such great plans in mind and immediately was able to get me a referral for an oral surgeon. This office is a well oiled machine and their hospitality is through the roof. I look forward to my next visit in hopes that it will be as great as this one.

— Hi Alison, thank you for your review. We really appreciate it!

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I had multiple bad experiences in the past and this is the last place I wanted to be. However, this experience was completely different. Michelle, my hygienist was FABULOUS. Michelle made me feel so comfortable in the most uncomfortable time. She did everything to distract me during my deep cleaning. Colleen and Pam who work in the office are so very kind, there energy is like they have known you forever. Dr. B was also wonderful. He took the time to explain things and with the help of Michelle, I will have the best smile for my upcoming wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Merit, especially if you are a nervous nelly like I am. Thank you Michelle and all the staff at Merit. I will see you in December for my next cleaning!

Michelle is the BEST dental hygienist ever. I absolutely HATE going to the dentist.. more than the average person due to past experiences. Ever since I've been coming to Dr. Tisdale's office it has been nothing but wonderful. Michelle puts me at ease by making me laugh. Dr. Tisdale is always very gentle and explains what he's doing in detail. Colleen and the office manager always make you feel welcome and appreciated as a patient.

I am just like my dad when it comes to dentist visits and care of my teeth. Scared, uneasy, and sensitive. However, everyone made it comfortable as they always do for me as well as my dad which is why we stayed with Merit Dental. Dr. Miller was great and will be missed but you can tell that Merit Dental expects the same type of care out of everyone since we received once again great care and consideration of how we feel about dental work and regular visits. Great job, great care, and excellent service as my dad has always taught me will bring a client back. Dawson Sicher and Jeremiah Sicher(DAD)

Excellent dental office. I have been a patient for 20 years. Dr. Tisdale and Dr. Hull are the best. Very easy to get an appointment when there is an unexpected problem with my teeth. Convenient office hours around work schedules. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Kristie Shat

Apr 22, 2013

I cannot say enough about the Excellence in care that Shores Dental Center,P.C. provides. The girls at the front reception area are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They always know who I am and make a point to ask me how everything is. They even remembered my daughters soccer tournament, from the last time I was in. Dr. Hull and Dr. Tisdale provide top notch dental care. The office takes digital x-rays, which is a bonus in my book. The hygienists are absolutely wonderful! I would and have recommended this office a million times over. If you are looking for a dentist that is up to date with technology and has great chair side manners, Shores Dental Center is for you!

Absolutely love Dr. Brystowski and the staff at this location! Colleen is always so patient, answers all of my questions, helps with any concerns I have with my insurance. Marylynn is hilarious and makes my cleanings bearable. All of the ladies in this office are amazing, the staff is happy, they remember your name, and overall it's just a great feeling to be in a place where people enjoy their work. Dr. Brystowski is patient, thorough, and truly spends time when I'm in his chair to ensure that all of my concerns are addressed. I initially came to this office because of issues that I had with my prior dentist, and I am so glad that I did. Dr. B was able to find a problem with a root canal that had been done prior and got me to a endodontist immediately to have it taken care of. I've been a patient ever since.

Alison Grenzicki

May 14, 2024

Let me preface this with I have struggled with finding a great office since Dr. Ockner was down at 12 and Harper. Yesterday was my first visit and immediately the office has a very welcoming feeling. The girls running the desk are so kind when you come in. Marylyn (?) and Michelle are great hygenists. They were so funny and super informed on the work being performed. Dr. B has such great plans in mind and immediately was able to get me a referral for an oral surgeon. This office is a well oiled machine and their hospitality is through the roof. I look forward to my next visit in hopes that it will be as great as this one.

— Hi Alison, thank you for your review. We really appreciate it!

10/10 Recommend. I had fallen off track with my dental care after my childhood dentist retired. I was so nervous for my initial consultation due to not getting my teeth cleaned regularly for a few years. From the moment I walked through the door everyone was very welcoming! Dr. Brystowski was very polite and professional! My dental hygienist Marilyn was the best!! She has my teeth looking beautiful again! Definitely pleased with this office and all the staff!

— Hi Kayla, we appreciate you leaving us a review. See you back soon, thank you!

I have extreme anxiety when it comes to the dentist. I had multiple bad experiences in the past and this is the last place I wanted to be. However, this experience was completely different. Michelle, my hygienist was FABULOUS. Michelle made me feel so comfortable in the most uncomfortable time. She did everything to distract me during my deep cleaning. Colleen and Pam who work in the office are so very kind, there energy is like they have known you forever. Dr. B was also wonderful. He took the time to explain things and with the help of Michelle, I will have the best smile for my upcoming wedding. I HIGHLY recommend Merit, especially if you are a nervous nelly like I am. Thank you Michelle and all the staff at Merit. I will see you in December for my next cleaning!

— That is so great to hear. Thank you! It's wonderful to see that you had a positive experience with us.

Michelle is the BEST dental hygienist ever. I absolutely HATE going to the dentist.. more than the average person due to past experiences. Ever since I've been coming to Dr. Tisdale's office it has been nothing but wonderful. Michelle puts me at ease by making me laugh. Dr. Tisdale is always very gentle and explains what he's doing in detail. Colleen and the office manager always make you feel welcome and appreciated as a patient.

I am just like my dad when it comes to dentist visits and care of my teeth. Scared, uneasy, and sensitive. However, everyone made it comfortable as they always do for me as well as my dad which is why we stayed with Merit Dental. Dr. Miller was great and will be missed but you can tell that Merit Dental expects the same type of care out of everyone since we received once again great care and consideration of how we feel about dental work and regular visits. Great job, great care, and excellent service as my dad has always taught me will bring a client back. Dawson Sicher and Jeremiah Sicher(DAD)

I had my teeth cleaned yesterday by Jennifer Turnquist and she did an amazing job. She made me feel very comfortable, explained what she was going to do, and got me out on time as I was 15 min late. Most importantly, NO PAIN! I really appreciate her knowledge of dentistry and passion for what she does. Thank you and I will be back and refer Jennifer to some of my friends and co-workers.

Excellent dental office. I have been a patient for 20 years. Dr. Tisdale and Dr. Hull are the best. Very easy to get an appointment when there is an unexpected problem with my teeth. Convenient office hours around work schedules. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Kristie Shat

I cannot say enough about the Excellence in care that Shores Dental Center,P.C. provides. The girls at the front reception area are friendly, caring, and knowledgeable. They always know who I am and make a point to ask me how everything is. They even remembered my daughters soccer tournament, from the last time I was in. Dr. Hull and Dr. Tisdale provide top notch dental care. The office takes digital x-rays, which is a bonus in my book. The hygienists are absolutely wonderful! I would and have recommended this office a million times over. If you are looking for a dentist that is up to date with technology and has great chair side manners, Shores Dental Center is for you!
