I have been a patient at Merit Dental for over three decades! I highly recommend both Dr. Balski and Dr. Paly. If you are looking for a dentist that you can trust, who is knowledgeable, who is up to date, and who delivers the highest quality work paying attention to details, you will find it here. The hygienists and the dental assistants are top notch. The dentists and their assistants work in harmony as a team. The biller and the receptionist have gone above and beyond to help with insurance issues, and they have made my dental concerns important. They do everything within their power to schedule timely appointments. The vibe of this office is welcoming, friendly, and caring!

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!

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.

Dr. Balski is the best dentist I’ve ever been to absolutely love her. The office staff and billing experiences have something to be desired. Since they became Merit billing has been atrocious where their estimates aren’t ever close. Call the insurance company they said the office is billing incorrectly with the dual insurance we have. Then the topper is I had an appointment but because they tried to get ahold of me and I didn’t answer they gave my appointment I set up 6 months ago away. If my phone is lost or down (waiting for replacement) how do I know they were trying to get ahold of me. I’ve never had appointment for any of my doctors away because I didn’t answer a phone call.
