Dr. Russell is truly unique in the medical field, as is her supporting team at the Strongsville Office. I have seen dentists all over the country for the past 20 years; dealing w/ a myriad of dental challenges, & what I can say is that, not only has Dr. Russell resolved my problem in a way that was pain free, but did so in a way that made this feel like it wasn't something I had to do alone...She, and her team, became like family and were there every step of the journey! The entire team is one of a kind and has the perfect balance of knowledge, expertise, and execution. I could not have been any more impressed and they ALL warrant this 5-Star review.

— Thank you for your 5-star review, Andrew. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

My teeth cleaning by Madonna was, as always, thorough, informative & pleasant. She is caring & insists on my being comfortable during the procedure. The staff is also professional, pleasant & helpful. I highly recommend Merit Dental if you are in need or are looking for a new dentist. They are terrific!

My first visit here was great, when I called them back 15 days ago trying to get an ASAP appointment because a temp crown had cracked and fallen off, they denied me any appointments. I don't owe them any money or anything. They just said they can't help me. This is just a bad dental practice, say they accept new patient, then don't have the time to help them at all. I will never go back to this strongsville location, or any merit dental location again. They don't care about their patients.

After seeing the same dentist for years, I had to find a new one due to insurance changes. I went to Merit and they insisted I needed an expensive cleaning instead of a regular one (even though insurance probably wouldn't cover it) and found 3 cavities...I was surprised since I regularly go to the dentist and have never needed more than a basic cleaning and did not have any cavities 6 months ago at my last appointment. I declined the expensive cleaning and asked for a regular cleaning instead of, but they refused, so I left. Then, they called me back the next day and told me they would let me come back and make an appointment for a regular basic cleaning now. Instead, I went for a second opinion elsewhere and they found ZERO cavities and said my normal basic cleaning was all that was needed. Be very careful of this place, upon searching I have found other reviews with similar stories. Thank goodness I went for a second opinion elsewhere and found an honest dentist/practice.

Merit Dental employs the most caring staff, from the recepionists to the person who cleans my teeth, they all take pride in their jobs and are so nice. Going to the dentist, obviously is not the most pleasant experience. However, everyone who works there truly does their best to make you feel comfortable. My dentist is a perfectionist, and that is definitely what I want when having dental work done. I appreciate the extra effort on everyone's part to make sure everything they can do to make my experience the best possible is done.

I have been meaning to write this review for quite a while now. Everyone from the front office, to the dental hygienists, and doctor have such a nice manner about them.

I'D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU! Seriously, I went there with a problem tooth and she referred me to an endodontist saying that they had much better imaging equipment, something like a cat scan. Well all they have is an x-ray very much like her's and had no idea what she was talking about. So WHY did she say that to me? I guess I'll never know and at this point couldn't care less. I even tried going back to get my teeth cleaned. That was a mistake. I will never go back even if that means every tooth I have rotting out of my head. I have never been so disappointed in a dental practice in my life. I'm worse off now with having a root canal that didn't help, my pain is way up (days and days later) and I'm out a bunch of money from my insurance and my pocket. Literally, Go There At Your Own Risk!

I’ve rarely had a good experience at the dentist and it’s normally something that I dread. But I can genuinely say that visiting Merit Dental was the nicest, easiest, most comfortable visit to a dentist’s office that I have ever had. Every single person that I interacted was incredibly caring and comforting. They got me in same day for a very painful toothache and did everything they could that day to help me feel better. The reception staff was amazing, and you can tell that everyone from the reception staff to the dentist herself cares about the experience that each patient receives. Even though going to the dentist can cause an extreme amount of anxiety, she did an amazing job at explaining to me what was happening, which majorly decreased the amount of anxiety that I had. I will be using this office for my dental needs for the foreseeable future, as well as recommending it to anyone I know that is in need of dental care.

— Hi Gabrielle, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

Cindy Meadows

My family and I have been patients here for about 10 years. I honestly do not have one complaint. Madonna is my hygienist. She is easygoing, kind,compassionate and thorough. The front desk staff are amazing, I've never seen them not be courteous. Dr Russell is compassionate, thorough and explains every step of the process of anything she does to you. There have never been any surprises with her care to me. I've had several dentists in the past, all have been good but this group exceeds them. To the point that my husband bakes things and drops them off to the staff, even if he doesn't have an appointment that day. I highly recommend!

— Thanks for making us smile, Cindy! We appreciate your review.

Paige Sebelin

Best dentist office I've ever been to! I missed my cleaning at my other dental office, and they were not able to rebook me for another six months. I called Merit dental, and they were able to get me in the same week. The front desk staff greeted me with a warm smile! Madonna the hygienist was awesome. She taught me a lot of information about dental health. The dentist was nice as well. Everyone was very personable.

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

This is a great place to go if you love crooks! They told me I had 5 cavities after saying I had 0 cavities 6 months prior. I got a second opinion and only had 2. They also performed unnecessary work on my family members. They don't treat you like a person whose health they care about, they treat you like a fat paycheck.

Ms Rita filled 2 cavities that I had. Don’t ask where because that is how great of a job she did. She was great and easy to work with for my teeth. Madonna has cleaned my teeth and she is very pleasant and I would use her again for any cleaning. Great company to work with for your dental needs.

Beth Vadini

Apr 25, 2023

We were long-term Clients of five points dentistry, and then they switched to Merit dental. They recently billed me for a procedure that took place over two years ago when Covid was going on. I have outstanding insurance that covers our dentistry and I always pay it off in full anything that is over. My husband was told we were 100 percent caught up and would not owe anything. Then, we got this late bill again. They then said they could negotiate. My husband paid half for a totally bogus charge. Let’s see if they do the right thing and refund this. Otherwise, I would stay clear of this practice and their very poor bookkeeper. If I could give them a zero star I would!

— Hi Beth, Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to improve and make your next visit an exceptional one. If you'd like to provide us any additional details, please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Nick Vadini

Apr 18, 2023

First off, they billed me for something that was literally 3 years ago. I'm not kidding. I can't make this up nor am I the person to say bad things until it's completely out of line like this place. In person they told me I was all payed up. Hard to prove bc it's my word agisnt their word. Secondly, the good reviews you see are mostly from the previous 5 points density which did a much greater job all around. The customer service her is at its worst the lady on the phone was rude. If I could have this company shut down, I would. Absolutely horrible or learn the hard way like I did.

— Hi Nick, I'm so sorry that your experience with us wasn't a positive one. If you would like to provide any additional information please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Elizabeth Luppi

Mar 31, 2023

This place is completely inept when it comes to billing practices. My family hasn’t been patients for a couple of years and we randomly have received two bills in the mail. They don’t say for who, what or when. When I called, I was told they missed the claim submitted and that we wouldn’t be responsible (well duh, you only have so long to bill claims before the dental insurance rejects it). I’ve actually called the Ohio Attorney Generals office as I’m concerned about their business practices. Please avoid! There are plenty of other practices nearby that are not run by corporate dental companies.

— Hi Elizabeth, 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 strongsville@meritdental.com.

Elizabeth Kolesar

Feb 28, 2023

If I could leave less than a one star rating I would.....I would not recommend Merit dental in Strongsville to anyone. Aside from them cancelling my cleaning and telling me "to call back in a few months" because they had no hygienst, I called twice about a bill I was questioning after paying in full in the office and was told they would call me back if the bill needed to be paid. I never received a phone call, or another bill, and they sent a $300 bill to collections!! This is absurd. Terrible office management and terrible customer service. I would stay far away from this one. My tenure here was very short for obvious reasons. Middleburg Heights Family denistry was an absolute breat of fresh air.

Dr. Russel is one of the best! She is super professional, personable, and does quality work. I was so thankful that she stepped in as the new Dentist at this location.

I had my annual teeth cleaning done by Shannon, a dental hygienist at Merit Dental in Macedonia. OH and I want to go on record that I have been to several dental hygienists in my years of going to the dentist, and Shannon has outshine them all! Shannon makes you feel at ease and removes any anxiety you may have coming in for your annual teeth cleaning. Shannon is people friendly and has a great sense of humor and leaves just smiling. You look forward to seeing Shannon on your next visit. I highly recommend Shannon as your next dental hygienist ar Merit Dental.

Sad to say but this dental office has gone downhill after Merit took over from Dr. Mario and Dr. Tom. I had been with them for decades. Now there are multiple cancelations and turnover of Doctors and staff. Not happy with the dental care I have received.

Diana Skorepa

Apr 06, 2022

I had a less than satisfactory visit in November, 2021 and I called the office to let them know. I expected that perhaps the office manager would call me to discuss my concerns, but I never heard from anyone. I now have dental insurance and Merit is not on the provider list, so I will not be returning.

This practice has gone downhill since the corporate Merit takeover. I have gone to another practice since Merit seems to care more about the $$$s than the patient. There also seems to be a lot of turnover in staff.

Quality and service is lacking since change of ownership. They were less than honest with me in my most recent interactions with them, and I have changed dentists as a result.

Kurt Buchholz

I have nothing but the highest praise for all the employees at Merit Dental. From the courteous reminder calls the day before each appointment, to the warm welcome at the front desk, the support staff is terrific. I received a fantastic care from Dr. Habib Ghorbaniparvar, who has recently left the practice. He was a kind and caring man. Fortunately, I am now under the care of Dr Dan Hagigi, who is also warm and personable and very professional. Gina, one of the dental assistants, is consistently thorough, very knowledgeable, and a kind and caring person. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Jennilyn Ramaglia

Sep 21, 2020

I have been coming to this office for many years. This place used to be amazing. When the ownership changed a year ago, the place went bad fast. The desk staff is rude, and scheduling an appointment was done with eye rolls when i asked for a different day, and a rudely stated answer to another simple question. The hygenists are okay, but the general feel in the office went from obviously satisfied staff with good attitudes to staff just there to get a pay check. Gone are the pleasantries and kindness. Go somwhere else.

Melissa Picone

Jan 27, 2020

This place used to be the best. Dr. Tom was world class. He retired and the place has gone down hill fast. They broke my husbands veneers during a routine cavity fill. Something that should’ve taken 45 minutes took 90. Hygienist was dropping instruments on the floor. Miserable experience.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hamid. He answered any question that I had and he explained everything for me before and after the treatment. I would highly recommend him to everyone that is looking for a dentist!

Donna Michaels

Oct 17, 2019

Merit Dental is undergoing a lot of personnel changes. The new dentists leave a lot to be desired. I was blindsided at my appt today when my dentist refused to give me my Invisaligners unless I agreed to another very expensive procedure. I said that I would be happy to schedule the procedure in 2 months when my Invisaligner program was over. Although I have paid for the Invisaligners in full and the former dentists I saw were in agreement with my treatment the new dentist refused to give me the Invisaligners. Totally unprofessional. I was warned about the new female dentist before I even saw her several weeks ago. I will not return to this office.

— Hi Donna, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. We apologize for the confusion. Please reach out if you need anything else.

Wrote raving review 5 months ago... Now a 1 star. Had a filling pop off. Set appointment right away. Went in for missing filling left with a onlay. Paid $713 out of pocket because they were out of network. Had no idea there would be more to pay. 5 months later being asked for another $621. Should of found somewhere in network and less money hungry. Should of just replaced the filling. That's what you get for trusting...Don't make the same mistake I did.

I have been coming here for many many years. Dr Thomas has been outstanding, but more importantly, stands behind his work. I'm the type of person w the odds against me if in a situation where something could go either way. With my last root canal, he was a man of his word and did right by me. You usually don't come across this type of loyalty with anyone in the medical field honoring this type of character. Another highpoint is the one stop crown installment as opposed to return appts for fittings and temporaries. The staff is ever so nice and happy to see you walk in. I always look forward to the paraffin wax hand bath, the warm neckroll, and enjoy watching a movie during a long treatment. It keeps your mind off of what is going on. Yes, I would definately recommend Merit Dental in Strongsville, OH!

I have never been to a dental practice and thought, "Wow, that was an enjoyable experience," until I began going to Five Points Dentistry. The staff was patient, kind and listened to your needs. They did a great job on making you feel welcome while explaining their process. They did a thorough job. I highly recommend this dentistry.

Been going to this practice since it opened. I love how friendly and respectful the staff is of my time and dental needs. And I really love the paraffin hand treatments I get (for free!) during my teeth cleaning. Even after moving in the opposite direction, I still travel over 30 minutes to stay with Five Points! Sara is the best hygienist too!

I recently visited Five Points Dentistry and had a pleasant experience. A small part of my bridge broke off and Doctor Rocco fixed it to that I would not have a sharp edge on the tooth. The appointment was within 2 days of discovering the problem and it was fixed within an hour of arriving at the office. Thank you.

Great experience here! I’m used to old school teeth cleaning using the pick and tools. At Five Points, they use a water pick. Not as good as I’d like, but the wonderful staff, atmosphere and service makes up for that.

Love Five Points Dentistry! It’s so relaxing getting a paraphin wax and a warm neck towel. Staci and the rest of the staff is warm and friendly and Dr. Thomas is a hoot! Also, I’ve never seen kids so excited to go to the dentist. There is so much for them!

Lee Beuther

My most recent visit was for a routine cleaning and checkup. As usual, the visit was pleasant and relaxing, more like a spa visit than a dentist appt. For the first time in my life, I don't dread dental visits! Smiles all around, and an extremely efficient staff.

Being a nurse with experience you get to recognize and admire the skill sets of others and how they interact with each other and build on their skill levels the precision and attention to details is remarkable all the while attending to your comfort. Frequent check ups is key to keeping a smile into your old age (there I said it) I have to work at my smile with prevention intervention on my part and they take care of the rest from crowns, to root canals it's all there.

Excellent dental office. Excellent customer service. Love the Cerec crown option...they perform all services in the office in ONE (1) visit. No taking molds and waiting for the crown to be made and shipped back only to have to come back at another time. They mill the crown specific for you in office...only a couple of hours of your time!

I used to be petrified of going to the dentist, as I had a dentist who used no novocain for small or large cavities and I also had a lot of orthodontic and oral surgeries. I now look forward to going to the dentist thanks to this wonderful staff at Five Points! They are all so personable, gentle yet very efficient and professional. They are up front about costs and procedures and seem to genuinely care about every patient. Their exams are extremely thorough (oral cancer, etc.) And the water system they use for cleaning your teeth--the best thing since sliced bread! They have all of the latest and greatest tools that make all of the difference. They even offer free water and juices while you wait and offer a heated neck pillow while they work on you! Hi praises for Five Points!

Five Points Dentistry is a full service dentist! You know you are getting the best & most up to date dental evaluation & care. No need to be nervous about going to the dentist. You can have a heated neck wrap, a paraffin hand treatment all while watching your own personal TV. If that isn't enough the hygienist will put you at ease. Dr. Tom Thomas & Dr. Mario Pavicic experience is second to none & your whole family is in good hands with them.

PATIENT REVIEWS

Nov 30, 2024

Dr. Russell is truly unique in the medical field, as is her supporting team at the Strongsville Office. I have seen dentists all over the country for the past 20 years; dealing w/ a myriad of dental challenges, & what I can say is that, not only has Dr. Russell resolved my problem in a way that was pain free, but did so in a way that made this feel like it wasn't something I had to do alone...She, and her team, became like family and were there every step of the journey! The entire team is one of a kind and has the perfect balance of knowledge, expertise, and execution. I could not have been any more impressed and they ALL warrant this 5-Star review.

My first visit here was great, when I called them back 15 days ago trying to get an ASAP appointment because a temp crown had cracked and fallen off, they denied me any appointments. I don't owe them any money or anything. They just said they can't help me. This is just a bad dental practice, say they accept new patient, then don't have the time to help them at all. I will never go back to this strongsville location, or any merit dental location again. They don't care about their patients.

After seeing the same dentist for years, I had to find a new one due to insurance changes. I went to Merit and they insisted I needed an expensive cleaning instead of a regular one (even though insurance probably wouldn't cover it) and found 3 cavities...I was surprised since I regularly go to the dentist and have never needed more than a basic cleaning and did not have any cavities 6 months ago at my last appointment. I declined the expensive cleaning and asked for a regular cleaning instead of, but they refused, so I left. Then, they called me back the next day and told me they would let me come back and make an appointment for a regular basic cleaning now. Instead, I went for a second opinion elsewhere and they found ZERO cavities and said my normal basic cleaning was all that was needed. Be very careful of this place, upon searching I have found other reviews with similar stories. Thank goodness I went for a second opinion elsewhere and found an honest dentist/practice.

Merit Dental employs the most caring staff, from the recepionists to the person who cleans my teeth, they all take pride in their jobs and are so nice. Going to the dentist, obviously is not the most pleasant experience. However, everyone who works there truly does their best to make you feel comfortable. My dentist is a perfectionist, and that is definitely what I want when having dental work done. I appreciate the extra effort on everyone's part to make sure everything they can do to make my experience the best possible is done.

linksterism

Jul 25, 2024

I'D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU! Seriously, I went there with a problem tooth and she referred me to an endodontist saying that they had much better imaging equipment, something like a cat scan. Well all they have is an x-ray very much like her's and had no idea what she was talking about. So WHY did she say that to me? I guess I'll never know and at this point couldn't care less. I even tried going back to get my teeth cleaned. That was a mistake. I will never go back even if that means every tooth I have rotting out of my head. I have never been so disappointed in a dental practice in my life. I'm worse off now with having a root canal that didn't help, my pain is way up (days and days later) and I'm out a bunch of money from my insurance and my pocket. Literally, Go There At Your Own Risk!

Gabrielle Porrazzo

Jul 18, 2024

I’ve rarely had a good experience at the dentist and it’s normally something that I dread. But I can genuinely say that visiting Merit Dental was the nicest, easiest, most comfortable visit to a dentist’s office that I have ever had. Every single person that I interacted was incredibly caring and comforting. They got me in same day for a very painful toothache and did everything they could that day to help me feel better. The reception staff was amazing, and you can tell that everyone from the reception staff to the dentist herself cares about the experience that each patient receives. Even though going to the dentist can cause an extreme amount of anxiety, she did an amazing job at explaining to me what was happening, which majorly decreased the amount of anxiety that I had. I will be using this office for my dental needs for the foreseeable future, as well as recommending it to anyone I know that is in need of dental care.

— Hi Gabrielle, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

Cindy Meadows

Jun 08, 2024

My family and I have been patients here for about 10 years. I honestly do not have one complaint. Madonna is my hygienist. She is easygoing, kind,compassionate and thorough. The front desk staff are amazing, I've never seen them not be courteous. Dr Russell is compassionate, thorough and explains every step of the process of anything she does to you. There have never been any surprises with her care to me. I've had several dentists in the past, all have been good but this group exceeds them. To the point that my husband bakes things and drops them off to the staff, even if he doesn't have an appointment that day. I highly recommend!

— Thanks for making us smile, Cindy! We appreciate your review.

Paige Sebelin

Best dentist office I've ever been to! I missed my cleaning at my other dental office, and they were not able to rebook me for another six months. I called Merit dental, and they were able to get me in the same week. The front desk staff greeted me with a warm smile! Madonna the hygienist was awesome. She taught me a lot of information about dental health. The dentist was nice as well. Everyone was very personable.

This is a great place to go if you love crooks! They told me I had 5 cavities after saying I had 0 cavities 6 months prior. I got a second opinion and only had 2. They also performed unnecessary work on my family members. They don't treat you like a person whose health they care about, they treat you like a fat paycheck.

I had an excellent experience at the dentist. Madonna was the hygienist and she was excellent… Calm and reassuring and constantly checking if I was OK. The substitute dentist was very kind.

— Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback, Joy. We are happy to hear your kind words.

Beth Vadini

We were long-term Clients of five points dentistry, and then they switched to Merit dental. They recently billed me for a procedure that took place over two years ago when Covid was going on. I have outstanding insurance that covers our dentistry and I always pay it off in full anything that is over. My husband was told we were 100 percent caught up and would not owe anything. Then, we got this late bill again. They then said they could negotiate. My husband paid half for a totally bogus charge. Let’s see if they do the right thing and refund this. Otherwise, I would stay clear of this practice and their very poor bookkeeper. If I could give them a zero star I would!

— Hi Beth, Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to improve and make your next visit an exceptional one. If you'd like to provide us any additional details, please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Nick Vadini

Apr 18, 2023

First off, they billed me for something that was literally 3 years ago. I'm not kidding. I can't make this up nor am I the person to say bad things until it's completely out of line like this place. In person they told me I was all payed up. Hard to prove bc it's my word agisnt their word. Secondly, the good reviews you see are mostly from the previous 5 points density which did a much greater job all around. The customer service her is at its worst the lady on the phone was rude. If I could have this company shut down, I would. Absolutely horrible or learn the hard way like I did.

— Hi Nick, I'm so sorry that your experience with us wasn't a positive one. If you would like to provide any additional information please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Nicole Herbst

I'm so glad I found Merit Dental! It took me 3 years to get back to a dentist! The team at Strongsville is just incredible and caring! I can now say that I look forward to going to the dentist!

— Thanks for making us smile! We appreciate such a great review!

Elizabeth Luppi

Mar 31, 2023

This place is completely inept when it comes to billing practices. My family hasn’t been patients for a couple of years and we randomly have received two bills in the mail. They don’t say for who, what or when. When I called, I was told they missed the claim submitted and that we wouldn’t be responsible (well duh, you only have so long to bill claims before the dental insurance rejects it). I’ve actually called the Ohio Attorney Generals office as I’m concerned about their business practices. Please avoid! There are plenty of other practices nearby that are not run by corporate dental companies.

— Hi Elizabeth, 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 strongsville@meritdental.com.

Elizabeth Kolesar

Feb 28, 2023

If I could leave less than a one star rating I would.....I would not recommend Merit dental in Strongsville to anyone. Aside from them cancelling my cleaning and telling me "to call back in a few months" because they had no hygienst, I called twice about a bill I was questioning after paying in full in the office and was told they would call me back if the bill needed to be paid. I never received a phone call, or another bill, and they sent a $300 bill to collections!! This is absurd. Terrible office management and terrible customer service. I would stay far away from this one. My tenure here was very short for obvious reasons. Middleburg Heights Family denistry was an absolute breat of fresh air.

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

Great Service by the staff at Merit! Everyone is very friendly and professional. Any issues are are presented right away and explained, along with a plan to go forward, even if the best option is to wait. Would recommend Dr. Russell and staff to anyone!

Dr. Russel is one of the best! She is super professional, personable, and does quality work. I was so thankful that she stepped in as the new Dentist at this location. I also love when Rita works on my teeth. She is patient, genuine, and always makes sure her fillings are quality and to perfection! I plan to request her every time I have an appointment!

— Thank you so much for your kind words, Ashley. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. We count ourselves lucky for patients like you!

I had my annual teeth cleaning done by Shannon, a dental hygienist at Merit Dental in Macedonia. OH and I want to go on record that I have been to several dental hygienists in my years of going to the dentist, and Shannon has outshine them all! Shannon makes you feel at ease and removes any anxiety you may have coming in for your annual teeth cleaning. Shannon is people friendly and has a great sense of humor and leaves just smiling. You look forward to seeing Shannon on your next visit. I highly recommend Shannon as your next dental hygienist ar Merit Dental.

Sad to say but this dental office has gone downhill after Merit took over from Dr. Mario and Dr. Tom. I had been with them for decades. Now there are multiple cancelations and turnover of Doctors and staff. Not happy with the dental care I have received.

Diana Skorepa

Apr 06, 2022

I had a less than satisfactory visit in November, 2021 and I called the office to let them know. I expected that perhaps the office manager would call me to discuss my concerns, but I never heard from anyone. I now have dental insurance and Merit is not on the provider list, so I will not be returning.

This practice has gone downhill since the corporate Merit takeover. I have gone to another practice since Merit seems to care more about the $$$s than the patient. There also seems to be a lot of turnover in staff.

I have nothing but the highest praise for all the employees at Merit Dental. From the courteous reminder calls the day before each appointment, to the warm welcome at the front desk, the support staff is terrific. I received a fantastic care from Dr. Habib Ghorbaniparvar, who has recently left the practice. He was a kind and caring man. Fortunately, I am now under the care of Dr Dan Hagigi, who is also warm and personable and very professional. Gina, one of the dental assistants, is consistently thorough, very knowledgeable, and a kind and caring person. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Jennilyn Ramaglia

Sep 21, 2020

I have been coming to this office for many years. This place used to be amazing. When the ownership changed a year ago, the place went bad fast. The desk staff is rude, and scheduling an appointment was done with eye rolls when i asked for a different day, and a rudely stated answer to another simple question. The hygenists are okay, but the general feel in the office went from obviously satisfied staff with good attitudes to staff just there to get a pay check. Gone are the pleasantries and kindness. Go somwhere else.

Melissa Picone

Jan 27, 2020

This place used to be the best. Dr. Tom was world class. He retired and the place has gone down hill fast. They broke my husbands veneers during a routine cavity fill. Something that should’ve taken 45 minutes took 90. Hygienist was dropping instruments on the floor. Miserable experience.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hamid. He answered any question that I had and he explained everything for me before and after the treatment. I would highly recommend him to everyone that is looking for a dentist!

Donna Michaels

Oct 17, 2019

Merit Dental is undergoing a lot of personnel changes. The new dentists leave a lot to be desired. I was blindsided at my appt today when my dentist refused to give me my Invisaligners unless I agreed to another very expensive procedure. I said that I would be happy to schedule the procedure in 2 months when my Invisaligner program was over. Although I have paid for the Invisaligners in full and the former dentists I saw were in agreement with my treatment the new dentist refused to give me the Invisaligners. Totally unprofessional. I was warned about the new female dentist before I even saw her several weeks ago. I will not return to this office.

— Hi Donna, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. We apologize for the confusion. Please reach out if you need anything else.

Wrote raving review 5 months ago... Now a 1 star. Had a filling pop off. Set appointment right away. Went in for missing filling left with a onlay. Paid $713 out of pocket because they were out of network. Had no idea there would be more to pay. 5 months later being asked for another $621. Should of found somewhere in network and less money hungry. Should of just replaced the filling. That's what you get for trusting...Don't make the same mistake I did.

Fran Hallis

Feb 07, 2019

I have been coming here for many many years. Dr Thomas has been outstanding, but more importantly, stands behind his work. I'm the type of person w the odds against me if in a situation where something could go either way. With my last root canal, he was a man of his word and did right by me. You usually don't come across this type of loyalty with anyone in the medical field honoring this type of character. Another highpoint is the one stop crown installment as opposed to return appts for fittings and temporaries. The staff is ever so nice and happy to see you walk in. I always look forward to the paraffin wax hand bath, the warm neckroll, and enjoy watching a movie during a long treatment. It keeps your mind off of what is going on. Yes, I would definately recommend Merit Dental in Strongsville, OH!

The appointment was within 2 days of discovering the problem and it was fixed within an hour of arriving at the office. Thank you.

Being a nurse with experience you get to recognize and admire the skill sets of others and how they interact with each other and build on their skill levels the precision and attention to details is remarkable all the while attending to your comfort. Frequent check ups is key to keeping a smile into your old age (there I said it) I have to work at my smile with prevention intervention on my part and they take care of the rest from crowns, to root canals it's all there.

No taking molds and waiting for the crown to be made and shipped back only to have to come back at another time. They mill the crown specific for you in office...only a couple of hours of your time!

I used to be petrified of going to the dentist, as I had a dentist who used no novocain for small or large cavities and I also had a lot of orthodontic and oral surgeries. I now look forward to going to the dentist thanks to this wonderful staff at Five Points! They are all so personable, gentle yet very efficient and professional. They are up front about costs and procedures and seem to genuinely care about every patient. Their exams are extremely thorough (oral cancer, etc.) And the water system they use for cleaning your teeth--the best thing since sliced bread! They have all of the latest and greatest tools that make all of the difference. They even offer free water and juices while you wait and offer a heated neck pillow while they work on you! Hi praises for Five Points!

I have never had such a wonderful experience at any dental office EVER!!! The staff went above and beyond even before I had my first appointment (Thanks Jessica) They were kind, professional, and showed genuine concern in helping me recover from my previous dental experience. Stacie and Dr. Thomas were GREAT. I am so grateful to have found you and to now be under your care. Thanks!

Five Points Dentistry is a full service dentist! You know you are getting the best & most up to date dental evaluation & care. No need to be nervous about going to the dentist. You can have a heated neck wrap, a paraffin hand treatment all while watching your own personal TV. If that isn't enough the hygienist will put you at ease. Dr. Tom Thomas & Dr. Mario Pavicic experience is second to none & your whole family is in good hands with them.

PATIENT REVIEWS

Andrew

Nov 30, 2024

Dr. Russell is truly unique in the medical field, as is her supporting team at the Strongsville Office. I have seen dentists all over the country for the past 20 years; dealing w/ a myriad of dental challenges, & what I can say is that, not only has Dr. Russell resolved my problem in a way that was pain free, but did so in a way that made this feel like it wasn't something I had to do alone...She, and her team, became like family and were there every step of the journey! The entire team is one of a kind and has the perfect balance of knowledge, expertise, and execution. I could not have been any more impressed and they ALL warrant this 5-Star review.

— Thank you for your 5-star review, Andrew. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.

My teeth cleaning by Madonna was, as always, thorough, informative & pleasant. She is caring & insists on my being comfortable during the procedure.

Jim Arnold

Nov 11, 2024

My first visit here was great, when I called them back 15 days ago trying to get an ASAP appointment because a temp crown had cracked and fallen off, they denied me any appointments. I don't owe them any money or anything. They just said they can't help me. This is just a bad dental practice, say they accept new patient, then don't have the time to help them at all. I will never go back to this strongsville location, or any merit dental location again. They don't care about their patients.

After seeing the same dentist for years, I had to find a new one due to insurance changes. I went to Merit and they insisted I needed an expensive cleaning instead of a regular one (even though insurance probably wouldn't cover it) and found 3 cavities...I was surprised since I regularly go to the dentist and have never needed more than a basic cleaning and did not have any cavities 6 months ago at my last appointment. I declined the expensive cleaning and asked for a regular cleaning instead of, but they refused, so I left. Then, they called me back the next day and told me they would let me come back and make an appointment for a regular basic cleaning now. Instead, I went for a second opinion elsewhere and they found ZERO cavities and said my normal basic cleaning was all that was needed. Be very careful of this place, upon searching I have found other reviews with similar stories. Thank goodness I went for a second opinion elsewhere and found an honest dentist/practice.

Kelly Cooper

Oct 26, 2024

Merit Dental employs the most caring staff, from the recepionists to the person who cleans my teeth, they all take pride in their jobs and are so nice. Going to the dentist, obviously is not the most pleasant experience. However, everyone who works there truly does their best to make you feel comfortable. My dentist is a perfectionist, and that is definitely what I want when having dental work done. I appreciate the extra effort on everyone's part to make sure everything they can do to make my experience the best possible is done.

linksterism

Jul 25, 2024

I'D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU! Seriously, I went there with a problem tooth and she referred me to an endodontist saying that they had much better imaging equipment, something like a cat scan. Well all they have is an x-ray very much like her's and had no idea what she was talking about. So WHY did she say that to me? I guess I'll never know and at this point couldn't care less. I even tried going back to get my teeth cleaned. That was a mistake. I will never go back even if that means every tooth I have rotting out of my head. I have never been so disappointed in a dental practice in my life. I'm worse off now with having a root canal that didn't help, my pain is way up (days and days later) and I'm out a bunch of money from my insurance and my pocket. Literally, Go There At Your Own Risk!

Gabrielle Porrazzo

Jul 18, 2024

I’ve rarely had a good experience at the dentist and it’s normally something that I dread. But I can genuinely say that visiting Merit Dental was the nicest, easiest, most comfortable visit to a dentist’s office that I have ever had. Every single person that I interacted was incredibly caring and comforting. They got me in same day for a very painful toothache and did everything they could that day to help me feel better. The reception staff was amazing, and you can tell that everyone from the reception staff to the dentist herself cares about the experience that each patient receives. Even though going to the dentist can cause an extreme amount of anxiety, she did an amazing job at explaining to me what was happening, which majorly decreased the amount of anxiety that I had. I will be using this office for my dental needs for the foreseeable future, as well as recommending it to anyone I know that is in need of dental care.

— Hi Gabrielle, thank you for your 5-star review, we really appreciate it! We're going to share it with the whole team.

Cindy Meadows

Jun 08, 2024

My family and I have been patients here for about 10 years. I honestly do not have one complaint. Madonna is my hygienist. She is easygoing, kind,compassionate and thorough. The front desk staff are amazing, I've never seen them not be courteous. Dr Russell is compassionate, thorough and explains every step of the process of anything she does to you. There have never been any surprises with her care to me. I've had several dentists in the past, all have been good but this group exceeds them. To the point that my husband bakes things and drops them off to the staff, even if he doesn't have an appointment that day. I highly recommend!

— Thanks for making us smile, Cindy! We appreciate your review.

Paige Sebelin

May 31, 2024

Best dentist office I've ever been to! I missed my cleaning at my other dental office, and they were not able to rebook me for another six months. I called Merit dental, and they were able to get me in the same week. The front desk staff greeted me with a warm smile! Madonna the hygienist was awesome. She taught me a lot of information about dental health. The dentist was nice as well. Everyone was very personable.

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

Leslie

May 10, 2024

This is a great place to go if you love crooks! They told me I had 5 cavities after saying I had 0 cavities 6 months prior. I got a second opinion and only had 2. They also performed unnecessary work on my family members. They don't treat you like a person whose health they care about, they treat you like a fat paycheck.

— Hi Leslie, we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. If you'd like to provide any additional details, please contact our team directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Dana McKee

Ms Rita filled 2 cavities that I had. Don’t ask where because that is how great of a job she did. She was great and easy to work with for my teeth. Madonna has cleaned my teeth and she is very pleasant and I would use her again for any cleaning. Great company to work with for your dental needs.

Beth Vadini

Apr 25, 2023

We were long-term Clients of five points dentistry, and then they switched to Merit dental. They recently billed me for a procedure that took place over two years ago when Covid was going on. I have outstanding insurance that covers our dentistry and I always pay it off in full anything that is over. My husband was told we were 100 percent caught up and would not owe anything. Then, we got this late bill again. They then said they could negotiate. My husband paid half for a totally bogus charge. Let’s see if they do the right thing and refund this. Otherwise, I would stay clear of this practice and their very poor bookkeeper. If I could give them a zero star I would!

— Hi Beth, Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to improve and make your next visit an exceptional one. If you'd like to provide us any additional details, please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Nick Vadini

Apr 18, 2023

First off, they billed me for something that was literally 3 years ago. I'm not kidding. I can't make this up nor am I the person to say bad things until it's completely out of line like this place. In person they told me I was all payed up. Hard to prove bc it's my word agisnt their word. Secondly, the good reviews you see are mostly from the previous 5 points density which did a much greater job all around. The customer service her is at its worst the lady on the phone was rude. If I could have this company shut down, I would. Absolutely horrible or learn the hard way like I did.

— Hi Nick, I'm so sorry that your experience with us wasn't a positive one. If you would like to provide any additional information please contact us directly at strongsville@meritdental.com.

Elizabeth Luppi

Mar 31, 2023

This place is completely inept when it comes to billing practices. My family hasn’t been patients for a couple of years and we randomly have received two bills in the mail. They don’t say for who, what or when. When I called, I was told they missed the claim submitted and that we wouldn’t be responsible (well duh, you only have so long to bill claims before the dental insurance rejects it). I’ve actually called the Ohio Attorney Generals office as I’m concerned about their business practices. Please avoid! There are plenty of other practices nearby that are not run by corporate dental companies.

— Hi Elizabeth, 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 strongsville@meritdental.com.

Elizabeth Kolesar

Feb 28, 2023

If I could leave less than a one star rating I would.....I would not recommend Merit dental in Strongsville to anyone. Aside from them cancelling my cleaning and telling me "to call back in a few months" because they had no hygienst, I called twice about a bill I was questioning after paying in full in the office and was told they would call me back if the bill needed to be paid. I never received a phone call, or another bill, and they sent a $300 bill to collections!! This is absurd. Terrible office management and terrible customer service. I would stay far away from this one. My tenure here was very short for obvious reasons. Middleburg Heights Family denistry was an absolute breat of fresh air.

Dr. Russel is one of the best! She is super professional, personable, and does quality work. I was so thankful that she stepped in as the new Dentist at this location.

I had my annual teeth cleaning done by Shannon, a dental hygienist at Merit Dental in Macedonia. OH and I want to go on record that I have been to several dental hygienists in my years of going to the dentist, and Shannon has outshine them all! Shannon makes you feel at ease and removes any anxiety you may have coming in for your annual teeth cleaning. Shannon is people friendly and has a great sense of humor and leaves just smiling. You look forward to seeing Shannon on your next visit. I highly recommend Shannon as your next dental hygienist ar Merit Dental.

Sad to say but this dental office has gone downhill after Merit took over from Dr. Mario and Dr. Tom. I had been with them for decades. Now there are multiple cancelations and turnover of Doctors and staff. Not happy with the dental care I have received.

Diana Skorepa

Apr 06, 2022

I had a less than satisfactory visit in November, 2021 and I called the office to let them know. I expected that perhaps the office manager would call me to discuss my concerns, but I never heard from anyone. I now have dental insurance and Merit is not on the provider list, so I will not be returning.

This practice has gone downhill since the corporate Merit takeover. I have gone to another practice since Merit seems to care more about the $$$s than the patient. There also seems to be a lot of turnover in staff.

Quality and service is lacking since change of ownership. They were less than honest with me in my most recent interactions with them, and I have changed dentists as a result.

Kurt Buchholz

I have nothing but the highest praise for all the employees at Merit Dental. From the courteous reminder calls the day before each appointment, to the warm welcome at the front desk, the support staff is terrific. I received a fantastic care from Dr. Habib Ghorbaniparvar, who has recently left the practice. He was a kind and caring man. Fortunately, I am now under the care of Dr Dan Hagigi, who is also warm and personable and very professional. Gina, one of the dental assistants, is consistently thorough, very knowledgeable, and a kind and caring person. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Jennilyn Ramaglia

Sep 21, 2020

I have been coming to this office for many years. This place used to be amazing. When the ownership changed a year ago, the place went bad fast. The desk staff is rude, and scheduling an appointment was done with eye rolls when i asked for a different day, and a rudely stated answer to another simple question. The hygenists are okay, but the general feel in the office went from obviously satisfied staff with good attitudes to staff just there to get a pay check. Gone are the pleasantries and kindness. Go somwhere else.

This place used to be the best. Dr. Tom was world class. He retired and the place has gone down hill fast. They broke my husbands veneers during a routine cavity fill. Something that should’ve taken 45 minutes took 90. Hygienist was dropping instruments on the floor. Miserable experience.

I had a great experience with Dr. Hamid. He answered any question that I had and he explained everything for me before and after the treatment. I would highly recommend him to everyone that is looking for a dentist!

Merit Dental is undergoing a lot of personnel changes. The new dentists leave a lot to be desired. I was blindsided at my appt today when my dentist refused to give me my Invisaligners unless I agreed to another very expensive procedure. I said that I would be happy to schedule the procedure in 2 months when my Invisaligner program was over. Although I have paid for the Invisaligners in full and the former dentists I saw were in agreement with my treatment the new dentist refused to give me the Invisaligners. Totally unprofessional. I was warned about the new female dentist before I even saw her several weeks ago. I will not return to this office.

— Hi Donna, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. We apologize for the confusion. Please reach out if you need anything else.

Wrote raving review 5 months ago... Now a 1 star. Had a filling pop off. Set appointment right away. Went in for missing filling left with a onlay. Paid $713 out of pocket because they were out of network. Had no idea there would be more to pay. 5 months later being asked for another $621. Should of found somewhere in network and less money hungry. Should of just replaced the filling. That's what you get for trusting...Don't make the same mistake I did.

I have been coming here for many many years. Dr Thomas has been outstanding, but more importantly, stands behind his work. I'm the type of person w the odds against me if in a situation where something could go either way. With my last root canal, he was a man of his word and did right by me. You usually don't come across this type of loyalty with anyone in the medical field honoring this type of character. Another highpoint is the one stop crown installment as opposed to return appts for fittings and temporaries. The staff is ever so nice and happy to see you walk in. I always look forward to the paraffin wax hand bath, the warm neckroll, and enjoy watching a movie during a long treatment. It keeps your mind off of what is going on. Yes, I would definately recommend Merit Dental in Strongsville, OH!

I have never been to a dental practice and thought, "Wow, that was an enjoyable experience," until I began going to Five Points Dentistry. The staff was patient, kind and listened to your needs. They did a great job on making you feel welcome while explaining their process. They did a thorough job. I highly recommend this dentistry.

Been going to this practice since it opened. I love how friendly and respectful the staff is of my time and dental needs. And I really love the paraffin hand treatments I get (for free!) during my teeth cleaning. Even after moving in the opposite direction, I still travel over 30 minutes to stay with Five Points! Sara is the best hygienist too!

I recently visited Five Points Dentistry and had a pleasant experience. A small part of my bridge broke off and Doctor Rocco fixed it to that I would not have a sharp edge on the tooth. The appointment was within 2 days of discovering the problem and it was fixed within an hour of arriving at the office. Thank you.

Great experience here! I’m used to old school teeth cleaning using the pick and tools. At Five Points, they use a water pick. Not as good as I’d like, but the wonderful staff, atmosphere and service makes up for that.

Love Five Points Dentistry! It’s so relaxing getting a paraphin wax and a warm neck towel. Staci and the rest of the staff is warm and friendly and Dr. Thomas is a hoot! Also, I’ve never seen kids so excited to go to the dentist. There is so much for them!

My most recent visit was for a routine cleaning and checkup. As usual, the visit was pleasant and relaxing, more like a spa visit than a dentist appt. For the first time in my life, I don't dread dental visits! Smiles all around, and an extremely efficient staff.

Being a nurse with experience you get to recognize and admire the skill sets of others and how they interact with each other and build on their skill levels the precision and attention to details is remarkable all the while attending to your comfort. Frequent check ups is key to keeping a smile into your old age (there I said it) I have to work at my smile with prevention intervention on my part and they take care of the rest from crowns, to root canals it's all there.

Excellent dental office. Excellent customer service. Love the Cerec crown option...they perform all services in the office in ONE (1) visit. No taking molds and waiting for the crown to be made and shipped back only to have to come back at another time. They mill the crown specific for you in office...only a couple of hours of your time!

World class patient care and technology! It is apparent that every single staff member loves their job and truly cares about making each patient have an exceptional experience. From understanding insurance to preventative health concerns, Five Points is big on patient education which I absolutely loved. The office is all very up to date in terms of the latest equipment as well as all the little details to make a nervous patient comfortable and relaxed. I will be a patient for life!

I used to be petrified of going to the dentist, as I had a dentist who used no novocain for small or large cavities and I also had a lot of orthodontic and oral surgeries. I now look forward to going to the dentist thanks to this wonderful staff at Five Points! They are all so personable, gentle yet very efficient and professional. They are up front about costs and procedures and seem to genuinely care about every patient. Their exams are extremely thorough (oral cancer, etc.) And the water system they use for cleaning your teeth--the best thing since sliced bread! They have all of the latest and greatest tools that make all of the difference. They even offer free water and juices while you wait and offer a heated neck pillow while they work on you! Hi praises for Five Points!

Five Points Dentistry is a full service dentist! You know you are getting the best & most up to date dental evaluation & care. No need to be nervous about going to the dentist. You can have a heated neck wrap, a paraffin hand treatment all while watching your own personal TV. If that isn't enough the hygienist will put you at ease. Dr. Tom Thomas & Dr. Mario Pavicic experience is second to none & your whole family is in good hands with them.
