I am so happy with Dr. Kabitzke. He has a very calming presence and I like that he talks me through everything. Having dental anxiety is horrible and now all my dental work is completed and I just have to consult with the oral surgeon for my implant. The office staff are very friendly and accommodating. Everyone from Paula at the front desk, to April and Heather in the back are great at what they do and make you feel welcome and at ease. Would highly recommend Merit Dental!

I highly recommend Merit Dental! I had a broken tooth and they worked me in the very next day. There are different payment options (if you don't have dental insurance).The dentist was fantastic! He was not rushed, explained everything he was doing, and did a great job on my broken tooth. I can't even tell it's ever been damaged. If you are nervous about dental care, this is the place you want to go!

I’m 64yrs old and I have never had a Dentist with the patience, calmness and warm personality as Dr. Kabitzke. His staff is just as nice. They got me into the office to take care of a dental emergency that happened on the weekend. I would recommend them to anyone especially those who have a little “dental anxiety” like myself. They put me right at ease. I can’t thank them enough. I will continue with them for all my dental needs. Sandra K Leasure

Dr. Barfuss is no longer working at this location. The cleaning staff (Marissa) are still wonderful, kind, gentle, and helpful, but I have doubts about the dentist that took over the practice. I have always been concerned about overfilling "softspots" or "problematic" areas in teeth or old fillings because dentists want the extra income or their ego gets in the way when they see other dentists' work. So after 1.5 years seeing Dr. Barfuss, with absolutely no problems, I somehow manage to get 4 "problematic" areas on my teeth that will need corrected/filled when my last checkup was 6 months ago? No thanks. I will forever get second opinions for any checkup that leads to more than one cavity being identified. I also overheard the women next to me complain about how she was confused that she had so many problems come about after so many years of a clean record, and she was seeing a different dentist prior. I recommend everyone do their research and always seek out second opinions.

My experience was great! My children were both nervous to go to a new dentist, and afraid that it would be a bad experience. However, they both loved it, and were very happy with their experience! I loved how polite the staff was. They informed me of how my children's check ups went, and answered my questions/concerns!

I switched from another local dentist in Fall 2018, and so far, I have had examinations, cleanings, a reference to an orthodontist and a periodontist, and discussion of planning for future treatment. My experience has been excellent. The staff, from front office to dental techs to Dr. Barfuss are all highly professional and personable. (The "sisters" Tonia and Paula are great at their jobs.) The office staff works diligently with me to ensure all paperwork and insurance issues are handled promptly with the best possible outcome for me. Dr. Barfuss takes the time to answer all questions thoroughly. The waiting room, office and examination rooms are all immaculate, as is all of the equipment. I'm very happy with my dental care at Merit Dental of Blairsville. Bruce

The facility was very inviting. They dentist did require an x ray that was not covered by my insurance. She explained that it was necessary for her to do any kind of exam, cleaning or treatment at all of my teeth. I did extensive research on the x ray she was asking for. It is not necessarily at all! To education others this is expensive you do not need to pay and over time over exposer to radiation from x rays in general are harmful. Save yourself the time, money and most importantly your health go some place else!

I called on Thursday for an emergency appointment. One of my molars chipped out and left the exposed root which was causing me lots of pain. The receptionist got me in on Tuesday for 12pm. I was in and out within 45 minutes and the root was pulled. My dental insurance normally charges $50 copays, but they didn't ask for a dime at the office! I am so pleased with everyone here. They are friendly, accommodating, and great to deal with! I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

I have always been a coward when it comes to seeing the dentist. It does not matter if it's just for a cleaning. It's to the point I throw up. Last week I came in to get work done and I couldn't have been happier. All of the employees were very welcoming. And the doctor totally understood my fear. She was so good I didn't even know she had already given me the shot of novicane. She was amazing I would recommend anyone

I am thrilled to have found Dr. Losco and his team! He is a wonderful dentist and everyone in the office is friendly! I never enjoyed going to the dentist, but now I don't mind. Everyone is courteous and polite, and nonjudgmental. Also the office is SO clean!! I switched my 14 year old son over to Dr. Losco (he had to have 4 teeth extracted to get his braces, and was really nervous), and he loved him. I recommend if you are searching for a new dentist, give Dr. Losco a call. I am glad I did.

I really didn't like to go to the dentist because of past experiences. Dr. Losco helped me get over that fear. He is friendly and a well seasoned dentist, as well as his staff. I would difinitely recommend him to any one who has a fear of the dentist or if you just want a regular dentist.
