My Wife and I really like merit Dental. The Staff from when you walk in the door to everyone you deal with is terrific. My Hygienist is great. She used something new to me, I believe it was called high pressure. My teeth have never felt better after a cleaning. We both Highly recommend Merit dental.

From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted quickly with a smile. Only waited a few minutes to take me back. Everyone was kind and friendly and reassured me that they understood my anxiety at the dentist. Lori, Lilly, Wendy, Tanesha and Dr Ken were awesome, very comforting and professional! Facility clean and neat! I highly recommend this practice!

Immediately felt comfortable as soon as I walked in the door. The receptionist was very welcoming. The hygienist and technichian I had were very polite and understanding,professional, and made the visit a breeze. Dr. Balatgek was super nice, got right down to the point, and made it clear on the next steps to take. Glad I made the choice to switch. Thank You!! ??

Went in for a crown with preapproval from insurance and x-rays from my other dentist. Went to Merit Dental because they were $500 cheaper than my current dentist. After having the procedure completed. I received a charge for the entire cost of the crown, due to the wrong tooth having the procedure done on. Insurance denied the claim from Merit. Also had 2 cavities filled per dentist. When I went back to my original dentist, was informed that there was no indication of any cavities or teeth they were watching from my appointment a month prior. Feel like they are money hungry and will do anything to get people or insurance to pay more for.

Money hungry. Poor dental work. Won’t go back. Needed a partial- they couldn’t get the impressions correct. Then when the partial came in, I had to go back and forth 5 times for adjustments and they still didn’t get it right. Might as well have thrown my money in the garbage as I can’t wear it.

Every single person who works at this establishment is beyond friendly and goes above and beyond to make you feel as comfortable and at ease as possible. They also explain everything along the way which I appreciate immensely. Going to the dentist can be a bit nerve-wracking and it's so comforting knowing that they really seem to have your best interest at heart.

I found myself in a very painful situation with a cracked molar with exposed roots, incredibly painful. I saw Dr. Ken and he was able to save the tooth by performing a root canal with crown. Dr. Ken was awesome, he dispelled all myths that root canals are painful. Gentle and very professional.

Kassi is absolutely wonderful - my son has had a lot of work done and she has worked with me, my insurance and his orthodontist to make sure everything is perfect!

This practice has been doing downhill for a while now, and now that Merritt Dental has acquired them, I am done. Very high pressure to have many procedures done. Plus, for two appointments in a row I was misled to believe I would be seeing Dr. Ken, and both times was a bait and switch for another dentist I do not care for.

Amber Beisswanger

★ Jun 24, 2020

Felt scammed at my last appt. I was not informed that what was originally Sinking Spring Family Dental was bought out by Merit Dental. I also was not informed of the new covid rules. Besides all the over the top body coverings, face shields, questionnaires, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide, I had to pay before my appt. which I always paid afterwards. I was shocked when I was told $364. I asked for what and they said it was because I had to get my 5 year xrays, teeth cleaning, visit with the dentist and and extra $12 for PPE! I wish I would have walked out of there before even paying because another thing caught me by surprise DURING my teeth cleaning, was that they can't polish my teeth! I had to pay full price, plus some for them to pick my teeth and floss! I will be finding another dentist!

very bad experience, bad dentist and service. They are very aggressive and try to repair all your teeth, without caring your suffering. Every thing is for money! I just had one tooth needs minimal repair , the guy did three, I still have constant pain every day!

Worst experience I have had. If you have a legitimate dental phobia I warn you to please save yourself the setback of gaining the courage to finally seek help with your teeth for it to all be a waste with this place. If I was able to leave this place ZERO stars or NEGATIVE stars I would. Please find somewhere that treats patients like us with the utmost care and compassion because this place does just the OPPOSITE and made me feel so belittled that I left in tears. Even though they state on their website that they deal with dental anxiety its all false advertising. I will not only be leaving this negative review but also filing a complaint with the BBB and calling the PA dept of dentistry to report this awful experience! Again beware of this place if you live in fear of the dentist because these people are cold, rude and heartless to this condition and just create more anxiety and fear!

Excellent Staff! Very Professional and Courteous!! We have never had a negative experience in all the years we have gone to them. Both my 9 yr old and 7 yr old especially love the staff. Liz, Bonnie, Taneshia & Eileen are their favorites. We can't forget Dr. Raj. The fact that Liz Bonnie Taneshia and Eileen remember conversations they had with my children and myself from our last visits... awesome..... all I can say. They actually get excited to go to the dentist and what parent of a 9 and 7 yr old can say that!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great professional dental services.

I’ve been a patient for a number of years and have been impressed with the quality of work done and have always enjoyed the staff. In addition to quality of work, one of the qualities that stand out is the time and effort they put into working with my insurance company, so I don’t have to.

Kristen Barna

★★★★★ Apr 22, 2018

I have been going here for about 2 years since we moved to Myerstown. I had an amazing recommendation and I have always been happy with their work and procedures. I even referred my boyfriend to go and they helped him get beautiful Veneers on his top 4 teeth because they've always been crooked. Now he smiles all the time, especially for pictures- before he never would. I have an awful genetic gum recession and I always love and request Liz to do my cleanings. She got me on the right track and right regimens to help me slow and stop my gum recession so I possibly won't have to get surgery. I can't thank her enough. All the doctors we've ever seen have been wonderful and the staff is kind and courteous in explaining charges. I will go here as long as I can!?

Highly recommend this office! I have been going to Dr Ken for years and I fully trust his judgement and work! He is patient, kind and knowledgeable. This fall my son needed multiple fillings and we decided sedation was the best option. Dr. Reiter met with us for a consultation and eased our worries away. Dr. Reiter called us the night before his sedation to see if we had any additional questions or concerns. Irina and Dr. Reiter took great care of my son during the sedation. Dr. Ken did amazing work on him, his teeth look great and we have had no issues with the fillings. Both Dr. Ken and Dr. Reiter called us later that evening to check up on my son and see how he was recovering. Very friendly staff from the front office to the assistances and hygienists.

Very friendly atmosphere. Nice people, and there always smiling, lol. They go out of they’re way to say hello and greet my kids and I. Just had a root canal and crown done today for MY first procedure with this office and I’m VERY PLEASED. First and foremost Doctor Raj hit me with novacaine and I didn’t even feel it(not kidding), and secondly I was able to watch the Phillies opening day while he made my tooth look and feel like a pearl again, lol. Best dentist office around, trust me. I been to a few in my years and finally found one I’m confident with.??
