My experience with Dr. Bill Melarkey and his father can be described as nothing but excellent, they have always made me feel quite relaxed and comfortable as a patient. I have never had to experience un-neccessary pain in any way . And i would like to mention they have always called me later on in the day after a major extraction to see if i needed any further assistance or if i was feeling any pain or discomfort..i would feel very comfortable referring anyone anytime to either one of these fine gentle dentist,,thank you both! kevin ray
