Dr. Merv has been my dentist for 10 years. He is a very gentle dentist and very honest, easy going, and lets you know exactly what's going on at all times. He'll let you watch in the mirror if you want to. I have very soft teeth and I've been to some terrible dentists; Merv has given me second opinions including xrays at no charge. His family are all dentists and he knows most other reputable dentists in the area. He is reasonably priced and has payment plans for non-insured patients with no interest for one year. His bedside manner and his ethics are impeccable. I guess that's why his son shares a practice with him. I have never been treated by his son (Scott) but I would imagine he is an excellent dentist also. The receptionists are sweet and easy to deal with when you call in, no holding for 30 mins and the dental hygienists are friendly, gentle and thorough. Merv sees every patient after their cleaning to double check.
