“Always willing to explain the facts in non-techie terms in order to make one feel "connected".”
Best dental experience in my 60 plus years. Always there for me in an emergency and willing to go out of his way to explain what is really going on in my mouth. I have been Dr Merritt's patient for close to 30 years and would recommend him to anyone that wanted a down to earth doctor that never makes you feel like you are just another customer that is taking up a time slot.
