My two boys ages 5 and 7 LOVE going to the dentist

 My two boys ages 5 and 7 LOVE going to the dentist. Deb is such a wonderful assistant. She made them so comfortable from the start. Everything was explained so well to the kids. They had a menu of flavors to choose their toothpaste flavor. Camille gave a great cleaning! She was so friendly and explained everything to me and guided me in how to help my boys improve their dental cares. Dr. Merlino is always so personable. The kids knew her from when she visited their school. Wonderful experience for kids and parents highly recommend!!

I highly recommend this dentist!!

 My 2 year old chipped her tooth significantly and we were advised by our pediatrician to see Dr. Merlino. The doctor saw my daughter immediately as a first time emergency patient. The office staff was so kind and helpful, the office was neat and kid friendly. The doctor and doctor’s assistants were incredibly careful and thorough with my daughters care. I highly recommend this dentist!!
