Payments and customer service is horrible and does not do their job. Been trying to give another dentist my exrays of my teeth and signed over 6 release forms and still have not sent my exrays. I'm very dissapointed on customer service. Keep telling me to sign release form. I'm not gonna sign another at this point. They do not know what they are doing.

Dr. Merrell is the definition of excellence. His staff is so comforting! They show you on tv screens whats going on with your teeth. They ensure you are comfortable! I had my very first root canal today and I have no pain following the procedure. The only dentist I have been to with staff so sweet from the front office to the clinical staff!

From My first phone call to this office the communication and dental care has been impressive. Early explanations from Ester of pricing were clear and straightforward. Help obtaining records was offered. My hygienist, Amanda was thorough and clear with explanations on what she was doing and why. Her assessment and cleaning were well done. Dr. Merrell was thorough and also clear with his explanations of what he was doing, why and his recommendations. The assessments were comprehensive and moderately priced. I'm glad I made the change to this office.

Report
While out of town in Hendersonville, NC, I had a crown to fall out and was to speak to a group of about 125 people that night. I was referred to Dr. Merrell by my son who had been a patient while living in Hendersonville. The entire staff there was very friendly, helpful and easy to work with. They very graciously agreed to see me without an appointment and worked me in very quickly in order for me to make my speaking engagement two hours away. The work Dr. Merrell did on my tooth was excellent. I would recommend them to anyone and would consider him for my dentist if I lived near that location. Thanks for such a great experience.
