Merit Dental - Holly

Experiencia fantástica: I came in to get two teeth extracted yesterday and it was probably one of the nicest experiences I’ve had. I sadly don’t remember names but the two doctors who took care of me were really sweet and made me feel safe!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff and a great environment. Highly recommend.

Experiencia negativa: The local office is good. The main company (Merit Dental, owned by Smile Brands Inc. who's owned by Gryphon Investors) is the problem. The failure of the main company to alert local offices about credentialing problems is causing patients to be unknowingly billed for out of network services, even though the local offices are telling patients that they are in network providers. I suggest that any patient, regardless of what the provider tells them, double check with their health insurance company before your appointment to make sure your provider is in network. This, hopefully, will help you avoid the surprise bill that I got. I've already had a discussion with the local office staff. The main problem is not with the local staff, it's the corporate office of Merit and their lack of timely communication with their local providers.

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and accommodating! If you’re looking for a family friendly dentist that cares for their patients this is your place.

Experiencia negativa: I really liked this office and have gone here for years, but they recently changed my appointment time without calling to inform me, just changing my confirmation text, and instead of admitting to a mistake proceeded to tell me I was wrong. And this was after trying to reschedule me a week before the appointment I booked 6 months ago and not being able to accommodate when I can come in. I really try to be very understanding, but the person on the phone was rude. Very unprofessional on their end. They also just moved my son's appointment the week of. People take time off work and work their lives around these appointments, and they don't seem to understand that.

Experiencia fantástica: Have a great staff friendly. Dr.Steve Sulfaro Dr. Alyssa Arban fixed my broken tooth on weekend. Just really like talking to Alyssa we have fun. Alyssa fixed wifes teeth and really cares.Karen has cleaned our teeth for a long time.Just great people working there.

Experiencia fantástica: So, I have a fear of dentists due to really, really bad experiences throughout my life with both dentists and doctors. I came in with high anxiety and they have taken such great care of me. They constantly reassure me, explains everything that’s going on in a way that I can understand, helps me understand ways of prevention, etc. Instead of just pushing through the procedures to get me out the door faster, they make sure I’m comfortable with anything I might need and give me breaks when I need them. I’ve only been with Dr. Alyssa, so I don’t know about the other dentist, but both her and all the dental assistants have made my fear of dentists lessen, and I hope soon completely gone.

Experiencia fantástica: You simply will not find a better dentist! Dr. Sulfaro is professional, gentle, experienced and dedicated to giving the best service. He will answer all your questions and explain everything before he does anything. I feel so comfortable in his office. Thank you Dr. Steve

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sulfaro is amazing! He is kind and patient and truly cares about his patients. During my recent dental crisis he went above and beyond to ensure I received the best possible care and customer service. This is his calling.

Experiencia positiva: Idk I’m just here. Don’t ask for my rating opinions it’s all for science

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Arban and Anna are so talented, they are so professional. Never ever saw a team so well in tune with each other !!!! They both keep you informed during all procedures. No shots to numb you up, a special machine with no discomfort at all. Just love the whole staff !!!! They have saved my smile. Thank you !

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience and very friendly staff would highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sulfaro and Anna are nothing short of amazing. If I could give 6 stars I would. My fillings were completed quickly, and they made sure I was comfortable for the entire procedure.

Experiencia negativa: SUPER DISAPPOINTED! I have been at this practice since I have been 5 years old and am now pushing 40. I have had great experiences here and I love the dental hygienists. We live 45 minutes away and have stayed here because we like it. However, they have now canceled both mine and my husband's appointments that were scheduled 6 months in advance with no willingness to accommodate us even though they canceled on us. I am very disappointed that there wasn't any apology on their end for the inconvenience and no willingness to try and fix it.

Experiencia fantástica: I love it here!❤️ They are all friendly and welcoming. I am also amazed how they able to fixed all my cavities and all teeth that I thought it needs to be pull out before. They’re amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: By far one of the best dentists I've ever been to. The staff and doctor are very good!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been consistently impressed with the exceptional service provided by this dental office from my initial phone call. The front staff have always demonstrated a high level of professionalism, courtesy, and helpfulness. Their respectful demeanor and kindness have made every interaction a pleasure. My decision to seek a second opinion from Dr. Sulfaro was instrumental in my decision to switch dentists. His impressive educational background and expertise were evident in his thorough examination and diagnosis. Unlike my previous dentist, who recommended a root canal, Dr. Sulfaro took a more conservative approach and filled the tooth instead. This decision saved me thousands of dollars, and I have not experienced any issues with that tooth in nearly a decade. Currently, I am under the care of Dr. Arban, and I highly recommend her. She possesses a unique blend of professionalism, compassion, and kindness, making every visit a comfortable and reassuring experience. Her warm demeanor, patience, and genuine interest in her patients' well-being are truly exceptional qualities that set her apart as an outstanding dentist. I am very pleased with the level of care I am currently under. Thank you for the amazing support merit staff.

Experiencia fantástica: We love this office, especially Dr. Arban. She's wonderful with kids.

Experiencia fantástica: "Like a day at the spa and luxury retreat". No pain, friendly and compassionate team. Excellent dental care and honesty.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this clinic!! I am in good hands here. Very gentle care, kind staff, modern practices!

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best dental team!

Experiencia negativa: I have gone to this office for last 6 years. They have always been wonderful for my family up until the last year. Promises for calls back about my bills, referrals for my kids, and lastly changing my scheduled appts that THEY scheduled. They contacted me to change the schedule they made and couldn’t see my kids for an additional 5 months!!!!! Unacceptable to make my kids wait 11 mi rush for your scheduling problem. I work 50+ hours a week and have to make appts around all said things. I have to take the day off to get my kids to you as I am not local but CHOSE to stay with you all after me moved away. I called today to speak to the office mng after I received a text message stated you moved my appts to May. As a corporate employee for a corporation my ask is so better on the business end! You have fantastic drs and hygienists at this office. Find someone to run it better at the desk as it’s been a complete mess. We will not be back.

Experiencia fantástica: Merit Dental is an amazing dentist office. I have always had a phobia about going to see the dentist, but the staff here has actually help me overcome that fear! Everyone is kind and caring. The Hygienist are gentle; always double checking to see if anything‘s bothering me. The office staff is equally friendly and knowledgable. They know about insurance information and if they don’t have an answer they will find it out. Then contacted me to let me know the answer. Personally I’m extremely happy to have Merit Dental as my dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Every time I bring my kids to the dentist they always love coming. Never do my kids say anything bad. My kids will even remind me hey mom we need dentist appointments made. Lol. The staff are always very nice and friendly and helpful. And always explain things if I don't understand something

Experiencia fantástica: It's a very happy, friendly and professional office.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional and courtesy. I was amazed by the technology now days.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent dentists, techs, and office staff!! Great place to have your dental needs taken care of-

Experiencia negativa: Very disappointed as they have such great reviews. I scheduled my daughter an appointment with them. They asked if she had dental insurance. I stated yes. Healthy kids dental. I was at work at this time so I didn't have her insurance card on me, was told that was perfectly fine, and to call back with her information. I did the next day. I again stated that she had Healthy Kids through blue cross. Then proceeded to give the member ID and group number on her insurance. Was told everything was verified and good to go for her appointment. I then get a call from my mother that they refused to see her because they do not accept Healthy kids blue cross only Healthy kids delta. Would I have known from the beginning I would have never even wasted my time. Again, I'm not mad that they don't accept her plan I 100% understand that. I'm furious that I gave all insurance information over the phone 3 days before the appointment and was told everything was verified and good to go for her appointment. It just doesn't make sense. Wasted my time for an appointment she needed to have to start school on Monday.

Experiencia fantástica: All good! Pleasant atmosphere.

Experiencia fantástica: Love this place been coming here for over 30 years they are always pleasant to work with very courteous staff and helpful service Thank You for treating me and my family

Experiencia fantástica: Such a good experience. I finally have a crown after several years. The Doctor and staff are professional and personable. I highly recommend Merit Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful experience at this office. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Above and beyond mentality is rare these days! Dr. Arban is very professional and knows her stuff! I feel completely comfortable every time I am seen!

Experiencia fantástica: Friendly,on time and excellent work . Had under gum cleaning and didn't feel a thing. Would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great Team, Best around

Experiencia negativa: No communication between the front desk and dental hygienist. My son got recent x-rays from another dentist. So switching over to Merit my son's first visit was only supposed to be an exam, and consult of the x-rays to see if he needed fillings. So the dental hygienist tries to takes my son back there right away for x-rays. Which insurance only pays for x-rays I believe once every 6 months and he'd already got x-rays a month ago at a prior dentist. Of course I asked why is he getting x-rays I communicated with 2 different people several times throughout the day before my son's appointment that we are using the x-rays from the prior dentists. The first thing wrong. Then she takes my son back and says she'll figure out what's going on with the x-rays. So I'm sitting back there with my son and she's examining his teeth, and starts cleaning them!! Omg, I asked why are you cleaning his teeth? He just got his teeth cleaned 5 weeks ago, and I stated several times to the front desk people that he was only coming there for an exam and a consultation about the x-rays from the prior dentist to see if he needs fillings that is it. Again, I said his insurance only pays for cleanings once every 6 months and I'm not paying for that cleaning, because that is not what he is here for! Felt like the damn twilight zone. I guarantee they'll try and bill the insurance company for the teeth cleaning. The incompetencey I seen there in less then an hour was truly scary. I would never return, as they don't seem to know what they're doing there. The dental hygienist tried to blame the front office for not communicating to her what was going on. Very unprofessional. Even if people at the front desk didn't communicate what was going on to her, it certainly wasn't written that he was there for a cleaning. Will not return. They did not charge me for the cleaning which I appreciate, but something tells me they're going to try and bill the insurance company. Wasnt a great experience. They didn't charge for the cleaning, but the lack of communication alone, it's not worth going back. The dentist was very nice.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Sulfaro and his team are the best dental team around! I would highly recommend his office to anyone looking for a kind and caring staff for both adults and kids!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Karen as my dental hygienist. All the employees are very helpful and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Been going to Dr Sulfaro for many years and also seeing Lynette for my cleanings.Lynette is the best hygienist of all time,very thorough but gentle.Dr Sulfaro is the best of the best with his professionalism and expertise.They go above and beyond! Thank you for all your excellent care! Thanks from John and Kathleen Durand.

Experiencia fantástica: Julie is always pleasant and does a very thorough job!

Experiencia fantástica: What a wonderful first visit! The waiting room is warm and inviting. There was a welcome board with my name on it when I walked in. The girls at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The hygienist was very gentle, I never felt a thing. Usually clinical rooms are dark and stuffy but the room I was in faced the water. The windows were cracked with a breeze of fresh air coming in, it was so warm and relaxing. The doctor and her assistant were great too. I came in for a clear aligner consultation not knowing I had just found my new dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Bar none this place is the absolute best. As some one who avoided the dentist for nearly a decade and only went back once I broke a tooth I was very worried about going. All the staff was amazing and so kind, my tooth was basically rebuilt in under an hour with no pain at all and it looks better then the original. I've have started telling all my friends and family about Merit and I personally won't go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is a caring hygienist. Her work is gentle and efficient with a pleasant personality and demeanor.

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is a special person who takes the time to explain what she is going to do, does it in a timely manner and was very good at what she did even though part of it was not her normal daily job.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely best experience ever having my bonding replaced on my front teeth! Thank you Dr. Arban!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I used to be afraid to see dentist, but thanks to Dr. Sulfaro and his hygenist Lynette, I no longer fear going to them.. They are both so nice, caring and very gentle. I now drive 90 miles just to come to them.. I wouldn't go anywhere else.. 2 great people... Thank you...

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is a wonderful hygenist! Always appreciate her promptness and kind, professional way.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing hygienists at this location and very friendly reception staff. Haven't been to the dentist in a few years and they didn't make me feel like a sub human for not doing so. Saw Dr Arden for the first time and she was amazing. Julie took xrays and Tina cleaned my teeth. Both of them were caring and friendly. Incredible staff, this is definitely worth every penny. If you need a dentist for advanced issues or just a teeth cleaning there is a reason this place has all 5 star reviews!! Will definitely be back!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Dr Sulfaro and his staff since I moved to Holly in 1995. I love seeing Lynette for my teeth cleanings. All of the staff are friendly professional. Won't go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is the best! She is sweet, gentle and kind for many years now to me.❤️ The Dr. Is also sweet and comforting! These two rock!! I highly recommend this office.

Experiencia fantástica: Cleaning always goes well. No cavities! Great experience each and every time.

Experiencia fantástica: I was searching for a Dentist in Holly and found out there was a couple month wait for new patients. I called Merit with impeccable timing. Nat took my call. She was very nice on the phone and advised me that there was a cancellation and they could see me tomorrow! I jumped at the opportunity. I'm glad I did. Lynnette took care of me and made me feel comfortable as much as I don't like going to the Dentist. This was different. I was able to consult with Dr. Arban. She gave me great advice on some cosmetic options. Everyone was very proffesional. I left with a treatment plan to be executed within 2 weeks. Very pleased. Chris Barnett

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place, Dr. S rocks, thanks to the whole team! Nat was great, and Junette too! Same day emergency appointment! My hygienist was excellent, everything rocked.

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is the only person I want near my teeth! She is the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience as always for a teeth cleaning with Lynette Scafede! Recommend her highly.

Experiencia fantástica: Always get exelent service, Dr Sulfaro is the absolute best dentist I have ever met.

Experiencia fantástica: I drove an hour at the recommendation of a friend to Merit Dental in Holly and it was well worth the drive. Everyone from the front desk to the hygienist and dentist were so friendly and kind. This was by far the best experience I have ever had at the dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Went in for a crown that needed replacement and a chipped tooth repair. Dr. Sulfaro is truly an excellent dentist, and my new crown looks awesome! Plus, he repaired my chipped tooth in the same visit. You ROCK Dr. SULFARO & Merit Dental!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful experience!!! From front desk girls to dental hygienist Karen to Dr. Lysa. Very friendly & inviting, can’t wait to go back

Experiencia fantástica: I always have a great experience @ Merit Dental. Dr Sulfaro is the best, as well as all of their employees. I had a couple small fillings, it was quick and pain free. I would recommend this practice for all your dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: I’m one of those people that have hated going to the dentist my whole life. I went to Merit Dental for the first time about 6 months ago due to an infection in my wisdom tooth and I was dreading having to go… but let me tell you, ALL of the staff here are so amazing! I just went back yesterday for a cleaning and I can honestly say I was excited to go, which is crazy for me since I’ve always feared the dentist lol. I wish I could remember my hygienist’s name because she deserves a shout out for how great and caring she is! Dr. Alyssa Arban is also so amazing! I highly recommend choosing Merit Dental!

Experiencia fantástica: The best dentist and office staff around!!

Experiencia positiva: It is not the title"Merit Dental" that makes "Merit Dental" - It is the quality of care and honesty the Hygienist, Clerk, or Dentist gives Me regarding my grill... I am thankful and have subscribed to caring better for my " Toothes" Veteran

Experiencia fantástica: I am so happy with the work Doctor Sularo did on my teeth. I feel that Doctor Sularo saved my teeth and at a fraction of the cost it could've been and I smile now.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is fantastic they are friendly and perfessioal, best place I have used.

Experiencia negativa: Left a hole in my tooth, it aches because they screwed it up.

Experiencia fantástica: They were very thorough. And did a excellent job cleaning my teeth.

Experiencia fantástica: After our dentist of decades retired, we were recommended to this office by him. The office staff is kind, friendly and very helpful. The dentists here seem to be excellent. We were thrilled to find out that our favorite hygientist, KAREN from our former dentist's office, is now here! So far, we are pleased and can recommend this office without hesitation!

Experiencia fantástica: Wonderful staff! Highly recommend Merit Dentistry :). Lynette & Dr Sulfaro are the BEST!

Experiencia fantástica: I am not a fan of going to the dentist. I saw Dr. Arban. It was the best dental appointment I have ever had.

Experiencia fantástica: Always good service with Dr Sulfaro and staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Merit Dental more than ten years now.. From the check-in until the check-out, the whole staff is very friendly and it feels like you are at home. I am driving about 60 miles one way to this office because they take care of the patient very well.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Sulfaro is the best!! He has been my dentist for several decades and as far as I’m concerned, he’s Hall of Fame!!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is nice and they explain everything they're doing. The office is nice and all the equipment is new and modern. Nothing to fear from this office. They'll do a great job.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Arban and the whole staff were awesome. I had an emergency on a Friday before a holiday weekend. They were able to get me in right away and taken care of so I could enjoy my holiday. The doctor and hygienist were both so comforting and compassionate throughout the whole process and really put my anxiety at ease. I cannot recommend them enough.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient for many years and think they all are very professional in their care. I would recommend them to anyone. My hygienist is Lynette and my husband goes to Julie. Both are excellent!

Experiencia fantástica: Clean, helpful and thorough.

Experiencia fantástica: Job well done! Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: I was a little nervous to find a new dentist after my dentist of many years retired. Great first visit with Dr. Sulfaro and Tina. So happy I chose Merit Dental!

Experiencia fantástica: Merit dental is great! My daughter’s and myself go there. Exceptional service!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a new patient. I was treated with kindness and compassion. My visit was for a second opinion on (swelling gums around) a tooth that I have an issue on and had a previous root canal by another dentist a couple years ago that ignored the problem. I was very comfortable with the plan to get the tooth removed to avoid infection. Dr Sulfaro explained the step by step plan clean out of tooth for bone graft and for another tooth to be replaced over several months time. He was very patient and kind with all my questions. I felt better just knowing that he was there to help me!

Experiencia fantástica: Julie is amazing. I absolutely hate going to the dentist normally but the experience is 100 times better because of her. The doctors and front desk staff are phenomenal as well!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Dr. Sulfaro and his entire office staff. The care and treatment I receive are excellent. I am so happy to have found this office. Cathy H

Experiencia fantástica: Lynette is an excellent hygienist.
