This is the BEST Pediatric dentist office around. Dr Greg is great. The office manager, hygienists, all assistants, and... especially the front desk staff that greet you first are all wonderful. They are kind and truly care for the needs of your child. The office is always neat and clean. They have contests every month. The wait time is usually minimum, unless there has been an emergency with another patient which is understandable. If your child is afraid to go to the dentist just let them know. This is the place to go. They will never be afraid again.read more

This place rocks. The hygienists are great with the kids and caring. We have 3 kids, they are all seen at the same time... and we are in-out bing bang done. User an hour every time. I didn’t think it was possible. Dr Mertes is always kind and personable. Great place! Oh yeah and there are kids movies playing and the kid themed decor is welcome and inviting. Check them out!read more

I left another dental office,where i did not have a good experience, to come here and I am extremely pleased to say the... least. We were given a tour by the office manager, who is incredibly professional and kind. This office appears to be very clean. They focus so much on directing their conversation to the children. They got us on the schedule quickly, they explained the cost of the procedure we were having done and gave us a print out itemizing each thing. Everyone is kind and full of compassion. Nobody likes going to the dentist, especially a young child who doesn't know what to expect. Dr. Mertes was very perofessinal but still super attentive to my daughter being nervous. His assistant was flawless in assisting him. What I like about Dr. Mertes the most I think is that he's in there to do his job the right way and he is going to tell you the best scenario for him and the child in order to make that happen. Parents are allowed to stay with their child as reward for listening to the dentist and although I thought that idea was nerve wracking at first, I completely understand it and respect it. Totally recommend this place.read more

What a breath of fresh air! This practice really has it going on! My five year old had a large treatment plan setup... that we were really worried if he was going to be able to step up to the plate and do it. The appointment went so smooth that they were able to get everything done and keep my child content and happy through the whole process. Dr. Kelsey and her staff are miracle workers! If you are struggling to find a great dentist look no further check out Mertes Pediatric Dentistry!!!read more

I can’t say enough about how fantastic this office is with children! Especially those with special needs. The... hygienists are friendly, efficient and understanding of each child and their needs ( whether they’re special needs or not ). Greg is also fantastic! He’s informative and pleasant as well. Kids love him! We drive a half hour specifically to see this dentist and his staff just get the love and care they give to kids. I must include the front desk in my review as well. They are quick and efficient too! All around a good place to take kids!read more
