Absolutely an excellent dentist. Careful, thorough, thoughtful; his attention to detail and expert dental technique gives me the kind of confidence I'm looking for. Having owned a dental lab for many years, I feel very fortunate to be a patient of his.

Dr Merzon was thorough in his evaluation of my mouth, jaw, and surrounding tissues. He was also expert in his administration and recommendation about treatment that was required. If you are looking for a dentist, call Dr Merzon, you will not do better than him.

Love the staff, service, and professionalism. Gail is an incredibly beautiful human in so many ways and Dr Dmitry is so knowledgable - I trust my mouth in his hands.

Very happy with my decision to start going to Dr. Merzon after being with another dentist for 13 years. Dr. Merzon seems to have top notch technology (at least compared to my old dentist) and a very pleasant way about him. He is not the kind that will entertain you with jokes while our mouth is wide open so you can't even laugh, but he explains well before and during the procedures and helps prioritize dental work when budget is limited. Very satisfied.read more

Dr Merzon and his team are excellent, I certainly recommend him. It is very rare that you find a dentist who is skillful, caring and has a brilliant bedside manner, well Dr Merzon is one of those rare cases. His secretary, Gail, and his assistant, Sharmila, are equally good, they are professional, helpful and friendly. I have visited him three times now and I am completely happy with my treatment and care. Thank you Dr Merzon!read more

From the pleasant greeting at the check in to smiles and professional teeth cleaning, I was truly relaxed and out the door with a bag of dental goodies saying “I don’t mind going to this dental office” , way to go Dr. Merzon!

I will never have to look for another dentist again. I’m ecstatic to have found a dentist that already feels like a family friend. Dr. Merzon, Grace and Chayanne were simultaneously professional and funny, warm and thorough. Do it, you won’t regret it!

Dr. Merzon is doing extensive work on my teeth following a root canal. He is very gentle, thorough and careful. I have very small teeth that are not easy to work on. He does a great job. His staff, from the office manager to the hygienists are helpful and sweet. I highly recommend this practice

What a wonderful experience. I'm super picky about my dentists. Every person in this office warm and friendly. No more nervousness about visiting a dentist!

An earlier review mentioned "friendly, welcoming, caring" -- I couldn't agree more! Best dentist I've been to. Highly recommended.

Very good impression. Got here two crowns and three fillings. Anesthesia was effective, manipulations - gentle. All the steps/approaches have been explained by dr. Merzon very well.

just had my third appointment and I am SO thankful I found this practice - they are the best! Dr. Merzon is extremely gentle and talks you through everything from start to finish - whether a specific procedure or the various options for treatment. He and his assistant, Menbere, are a great team - very professional, efficient and personable. As someone who has carried anxiety about dentistry for many years due to pain in the past, I can honestly say I can RELAX in the chair. I have had a filling done, got a referral for a root canal (a great referral, by the way, where everything was super smooth), and I am now having a crown. The environment is welcoming, positive and healing. If you are looking for a dentist, look no further - this is the place!read more

Very professional. Really makes you feel like you're getting taken care of. Got me in same day I was having really bad tooth problem. Even went out of way to find me a oral surgeon that day when we couldn't get ahold of the two near me. Super friendly and definitely be going back.

This was my first appointment. I felt welcome. Dr. Merzon answered all of my questions without conveying any sense of time pressure. I was really impressed by the newest technology and by the exceptional attention to cleanliness.

This was my first visit to First Impression. My long time dentist had just retired. I woke up one morning to find that a cap had fallen off and was still in my mouth. Dr. Merzon was able to see me a day after I contacted him. I found him to be smart, very well informed, up to date in the latest techniques, and skillful in their application. His whole practice seems to be using the latest computer techniques and the most modern equipment. I recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist.read more
