I got fillings done in their office in December of 2022. Now, it is August of 2024. And, my front…read moreteeth, filled by Dr. Skinner, still hurt until NOW, even after RCTs! Over one year and a half! My new dentist told me that the pain will very likely persists for years and nothing can be done at this point. Dr. skinner told me that I am sensitive to fillings. He tried to explain that different teeth respond differently to dental work at different ages, because my another dental filling done many years ago never sensitive. But, I recently got fillings done in China and NONE of them are sensitive and painful. ALL the fillings done here were sensitive and painful! So, it is HIS fillings that are sensitive and painful but NOT I am sensitive to dental work! After his fillings, I have seen a couple dentists for pain and even flied 18 hours to the other side of the world to seek solutions. Jesus, nobody can stay calm with such annoying pain and sensitivity for over one year and a half, very likely two, three or more years. Well, I will definitely give them zero if can.

I seen one of the dentist here for a routine visit and ended up needing to get some dental work done. What was supposed to be a quick and easy fix. It ended up causing me extreme pain for weeks! Every few days I'd call the dentist and let them know my pain was not improving so they'd have me go in and they'd make adjustments and this happened about 4 times and the last time the dentist told me that I'd basically just have to wait it out. Ended up with pain and discomfort for 2 months.

We lucked out with Dr. Rowan, his staff is kind and attentive. He is very attentive and quick with his work.

We did joke that there weren't any TVs but the music selection is nice. Did we mention Dr. Rowan is a genie, numbs everything before injecting the numbing stuff. Soo you barely feel the needles. Definitely recommend him and his team to everyone.

I received good care from the dentists here, but I found their business side predatory and…read moredishonest. I showed up for a routine cleaning to find that they no longer accepted Delta Insurance (they did not inform me of this change ahead of time). I chose to cancel my appointment and my wife's, which was scheduled soon after. The business manager met with me, and said that because they hoped to keep us as customers (and hoped to resume taking Delta by our next appointments), they would waive the charge for both my appointment and wife's if we did not cancel them. All went well until they were unable to resume taking Delta, and we had to change to another dentist (which provided superior care AND covered 100% of our dental expenses under Delta). Then, we suddenly began receiving bills for the appointments the business manager had waived. It seems that if they couldn't get us to pay cash for future appointments, rather than use our insurance (a cost of well over $1000 a year just for cleanings and exams), then they were going to do their best to squeeze what they could out of us, and were not going to let ethics or integrity get in the the way of a little money. I've talked to them on the phone, in person, and written to them. At first, they confirmed that the cost should have been waived. But they just keep sending bills for the amount they previously waived. I don't even know if that office manager still works there, and there's likely no one who now remembers a conversation from that long ago. It's a pain to deal with them constantly trying to collect less than $300 they are not owed. I think it's been two years of harassment from them. But they did me a favor too, and I hope it's one for you too if you're looking for a dentist in Merced. There are so many dishonest dentists preying on patients. I thought I'd found an honest one in El Portal. As stressful as this is, it likely saved me far more money in the long run by forcing me to leave them before getting taking advantage of by their unscrupulous business practices. Steer clear! I know it can be hard to find a new dentist in Merced, but don't settle for a practice you can't trust.

Recently, I had extensive crown work done to address older dental issues and repairs from past dentists. Dr. Propes put together a clear restoration plan focused on a long-term solution and not just a quick fix.

I've always been self-conscious about the condition of my teeth until now, thanks to the amazing work done by Dr. Propes and his staff. Everyone in the office is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring.

Turns out root canal was wrong too!!! didn't put a post when it was needed. And sure enough crown is botched as well. I urge everyone who had issues to contact the California dental board. I did because he's so unprofessional. Had another root canal and crown done with him. Around the same time and that one too has a gap between where food gets stuck. At this point I'm gonna contact an attorney after I talk to dental board because that crown was paid for cash, and I don't want him touching my teeth because he leaves them worse each time. I regrets going to this dentist my tooth throbs at times I'm afraid it didnt seal correctly and I have a cavity on my tooth. I don't know what this man uses to seal them it's terrible!! Terrible dentist!!! Save time hassle and $ do not got there. I got a crown, two weeks later I noticed I had a gap between tooth and crown, food was getting stuck and smelled bad, go back told him the issue ha wanted me to pay $120 to clean the gum I told him it smelled bad because the food getting stuck!!! I left angry. Decided to get a water pick and got me antibiotics just in case I was developing infection. I used the water pick and sure enough food came out and smelled. I went back and told him the issue he was focusing on another tooth I told him I was there for the crown not to worry about my other tooth. Anyway he agreed to replace it after I insisted, I go to get my tooth ready for the replacement and for the temporary cap and instead he filed it down and since it was a big gap the crown looked terrible crooked I told him I was there for replacement like he had already agreed and even had it on a sticky note on the tray. He looked annoyed! I just thought you don't file it down before asking if it's ok with me. I refused cause it looked very crooked on the inside . A few weeks later I go in for new crown he cemented it, literally 5 minutes late,I had to go back cause it fell ugh! He filed down my tooth and I believe cleaned the crown . He re-cemented it put it back and two weeks later I noticed I had gaps everywhere and it was loose. Had to contact insurance to file a complain and will definitely call the CA, dental board. Terrible dentist do not go with him I will see what gets done and find another dentist.

Also, I've noticed that his procedures like teeth-cleaning are more gentle than other dentists. He's very detail-oriented and precise -- exactly what you want in a dentist. If you are at all anxious about going to the dentist, you should try Dr. Yang. My family and I switched to Dr. Yang when two of us had problems with work done by another local dentist. Dr. Yang repaired the work done by the other dentist and was also very careful to check what was and wasn't covered by our insurance so we were always full informed. The other amazing thing is that there is little to no wait time when you have an appointment. I think that he is not just precise and careful when he works on our teeth--- he also takes care to make sure he isn't wasting our time by having us sitting in the waiting room. He is an honest dentist who isn't trying to cram his schedule full to make more money.
