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. Update: June 2026 I was contacted again by this business. They confirmed that I did not owe the approximately $300 they keep sending me invoices for. However, they instead claimed that I received a check from Delta Dental for about $90 several years ago, which they believed they were entitled to. They confirmed that they would continue (knowingly) sending me bills for the larger amount, but that if I paid what they believed I would actually owed, they would stop. I still have not received an invoice or any written documentation for what they now say I owe, and there's no way I'm just going to send them a check based on a voicemail and hope everything works out. This was followed up by a later voicemail threatening to "send me to debt collections," but they did not specify whether they would be trying to send to collections for the less than $300 they are (knowingly) falsely invoicing me for or the $90 they now claim I owe. I've requested that they send an invoice and documentation for what they actually believe I owe, while alerting them to my concerns that their continuing to send false invoices appears to be criminal. The saga continues. Again, avoid this business!

Dr. Miller did the work, replaced a crown and took care of a couple of broken teeth. Completely painless. His assistants are great, they know what to do and when to do it. I would recommend Dr. Miller and his staff.

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.

Recently, I came to Dr. Chahal with what seemed to be a tooth abscess and needing a root canal and not only did they fit me in right away but they checked on me during non office hours to see how my swelling was and to prescribe antibiotics for my infection. Definitely a dentist office that cares about its patients!

I had been going to a dentist in another town for many years. Then, the dentist started doing everything herself. I noticed that many patients I knew personally had stopped going there. All of a sudden that dentist started saying I needed various expensive procedures. That was it! I began going to my wife Sandie's dentist. (Rodig). I am highly pleased with this operation. The equipment is high tech & makes the office I had been going to look as it came from the Stone Age. My hygienist is knowledgeable and makes everything painless.

They got me in same day and actually cared about the pain I was in, unlike previous dentists. What dentist you know actually feel relief in the process of getting your tooth pulled? No pain at all. The staff is so welcoming, friendly and professional. The dentist even called after the procedure to ensure everything was OK. I took my daughter there and received the same exceptional service. Will be going here from now on. Thank you for the awesome service. 5 stars across the board!

You will experience no social graces from hygienist and DDS. 12/2024, my cavity was filled. The DDS did not smooth down the cap enough. After 2 more visits, DDS finally smoothed the tooth surface. The experience was very annoying and disappointing. 8/24/26, After leaving this dentist to find a much better 'family oriented whom exemplifies courtesy' and 'whom does not increasingly overcharge their services', I am pleased to post this and move forward. Avoid these characters who present themselves as community oriented but are scoundrels.

Wait times are always pretty short compared to other medical offices and appointments are consistent every 6 months.

I have colleagues who also come to this office and they have had really positive experiences as well. Dr. Sheu and his staff seem to really care about their patients. Highly recommend!

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.
