Dr Mertz' office in Longmont is very modern and the staff professional. He listens well and has empathy for his dental patients like myself who may have extreme anxiety before & during treatment . There is never a rushed feeling during treatment -he lets the novocaine do its job before drilling . He uses nitrous oxide to help me relax . He explains what he is doing & he & his assistant praise me too during the procedure which gives me confidence . During long procedures he makes sure that I get a bathroom break . I don't dread getting dental work like I used to !

I went in for an exam, for an implant and after which, was given a referral to an oral surgeon. I questioned why that they made the initial appointment, a week out and charged for an emergent exam, as well as didn't suggest to go to an oral surgeon. 500.00 for the appointment, that did little for the problem, outside of profiting the dental practice. I have called my insurance carrier to make a formal complaint, also I called Molly Perra at the Colorado Dental Association, and will file a written complaint. I would have written BBB, however Mertz is not a member, understandable so. There should be no excuse for fraudulent, unethical practices, especially when dentistry is a needed service.

She even laughs at my jokes. This dental group in general is full of positive, encouraging folks, from the front desk, to the office folk, to the dental team. I feel like we are all working to keep my mouth, teeth, and gums in good shape. I saw Dr. Dhaliwal this time and found her thorough and knowledgeable about the condition of my teeth. We bonded over both identifying (and me remembering) a cosmetic filling I had done years back on the outside of a tooth. I tend to chat a lot, and Dr. Dhaliwal and I had a good conversation as we went over my x-rays about the state of dentistry in overall medical/health industry. Yeah. :) And I really love that I can see my x-rays and the doc can point out what they see there and any specific concerns.(or kudos!) The only negative was that I had to wait longer than anticipated to begin my exam and cleaning. My appt was at noon, and they had gotten behind. It wasn't a hardship for me because I didn't need to be anywhere right after the appointment. But, if you are squeezing a cleaning in between work, lunch or other appts, you might want to get one earlier in the day to mitigate the chance the office is behind schedule by the time your appt comes around. Update 05/05/25: I am still very pleased with my experiences at North Boulder Dental. I still see Marian and she still does a wonderful job. This time I saw Dr. Sica, who I have been seeing since I joined the practice. We discovered today that we started at the practice about the same time -- 20 mumble years ago! At today's visit, I was due for x-rays. I was concerned about having another x-ray because I'd already had 2 in the last 2 months. Dr. Sica looked at the chart Marian had just updated and said I was good to go for another 6 months. The Staff is patient-focused, knowledgeable, caring, and there to help. I believe my teeth and gums are in good shape not only because of the staff's excellent preventive and proactive care, but because they have instructed me well in how to care for my own teeth and gums. At 60+, I have been able to maintain minimal periodontal disease and to stave off gingivitis so far. That said, the Staff has also seen me through root canals, caps, and replacement fillings. The only Con is that NBD does not take insurance. They have their own dental plan, which does not save us any significant money. (Unless our teeth get worse, which we want to avoid!) Previous Review: I've been with North Boulder Dental for 24+ years. Can't recommend them highly enough! During my visit yesterday, Marian was very personable. She gave me a thorough teeth cleaning and more information about geographic tongue, which helps me deal with it. She and Dr. Kristi praised me for the excellent job I was doing, which helps me feel capable of managing oral health issues.

I don't usually write negative reviews. As a business owner, I understand that people can have…read morenegative experiences sometimes and our businesses' reputations are vital to our livelihood. However, I have given this practice several days now to follow up and attempt to respond to my concerns and they have not. I went in for an initial appt and was not clearly informed that I would not have a cleaning. They told me it would be $320 out of pocket for the first appt including full xrays (they never asked if I had xrays done in the last year or if I wanted them done - looking back I would have gotten some sent from my last dentist). They gave me a tour of their many exam rooms and only one dentist - which made me question the quality of their care. The hygienist was struggling with equipment that was not working properly and after explaining that I have a phobia of vomitting and don't like feeling like I may gag, it took a solid 45 minutes of xrays to get it done. She was doing the best she could but it was a really awful circumstance and she was struggling to keep her cool. There was no problem solving or attempt to move me to a different room. The dentist was informed of the issue and seemed only minimally interested in noticing it or fixing it. Next the dentist came in and roughly pushed his fingers into my mouth attempting to put his finger down my throat despite my saying I did not like or want him to do that. He didn't explain why he needed to do so (I have never had a dentist do this before) and stated he would do it when I wasn't paying attention. He then proceeded to quiz me about anxiety and seemed to be making some judgments about what was wrong with me and handed me some information about a tedx talk but didn't share what it was about or how he felt it related to me. Later I went home and watched it and it referred to people with tongue issues, breastfeeding, posture, swallowing and snoring, which I do not relate to AT ALL. I am not sure what he felt my problem was - I asked but he seemed to have his own agenda hidden in his mind which he did not communicate to me. I also didn't ask for support with anxiety (I am a psychotherapist and am clear and comfortable with the symptoms I experience). It was clear he needed to feel intelligent but failed to get to know me before diagnosing me with issues that were out of his scope of practice. It was super judgey and condescending. The lack of clarity was confusing as well. Then they ushered me to the front and said I would come back for a cleaning. When I explained to them that I didn't have clarity that I wouldn't get a cleaning, I got some defensiveness and some apologies. I explained that I felt swindled into their "membership plan" bc I had just paid $320 and didn't even get my teeth cleaned, just a horrid experience. Financially, it would have made sense to sign up for that deal, now that I had already sunk $320 into my care there, but I didn't want to return and felt I had just wasted a bunch of time and money. I feel like you should be able to consult with a dentist first before feeling like you are committed. This dentist and system made me feel I had no choice - no voice or say. I asked to speak to the dentist or someone and by the time they finished loudly sharing my concerns in the back office and finally returned to touch base with me 10 minutes later, I was crying. I explained that I didn't have the emotional bandwidth to discuss it in the office right then and there. The dentist said he wanted to resolve it and I said I just needed to leave at that point. They didn't offer to reduce or waive my fee, just let me go ahead and pay in full and leave crying. I would have expected that if they really cared to resolve the issues, they could understand that I was too overwhelmed to talk in that moment and that they should follow up by phone or email later that day or the next day. I feel like this dentist is focused more on making money and feeling valid as an expert than he is in his integrity and care of patients as a dentist. Oh - and they use business sales tactics to gain 5 star reviews.
