These people are wonderful. Either dentist and every assistant, just wonderful…read more I came to them with compacted wisdom teeth that were destroying all the other teeth and horribly contaminating my breath, and they never once made me feel insecure. Now, all thanks to them (and the wonderful oral surgeon Rocco advised me to go see) I can smile again. Really smile. Everyone in the office is always compassionate and understanding. I had to give 4 only because an assistant handed me a bottle of special toothpaste once and neglected to tell me that I was going to be charged for it. I hate getting hit from left field with a charge I knew nothing about. UPDATE 5 STARS: We got a phone call from them and everything's been resolved! They're always so considerate and kind!! :-) This is America, most businesses only care about the money. Not Dr. Rocco's office. Everyone there simply cares about you, and how you're doing. It's a wonderful change compared to every dentist I've been to before. They're really the ONLY place to go.

There are 2 dentists in this office, I believe that they are father and son. I have been to the…read moreyounger and he is wonderful!! A chronic illness has done major damage to my teeth. He works with the whole person, very compassionate. He tells you everything that is happening as well as how he sees your treatment plan for the future. I highly recommend him, especially if you are dealing with an illness that affects your dental health!

I highly recommend this dentist. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and wonderful with kids. My…read moregrandkids love going to the dentist and can't wait to go back!. I was taking them to a pediatric dentist in Kalamazoo who was going to send my grandson to the hospital for oral surgery which was going to cost almost $2000 out of pocket, but the kid's doctor recommended Dr. Rowland and I am so glad he did!!! Come to find out, my grandson didn't need the surgery. Dr. Rowland was able to remove the bad teeth and not only saved me from spending a lot of money I didn't have, but saved my grandson from an unnecessary surgery!!! Thanks so much Dr. Roland!!!

Dr. Rowland's sign says, "caters to cowards" and it's absolutely true. While I don't fear the…read moredentist specifically, I have a very strong fear of needles, which makes simple dentistry like getting a filling a terrifying prospect for me. Dr. Rowland and his staff could not be more accommodating and kind to the fearful visitor like me. Rather than treat me like I had a problem--that all I had to do was "think differently" and I would suddenly be no longer afraid--they took care of me, offered me anything and everything I needed to make me comfortable (topical numbing to make sure I didn't feel the shot), and on top of it, they treated me with compassion. I can still remember the first time I was there for a filling, and Dr. Rowland sat there and spoke to me while squeezing my shoulder comfortingly as the numbing set in, helping me get my mind off what was about to happen. Now, while I still can't say I look forward to dental work, at least I don't dread it. Incidentally, I also appreciate how well the staff knows their patients--Dr. Rowland always asks after my family and remembers conversations from previous visits. I feel very welcome there and would recommend him to anyone!

With a miserable, killer toothache, I called these folks on a Thursday. They didn't have time to…read moresee me that day, OK, I get that. We made an appointment for the next Tuesday leaving five days to wait for some relief. So I showed up on Tuesday and they diagnosed an infected tooth that would have to be pulled, but didn't have time to deal with it right then. They loaded me up with oxycontin and antibiotics, then sent me on my way, still dealing with the torturous pain. And there were no appointments available until the NEXT Tuesday. Next Tuesday finally came, and they called to reschedule the appointment again! Now it's Friday late afternoon, and they just called to tell me that the dentist had to go to the emergency room, I'm on my own, back at square one. It's Friday, everybody else is closed until Monday! And the cost of the office appointment is down the drain. I'm sorry that the dentist had to go to the emergency room, and hope that everything comes out OK for him. But surely the staff there knew they wouldn't be able to accommodate their patients. Couldn't somebody at Otsego Family Dentistry have mercy and let me know earlier? I think one star is overly generous.

Dr Merda is wonderful. Dr Johnson is also wonderful. Great office, all the girls are very friendly…read more& helpful. Saw the comment below, Dr. Merda went to the emergency room & everyone was notified. He is on medical leave for a little bit. Everyone there is hard working & doing the best they can. Also I know they don't prescribe oxy & they more then likely referred him to an oral surgeon & he didn't want to do that. Anyways, great office, great staff, would recommend to everyone :)
