His office has a nice relaxing waiting room and his staff is very welcoming and friendly. Sue did my X-rays and cleaning. She's great. Chatted with me which I like because it distracts me! Dr. O'Keefe stopped in and was his usual self! Talked hockey and jokes were made. I did miss his humor and gentle touch dealing with my tooth that's needing some work. There may be some pain but he will do his best to minimize it. I recommend Dr. O'Keefe for your dental needs. My family agrees and sees him also.

Using her words they tried to scare her into getting her bridgework fixed that a previous dentist said actually looked great and did not need anything. Personally, I've never had a problem with this dentist. Their staff has always been friendly. The only "bad" experience I can say I had is the one time they tried to persuade me into getting a guard for teeth grinding. It wasn't covered under my insurance at the time and I decided to pass on it. They weren't pushy or anything, but I do feel the recommendation was not fully honest because a) I don't see grind marks on my teeth like they say are there and b) I don't experience headaches or issues with my teeth. I have some receding gums due to genetics that does not cause me issues due to using sensitive toothpaste and soft toothbrushes. I will be looking for a new dentist based on my mother's experience. Dentists should not try to scare their patients into getting unneccessary work done.

It is unfortunate that I am in both the insurance related and geographical position where I have to…read moreattend this business. The head dentist is a fine practitioner and he does a good job in the rare event you can see him. However, I give the business one star due to absolutely terrible wait times for general appointments (in excess of six months), and the demeanor of the staff. I will note that this office is in Penfield, NY, not the "City of Rocheter". I understand that they take lower levels of insurance but the operation of the business is antithetical to just about any sort of professional operation I have known in the area. Being a patient at this office is an experience in line with visiting the department of social services and dealing with somebody very forceful. I mean that both in the way they will try to force you into services you may not want or need and in the brute physical sense. The hygienists I have seen all struck me as completely rude and abusive. After visiting the office it is very clear that they DO NOT CARE about YOU AT ALL. If you need your teeth serviced they will do it and run the check as high as they can. Depending on the interface you may leave feeling like you left a welfare interview. You will step out of the doors to look at Pefield Road.

Had to call again (they never call me...) in early June. Pain was a 7/10 at this point. Their answer? They can book me at the end of July. 4 dentists over 2 offices and they couldn't fit me in.

I understand we could have checked on our own, but she didn't think of that and it's our backwards healthcare system in this country that is mostly to blame. But GOOD providers are proactive in telling new patients if they are in-network or out-of-network as soon as you provide insurance prior to visit. When I paid the bill I suggested they do this every time. (Maybe they are, but forgot in this instance.) We pay for dental insurance and it would have been free in-network, but we paid $177 for a cleaning (insurance picked up $132 of the bill only) for out-of-network.

I made an appointment for March 7th for x-rays, cleaning, and an exam for $368.00. Everything…read morestarted out fine with  Marlene,  the hygienist she  took x-rays and then  cleaned my teeth. She stated she didn't see anything on the x-rays that were a concern she stated "everything looks good ".  Dr. Merkley came in shortly afterwards and sat down towards the back of my head, not in front of me so I could see him, I had to turn around in the dental chair to shake his hand. Very rude I thought, why not wheel his chair in front of me to face me when speaking to me, but he never did. He then proceeded to ask Marlene how the x-rays looked, again she stated everything looked good. He asked me why I was there, I explained my pain initially started on the bottom left but moved to the upper right. I told him the night before I bent over and felt a pop in my nose and my right ear, he automatically said it's a sinus infection.  He never checked the teeth I was complaining about. My old dentist would blow air or water to try and get a reaction,  he did absolutely nothing.  He then proceeded to count my teeth and was telling Marlene numbers and I believe if they were crowns or implants,  he said ok nice to meet you and I said do I still use the orajel? He said no  your teeth are sensitive. He then left the room, he was in there less than 2 minutes,  he did not perform an oral exam, he never checked what teeth were bothering me, and how could I have a sinus infection and then have sensitive teeth? I paid my bill, left and hoped the pain would go away, I went and bought sensitive toothpaste but by Friday I was in so much pain I was taking 4 advil every 4-5 hours. I called my primary and was given an appointment for Monday March 13th at 9 am. The nurse practitioner checked my head and sinuses and nothing hurt, she did not believe it was a sinus infection.  She was nice enough to give me lidocaine for my mouth and a prednisone pack if there was any inflammation.  At this point I am livid because I paid Dr. Merkley $368.00 dollars and he did absolutely nothing for me. I called the office and spoke with Danielle and explained to her why I was upset, I don't think he should be asking a hygienist if there is anything wrong and it was also wrong that he never checked the teeth I was complaining about. Danielle called me back a couple hours later after speaking to Dr. Merkley and Marlene,  the new story I was given by Danielle told by Marlene and Dr. Merkley is that he spoke to me about tmj and grinding my teeth, I laughed and said that was a complete LIE, none of that was ever mentioned to me, she then proceeded to tell me that they also said he could see my sinus cavity on the x-ray and that is why he mentioned a sinus infection. So did I have a sinus infection or sensitive teeth?? Because he stated both issues.  My teeth aren't sensitive to hot, cold or sweets so how he came to that conclusion I would love to know, because he definitely didn't test my teeth to find out. Now I have to pay another dentist to get a proper exam. I truly believe Dr. Merkley totally scammed me, he did not provide an oral exam and made his decision based off the fact that I stated my nose and ear popped the night before.   Sincerely,   Tina Benge
