I put off going to one for nearly 15 years. And due to my fear my teeth paid for it. With the help of my wife, I finally decided to take the plunge and make an appointment to a dentist. I decided on Dr. Merski because of the images and review I read off of google. Everything was superb and showed it to be an outstanding family run business. I'm so happy I found them. They have to be some of the nicest and most professional people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. From Dr Merski himself down to the receptionists. They will fight tooth and nail to make sure your insurance will cover things, work with your schedule to make appointments. And even get you in very quickly for little things like a crown adjustment. I have had in total 4 cavities, a root canal, and now a crown. It has been probably one of the least painful experiences I have ever had while visiting a dentist. Dr Merski is that good, and I highly recomend him to everyone in need of a good dentist. (apologizes for my bad grammar I wrote this review on my phone after my latest visit)

I was having a common problem of middle age where…read morecavities were forming under older restorations that didnt fit right and were done with materials that leak over time. I knew that I needed a specialist prosthodontist...a dentist that is board qualified in restorative dentistry...and I was prepared to travel to Pittsburgh or Cleveland if needed. After a bit of research, and upon the recommendation by a general dentist I know, I found that Dr Kubit is the only board qualified prosthodontist in the Erie region. After my first appointment I knew that I had found the dentist my teeth have been needing for the past 10 years. Over the past 12+ months Dr Kubit and her team have restored several of my teeth, some of which were very complicated. And her practice has hometown prices that are more than fair for the high quality care that she and her team provide. In fact the prices are less than my former primary care dentist. I am very thankful that I found Dr Kubit, and recommend her very highly!

First, I want to say that his work is top-notch. I've had a cap he did for almost 40 years, and it…read morestill looks great. Other dentists have remarked how beautiful the tooth looks. However, I am disappointed with the attitude of his staff and maybe him. They (in the past) were supercilious making for tense interactions. When I tried to voice some concerns about my dental health, they were patronizing, but to be honest, this was a few decades ago (I've had a different dentist for several years now). However, my relative was starting cancer treatments and asked for a cleaning before they began. They staff/doctor) told her they would not do it because she was going through treatments. She told them that her oncologist highly recommended she get a cleaning before the treatments began. She tried to tell the staff this, but they would not listen to her. They became very argumentative with her. Not even two weeks later, she received a letter stating they were dropping her as a patient, and this occurred in 2021. My relative had been a patient there since the 1980s, by the way. Very frustrating!

I have extreme dental anxiety, some people may consider it a phobia. I just thought I needed to come on and leave this review here because the staff and Dr. Starr are absolutely wonderful. They are very understanding with any nerves or anxiety you may have, and took absolute care of me. I felt very safe and can honestly say even though the procedure was fairly minor I've never once felt this comfortable while have dental work. I highly recommend everyone that needs a new dentist to give this office a go. Absolutely amazing will be returning for all my needs in the future. THANK YOU so much to the staff and Dr. Starr for the excellent experience. I'm confident that my anxiety will be far less than normal whenever I'm in this office. Can't not say it enough, they're the absolute best I've been to.

This practice seems very deceptive at revealing what they are going to charge you. I have included…read moreparts of an email from Dr Starr where I requested pricing for an upcoming visit. I ask repeatedly what the cost will be for routine procedures as well as what they will perform at my general intake and he seems to tell me that maybe I can't afford his practice because I want to know what they will be charging me. Be aware of the their reluctance to reveal expected charges ahead of your visit and and to be treated like a lesser class citizen. Maybe someone else can identify with this- Dr Starr charged me $50 to tell me cosmetic dentistry for my mouth is like purchasing a car, I can by a Ferrari or a Yugo. Profound as this advice was, I could have saved the $50 and total waste of my time going to this pompous office. My email to the office asking about the charges of my upcoming appointment- I would like to temporarily suspend my appointment for next week. What will be performed and the subsequent fee schedule at above referenced appointment? Why was I not informed of a $50 charge prior to yesterday's visit, only after? Would that be refunded if I had cosmetic work performed at the practice? If my family and I switched to this practice, would I have to pay $50 for each individuals family members initial visit? Can you supply a fee schedule for routine dental procedures? We are self pay and would pay cash at each visit. Do you offer cash discount? If so what percentage? Snip below form our beloved Dr Starr- "Hi Michael, As requested, I have cancelled your appointment for next week. You were charged yesterday for a consultation appointment. This fee is not refundable. We would be happy to have you and your family as part of our practice. We would initially need to bring each of you in as new patients with our practice. This would include needing to take a set of records (x-rays, photographs, periodontal charting, etc) and perform comprehensive examinations accordingly. There are charges associated with each of those procedures. We do not offer a cash discount, however we do offer an in-house insurance plan that is very beneficial for those patients without dental insurance. I will be up front in telling you that if you are looking for the cheapest option for dental care for you and your family, we are likely not going to be the best option for you and your family. We have a very high standard of care for our patients. We simply cannot provide that level of care AND be the cheapest office in town. We can certainly answer all your questions. Please give us a call Monday and someone will be happy to discuss these questions with you. Thank you for your email. Dr. Starr Again- I would be aware of this place and if you do choose them follow you billing closely. Remember they work for you and you shouldn't feel like you aren't being filled in on the financial picture.

The wait was a little long, went past my appointment time, but I don't complain since I know how busy dental clinics are. And you don't want the dentist to rush with your dental work because its somebody else's appointment time. I am patient when it comes to teeth. Dr. Dennis was very friendly, good at his job, and understanding towards me. I liked that he did not keep me waiting in the chair for a very long time (like to attend another patient while waiting for my x-ray) and was attentive to my case for the entire 30 minutes. I did not have dental insurance and was expecting a big fat bill but was pleasantly surprised to see a fair cost of treatment. Of course it was not inexpensive, and I did not expect it to be.

I overlooked getting my son to the dentist, and apparently that's tantamount to child abuse. Between the receptionist, hygienist and Dr. Shapter, I was guilt tripped about not getting my kid in sooner no less than ten times. No exaggeration. Dr. Shapter was also nasty to the hygienist in front of us. If you're willing to tune out their judgmental attitudes, the staff really does care about children's teeth. The hygienist made sure to give me lots of tips for helping take care of teeth between appointments.
