Scott Merkley

Like many people my age, it had been a long time (5 years?) since I’d been to the dentist. Once it wasn’t forced on me, I waited until my teeth hurt before I ever made an appointment. It’s not that I don’t care about my teeth, it’s just that I suffer from the popular and extremely common fear of dentistry.
I have to say that this experience was the best dental experience I’ve ever had! The office staff were friendly and cheerful greeting me at 7am, and the rest of the staff followed suit. My hygienist, Henrietta was an absolute pleasure, gentle with her cleanings and very upfront about everything she was doing. Best part? I didn’t get the dreaded angry flossing lecture, and no awkward small talk about the weather. Who would have thought I would end up laughing in a dental office!
Dr. Merkley was helpful and listened to my concerns patiently and provided excellent care. I look forward to continuing my (regular, every 6 months) check-​ups at this office. The office was clean and pleasant, and the location is great for getting around since it’s so close to the Canada Line.
The experience was mostly painless and comfortable, and I feel less afraid of going to the dentist now.
Thumbs up!
