John P Merrick Md's Online Review Report Card

Always a pleasure. Good with kids and an informative conversation after visit.

Dr. John Merrick; a rock of the community, great doctor, trustworthy. Been in medicine for decades and has a sense of humor.

Unfortunately very disappointed, unnecessary procedures on my daughters teeth, also very expensive.Felt very cold shoulder when he was confronted and very arrogant.

I am so satisfied in how Dr Melinski treated my daughter yesterday morning. He was kind, patient and friendly. I am so happy I chose him to be my daughter's dentist. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes (and that was bc I had to fill paperwork) in not it would've been less. Hey have a cute little playing are we're kids can be while they wait, it's awesome.

Do not bring your children here! I would give zero stars if I could. Unfortunately I brought my son here and Dr. Melinski told my son that he had 8 cavities when he actually had none. I was not comfortable having him drill on my four-year-old so Dr. Melinski offered some sort of alternative treatment. My son hates sweets and never ate candy so I was very suspicious but did not listen to my gut. I was still suspicious so I brought my son to my regular dentist as soon as he turned five and I was told that my son had perfect teeth. It's a shame that Dr. Melinski takes advantage of caring parents just to take their money.

Took our 2 year daughter here for checkup and cleaning and was so impressed from the warm staff greeting us upon arrival and their cozy super kid friendly office. Dr Melinski took the time and had patience with us and comforted our 2 year old and made our visit so pleasant and easy. We walked out of there feeling good about our experience and our daughter talked about her dental appt all day! Will definitely be referring my mommy friends there with their toddlers!!

I'm wondering if the negative review below was meant for someone else since the name of the dentist is spelled incorrectly? I first took my children to see Dr. John Melinski in 1995. My son is severely autistic and other dentists had no patience with him at all but Doctor John was kind, soothing, and amazing in every way! My son is 28 years old now and I still take him for cleanings every 3 months. He has never had a cavity or any unnecessary work done. My daughter was also a patient throughout her childhood and she was always happy to go to the dentist. She had sealants put on her teeth and also never had a cavity or needed any work done. Highly recommend!!

If I could give zero stars I would. Office manager is rude, condescending and abrupt.

Worse Doctor Ever! Actually had a "Life threataning injury" once and he called me a wimp and told me to suck it up. If I'd listened I'd be dead now. Do not trust this man.

Dr. Merrick is very personable, and very interactive. He has always given me the proper care for my problems. I highly recommend him! :)
