The staff was welcoming and professional, and Dr. Mendoza was especially fantastic—kind, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend them! Angie L17 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dr. Mendoza is truly exceptional! I recently had a root canal and crown treatment, and I was amazed by how painless and comfortable the entire process was. His steady hands and calm, focused presence made me feel safe and confident from start to finish. What really sets him apart is how well he manages pain - something I never thought possible during a procedure like this. As someone who’s carried dental anxiety since childhood, I can honestly say this experience helped me let go of that fear. I highly recommend Dr. Mendoza to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy dentist. He’s the best I’ve ever had! Thank you, Doctor and his assistant. They are amazing!! Also, the clinic is so close to Shops at Merrick park. Being able to go to Merrick park while waiting for the crown is another big plus. Very entertaining and rewarding!! Love it!! Carl Phillips6 May 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I were in Miami getting ready to leave on a cruise when I chipped a tooth. I called Dr. Mendoza’s office early on the morning of our departure and they scheduled me to see Dr. Mendoza within an hour. I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Dr. Mendoza is a very kind person. He determined that I needed a filling and he did the procedure quickly so that I was back at my hotel in plenty of time to make it for our cruise. His office staff was extremely hospitable. The receptionist even helped me get an Uber back to our hotel. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my dentist of choice. Again I cannot say enough good things about this practice. Very highly recommended. Omar Vargas23 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Merrick Dental for over a year now, and have to say it’s always a great experience from start to finish! Everyone is friendly, professional, and always attentive to my dental needs. Highly recommend 🙌🏾 gregory schneider15 April 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Earlier today, I had my first dentist appointment with Dr. Mendoza and the team at Merrick Dental. The whole experience--for a routine exam and cleaning--exceeded my expectations. Everyone was welcoming and made sure that I understood every step of the visit. Dr. Mendoza himself took care of the exam and cleaning and discussed different options for the next steps. It was one of the better dentist experiences I have ever had, without the high sales pressure that many dentists use. If you are looking for a dentist, I highly recommend Merrick Dental.
