Recently, I had extensive crown work done to address older dental issues and repairs from past dentists. Dr. Propes put together a clear restoration plan focused on a long-term solution and not just a quick fix. The entire process was explained well, I felt comfortable the entire time, and the results exceeded my expectations. I've always been self-conscious about the condition of my teeth until now, thanks to the amazing work done by Dr. Propes and his staff. Everyone in the office is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. If you're looking for a dentist who does excellent work and truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Dr. Propes and the Dental Spa.

His front office staff is knowledgeable and warm, and his assistants clearly take great pride in the quality of their work.

We lucked out with Dr. Rowan, his staff is kind and attentive. He is very attentive and quick with his work. My daughter has extreme anxiety with dentists and she was able to complete her treatment without Nitrious. He let her pick the music, that was amazing and very appreciated. We did joke that there weren't any TVs but the music selection is nice. Did we mention Dr. Rowan is a genie, numbs everything before injecting the numbing stuff. Soo you barely feel the needles.

I got fillings done in their office in December of 2022. Now, it is August of 2024. And, my front…read moreteeth, filled by Dr. Skinner, still hurt until NOW, even after RCTs! Over one year and a half! My new dentist told me that the pain will very likely persists for years and nothing can be done at this point. Dr. skinner told me that I am sensitive to fillings. He tried to explain that different teeth respond differently to dental work at different ages, because my another dental filling done many years ago never sensitive. But, I recently got fillings done in China and NONE of them are sensitive and painful. ALL the fillings done here were sensitive and painful! So, it is HIS fillings that are sensitive and painful but NOT I am sensitive to dental work! After his fillings, I have seen a couple dentists for pain and even flied 18 hours to the other side of the world to seek solutions. Jesus, nobody can stay calm with such annoying pain and sensitivity for over one year and a half, very likely two, three or more years. Well, I will definitely give them zero if can.

After both of the them came off within half year, I decided it's time to switch to somewhere they actually care about the patients. Dr Sheu did a fantastic job redoing my fillings, minimal pain, very smooth edges on the fillings that I can't even feel it with my tongue. You might pay a little bit more because they are private practice but trust me its worth every penny!!! And for my case I even paid less than what Western Dental would have charged me.

Quality of crowns unsatisfactory now my husband is again having to replace the 2nd crown from this office. I paid out in one year over $6000 to this office for what to pay again in 3yrs!!! Very sad.

I arrived to my appointment with a surprise bill vs. canceling and "donating" $50 for a late cancelation. I clearly would have canceled my appointment if i was made aware of the cost. The woman in charge of billing decided to argue with me, claiming that she informed me last time but never did. I received a bad attitude and no apology. I decided to pay $150 for some flossing rather than wasting $50. You should inform your staff to do their job and notify clients of upfront costs so we can make an informed decision. And a little customer service would go a long way. I advise anyone who goes here to ask repeatedly about future appointment costs since staff delivers unreliable communication.

I received good care from the dentists here, but I found their business side predatory and…read moredishonest. I showed up for a routine cleaning to find that they no longer accepted Delta Insurance (they did not inform me of this change ahead of time). I chose to cancel my appointment and my wife's, which was scheduled soon after. The business manager met with me, and said that because they hoped to keep us as customers (and hoped to resume taking Delta by our next appointments), they would waive the charge for both my appointment and wife's if we did not cancel them. All went well until they were unable to resume taking Delta, and we had to change to another dentist (which provided superior care AND covered 100% of our dental expenses under Delta). Then, we suddenly began receiving bills for the appointments the business manager had waived. It seems that if they couldn't get us to pay cash for future appointments, rather than use our insurance (a cost of well over $1000 a year just for cleanings and exams), then they were going to do their best to squeeze what they could out of us, and were not going to let ethics or integrity get in the the way of a little money. I've talked to them on the phone, in person, and written to them. At first, they confirmed that the cost should have been waived. But they just keep sending bills for the amount they previously waived. I don't even know if that office manager still works there, and there's likely no one who now remembers a conversation from that long ago. It's a pain to deal with them constantly trying to collect less than $300 they are not owed. I think it's been two years of harassment from them. But they did me a favor too, and I hope it's one for you too if you're looking for a dentist in Merced. There are so many dishonest dentists preying on patients. I thought I'd found an honest one in El Portal. As stressful as this is, it likely saved me far more money in the long run by forcing me to leave them before getting taking advantage of by their unscrupulous business practices. Steer clear! I know it can be hard to find a new dentist in Merced, but don't settle for a practice you can't trust. Update: June 2026 I was contacted again by this business. They confirmed that I did not owe the approximately $300 they keep sending me invoices for. However, they instead claimed that I received a check from Delta Dental for about $90 several years ago, which they believed they were entitled to. They confirmed that they would continue (knowingly) sending me bills for the larger amount, but that if I paid what they believed I would actually owed, they would stop. I still have not received an invoice or any written documentation for what they now say I owe, and there's no way I'm just going to send them a check based on a voicemail and hope everything works out. This was followed up by a later voicemail threatening to "send me to debt collections," but they did not specify whether they would be trying to send to collections for the less than $300 they are (knowingly) falsely invoicing me for or the $90 they now claim I owe. I've requested that they send an invoice and documentation for what they actually believe I owe, while alerting them to my concerns that their continuing to send false invoices appears to be criminal. The saga continues. Again, avoid this business!
