He, in turn, advised Dr. Rowan's office. We could not be happier or more grateful for these kind, gentle, caring folks. They worked hard from the moment we walked into the office to put my wife at ease. The surgery was a major piece of work, but at no time was my uncomfortable, and she was calm and comfortable afterwards as well. These folks understand people, and actually listen. They were able to give my wife appropriate meds, and ensured that any post surgery discomfort would be managed. Great folks. We highly recommend them!

It's 4 years later and I have had no issues. Highly recommended, especially if you are super nervous about this kind of thing like I am!

Dr. Patel said the x-ray was not sufficient and he needed to take another one, a lady from the front desk came and talked to me telling me she had to let me know it was going to be exspensive, $175.00 but the Dr. needed it. So I agreed. After the x-ray, Dr. Patel came back in and said he needed 5 teeth pulled and it would be $3,000.00 I was stunned! Also that did not include todays visit. I told them I would have to see what I could come up with, I did not have $3000. They told me I could apply for Care Credit or Cherry, I did and was approved for $9000. to be used only at Dr. Patels office. Paid cash $300.00 for today made an appt for a week away. My Dad is 93 and on a limited income and I also wanted to check with his Dr. to make sure it was ok to do this. The next day after thinking about everything, I felt as if we were being taken advantage of. I went back to original dentist and told them what happened. He decided he would do it himself. Which he did and all is well. Another thing I did not like was Dr Patels office gave no breakdown on the charges just $3,000. I would not advise anybody to go here.

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.

And I found myself second guessing their opinion so I switched to MMD for a second opinion and sure enough I was right, the previous dentist was wrong. That said, MMD makes you feel like more than just another patient. Dr Gill is wonderful and genuinely I've never felt safer going to the dentist. She's honest but so non-judgmental. I struggled with brushing my teeth pretty consistently (like I'd miss a couple days in between) because as a kid I was never taught to at all so it was a habit I had to build as an adult. I was honest with her about this because genuinely I wanted to be better. She never judged me and she even took the time to go through each topic with me so I was well prepared to move forward. It's been a few months, I haven't missed a single day, and I do feel as though she was a huge part in me building that habit. Tajanae the hygienist, I absolutely adore her and she really does feel like you're just working with a friend. She's truly a safe space where you can really feel comfortable. I had a deep cleaning with her and some laser treatment and it was a breeze because of how comfortable she is. She has also been a big part in this journey. Jose is also really amazing, he will work with you on things that you might be struggling with and he's was very helpful in me being able to even afford the dental work I needed. My insurance barely paid for anything so the discounts this office provides is just incredible. It was even cheaper than when I was going to western dental. Lastly, Dr Justin Nassiri, he's wonderful. I went in today to get my wisdom teeth removed and he was honest with me that it was a bigger risk for me to get them out than to leave them in because I have a nerve right along my root and I'm a very high risk for losing feeling in my face. Genuinely, many doctors I've known wouldn't have cared about this and would have done it anyways. I am truly grateful for his honesty because this saved me a great deal of money and potential problems in the future. I say all of this with absolute gratitude for all workers at MMD. I've never had a better dental team and I cannot imagine going anywhere else. Thank you truly!
