Dr. Merlino is a magical being, who is just amazing with children of all ages. Not only does she speak to my 7 year old, but she walks him through every step of each thing she is about to do. Her tone is so sweet and caring. She is funny, kind, compassionate and an all out amazing human and dentist!! I wish they made them like her for grown ups...She practices with ease and care and treats each child independently of their own needs. Amazing will never be enough to describe this doctor!!! It's like you have known her your entire life from your very first visit.And let's not forget her welcoming front desk team!!! These ladies exceed expectations from the start!! What's not to love!!If you are looking for a pediatric dentist, whether for your child's first dental experience or because you need a change, then run don't walk to Dr. Merlino!! She and her team will not disappoint! #teamdrmerlino
