"I visited Merchant Street Dental for the first time and was impressed by the staff's professionalism. Alyssa and Amanda had big smiles on their faces and made the check in process very easy and welcoming. My cleaning, expertly performed by Amy, was the best I've ever had. Dr. Rene's knowledge and caring attitude were evident during our consultation. I give this dental office a 100%, highly satisfied with the service."

"As a patient of Dr Rene Albishari at his previous location, I was delighted to follow him to his current practice. I have great confidence in his skills and he has always been extremely knowledgeable and informative in overseeing my dental health and procedures. He and the staff at Merchant Street Dental are always cordial and reassuring that I am receiving the best care."

"I needed a sort of an emergency visit and they got me in within a couple days. Everyone was so incredibly nice. I don’t have the best teeth and they treated me with kindness. Did not feel embarrassed at all. Looking forward to my journey to a healthier mouth. 😁 …"

"If I could give them 20 stars I would. They agreed to see my 10 year old son next day for some ongoing tooth pain, even though they’re not his usual practice and they’re not a pediatric dentist. Every single person at the office was a joy. The entire staff is kind, personable and knowledgeable. We were in and out so quickly but I didn’t once feel rushed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place, they really are fantastic."
