“I was very anxious when I went in for my appointment. Jacqueline was amazing! She talked me through my anxiety and even held my hand for the anesthetic. Dr Mekari also came in to check on me before they got started on my dental work. I thought it was so wonderful to have such amazing care! I can really tell that Dr Mekari loves his profession through the level of detail he provides in his work. I am pleased with my pearly whites and have made my next appointment. If you are looking for an incredible Dentist, stop here! You've found him!”

“He took great care of me. I was seriously nervous about getting my wisdom teeth pulled. His team put me at ease and done the job quick and painlessly. ”

I had work on my lower right side and I needed two crowns and one tooth extraction. Dr. Mekari made sure I felt no pain. The procedures went well and I didn't feel him pull my wisdom tooth ?? thank you for taking care of me. Susan H

The ladies were great and I am extremely appreciative that the office took me in earlier to accommodate me. Dr Mekari was exceptional and I am glad he is my dentist

Having my tooth extracted was painless.
In fact, I didn't even know it was removed until I was told.
I only felt slight pressure when the dentist was cleaning out the area after the tooth was extracted.
I plan to return and have more work done

I took the time to research finding a dentist for Jule and discovered the painless shot method of Dr. Makari from the yellow pages. I did not know that existed. Worked great for Jule'. I've seen her cry out with pain from shots before so I know it worked as she was completely silent during the shot except for the anxiety at first. Also I noticed Dr. Makari has lots of very special training and that was a decision to try him also as you can see she needs a lot of work to keep her functioning with teeth etc. for the rest of her life as she is 60 yrs old now and has already lost one entire side of her lower teeth.
I do have one suggestion. Create a bumper sticker for cars with your info something like Tired of buzzing drills or don't like 3 inch needles and the pain! Then try Dr Makari!
I think a bumper sticker like that may keep the tailgaters away! ;-)
take care
