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.
May 3, 2016James T.Verified patient
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!

Didn't. Remember I had lost a permanent crown. Perhaps this was not communicated to him, but his staff was quite aware.

No wait time for my appointment. My procedure today went very well with minimal discomfort if any. Dr. Mekari is professional and very knowledgeable. Staff is courteous and professional as well. Very satisfied with the service I received today as every visit I've had for the past year at Dr. Mekari.

Dr Mekari did a fine job! I had two teeth that needed caps,going in I was concerned about the pain involved and was amazed how pain free it was. I now have some beautiful teeth. High quality workmanship. Couldn't be happier! Thanks Dr Mekari
August 14, 2015Thomas M.Verified patient
Dr.Mekari is any excellent dentist and vèry professional. I have been with Dr.Mekari for over fifteen years. I will not go to any other dentist. Thanks Dr.Mekari.
June 23, 2015Betty H.Verified patient
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

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
More than 1 year agoAshlie B.Verified patient
He was awesome and made sure I was comfortable and had no pain. He answered any questions I had. Also, Throughout the procedure he would ask if I was feeling ok! He stayed completely focused on me and was never distracted. My past dentist would talk the entire time to his assistant about personal things and it made me uncomfortable bc I felt as though I was not his main focus while working on my teeth. I would recommend Dr. Mekari to anyone! He also has a great staff!
April 23, 2015Heather M.Verified patient
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
April 23, 2015Brian B.Verified patient
He's very polite &gentle. I had an extraction done and I didn't even realize it was pulled out as I braced myself.Wonderful staff and clean facility.

April 2, 2015Lisa G.Verified patient
Dr. Mekari and his staff were professional and put me at ease. They made sure that I was adequately medicated for pain before proceeding with my procedure, and explained the procedure as we went along.
January 20, 2015Kathryn D.Verified patient
I am continually impressed by Dr. Mekari and his staff. Going to the dentist can be scare based on the pain you believe you will experience. I have to say it has always been a comfortable pain free visit. I will always refer friends and family and continue as a patient as long as he is practicing. A+ rating.
