He is the BEST Dentist in the entire State of NJ!!! He is kind, gentle, professional and an AWESOME Dentist! After losing my dental insurance and having it replaced with a discount plan I have not been able to go. I REFUSE to go to any other Dentist! Its Dr. Merke or no one!! I'm in the process of getting new insurance and as soon as its official I will be calling Dr. Merke to make an appointment! I wish I could give a million stars! He deserves it and more.
