SENSATIONAL DENTAL OFFICE! - The folks working here are absolutely first-rate. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, and they made me feel right at home, the second I walked in the door. I truly can't say enough good things about Dr. Mercado and his team. I had a tooth extracted and both Dr. Mercado and his assistant Lisa made the whole process effortless and enjoyable. Everyone here is incredibly personable, sincere and willing to help you with any and all concerns. Absolutely first-rate dental office! : ) : ) : )

Dr. Mercado and his team are absolutely wonderful. They are so easy to work with and even with my busy schedule they provide communication via text which is awesome being I can't answer calls in our dispatch center. I have never been a fan of the dentist but now I don't mind coming at all, I trust that they have my best interest in mind and they are super funny and friendly. I tell everyone I know about them, wish I can add more stars. You guys rock!

Dr. Mercado's dental office is the best I've ever experienced. Everyone I've had interactions with in his office has been not only very friendly and welcoming but also very knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Mercado has created a very warm and engaging practice designed to make you feel very comfortable. He is also very much up to date with all the latest technology which actually makes the procedures less intrusive. Overall a great dental office. I highly recommend it!

I love, love, LOVE this office! If you hate (or are afraid of) going to the dentist, these folks will put you at ease. The vibe is great and the work Dr. Mercado and his team does is top notch. Honestly, I can't imagine going anywhere else. Shout out to Lisa, Courtney, Ashley, Elyssa, Yami, and the whole team. They know how to make a visit to the office into as fun an experience as possible. These folks know their teeth! Plus, you can't beat a pop music playlist. You just can't. Thanks, y'all!

I haven't been to the dentist in 2+ years so I decided to look in the area for one. I read the reviews and decided to request an appointment. Response was with 24 hours. Yami and Jackie were super helpful when filling out required paperwork. When I came in for my appointment I quickly noticed that the office was super clean and had a pleasant ambiance.
Staff was friendly and I never had to wait more than 5-8 minutes for my appointment to actually start. They do a great job of explaining what will occur during my appointment and making sure I know what my options are. Dr. Mercado has done my cavity filings and Marcy did my teeth cleaning. I would highly recommend them to anyone. 10/10!

I've been patient of Dr. Lott (and staff) for years; Dr. Mercado (and staff) came in and I've received the same (if not more) wonderful and caring service, from the hygienists to Dr. Mercado himself (and Jackie, his go-to office mgr.) They have helped me through several troubling dental (and financial) issues, always willing to go the extra mile to help.
They deserve (and have certainly earned their 5-Star rating. Example: I'm having two root canals at nearly the same time, but insurance requirements are complicated, so Jackie is working with me, with Dr. Mercado, and the root canal dentist to arrange everything so insurance is used primarily on both procedures. Bottom line: if you ask, you might be surprised at how well and how grateful they are to help you, with whatever issue you may have. I heartily recommend this office for all your dental needs. Jackie and staff are fantastic and I'm pleased to be their patient.

Dr. Lott took care of my dental needs for many years. I've had my fair share of mediocre dental providers before I found this midtown dental clinic from browsing the internet. Google & Yelp reviews such as this helped me a great deal to pick up the phone one day to call & book my first ever appointment & the rest is history. Fast forward to the present. Dr. Lott had retired & my amazing dental hygienist had left during the pandemic.
I think Dr. Mercado is a fine replacement, however, Dr. Lott already took care of the major dental works that I needed --- my dental implant being the last one before Dr. Lott retired --- when he took over. Hence, I would spend majority of my time during routine visits with the hygienist. I was still dealing with some sort of separation anxiety from Dr. Lott & my former hygienist when Jackie, Dr. Lott's daughter who mans the front desk, recommended a fairly new hygienist to me named Annie.
I gave Annie a try today & she wowed me on the spot! She is genuinely skilled & very knowledgeable. Her hands work with finesse & precision. I'm grateful to Jackie for the recommendation. Jackie is the mainstay who has always been very helpful & is the consummate professional relative to customer service. This is the first time I'm writing a review & I'm going to make the most out of it why not?! In my personal experience through the years, SacSmiles is still the best in town no question about it!

Just had a "deep cleaning" with Tracy at Dr. Lott's office. I know lots of people don't like going to the dentist but if you have to go what better place than Dr. Lott's. The good doctor and his staff are always so kind, caring and helpful, they all make you feel at ease when you are there, very much at home. I want to thank Tracy for all the care she has given to me, she is so considerate of my TMJ situation, I am very appreciative and grateful to her and everyone at Dr. Lott's. As I said "if you have to go.what better place." Thank you! See you next time.
