Mercer Dental Assoc

Great dentist. He and his entire staff are kind, friendly and patient. He answered all my questions.

I began bringing my child to see Dr. Pope when she was 3. Although I did not find his demeanor or attitude pleasant to manage as a parent, I continued bringing her there for over 11 years as he seemed to have a better attitude with children and they had a decent rapport. Today I was shocked that he decided that at 14, she needs to be seen by adult dentistry services with no previous conversations, made inappropriate body-shaming remarks to her and all present (“Look, you are bigger than our chair!”), and cancelled the appointment that was scheduled for 6 months in advance. We understood that she would see him until 18, but suddenly that is not the case. My daughter is humiliated and hurt by how she was treated and I am choosing to move our services to a completely different practice. Although Dr. Pope provides decent dentistry for small kids, he is awful to deal with and is not someone I will ever let speak to my child again.
