COVID-19 UPDATE

The American Dental Association has released a recommendation that dental offices nationwide postpone all nonessential dental procedures for the next several weeks. In order to continue to maintain the health and safety of you and our team, we have made the decision to close the office until April 7, 2020. Our team will be onsite to take phone calls from 8:30 am - 12:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We are standing by to provide emergency dental care as needed by appointment.

 

 

Welcome to Our Practice

At the office of Dr. Mary A. Merlo-Murison our priority is to deliver quality care to informed patients in a comfortable and convenient setting.

Quality Care
When you have dental problems, you need to turn to a dentist who listens and responds ... an experienced doctor who knows the field and can effectively diagnose and treat your needs ... a friendly dentist who counsels you on the best ways to maintain and improve your health. Our staff meet all these criteria. Plus, you benefit from a dedicated team of trained professionals who give you the individualized attention you deserve.

Informed Patients
Dr. Mary A. Merlo-Murison believe that informed patients are better prepared to make decisions regarding their health and well being. That is why we've included an extensive section on this web site covering the full array of topics associated with dentistry and dental diagnoses and treatments. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your dental needs and care.

Comfortable, Convenient Setting
The best care in the world doesn't mean anything if you can't access it.  We strive to make our Chicago Loop office as efficient and convenient as possible. Included in these web pages is information about our office, including our Chicago location, maps, directions, hours, insurance policies and appointment scheduling. You can even email a request for an appointment right here!

We hope you find this web site useful and invite you to contact us with your questions at any time.
