My daughter has the most amazing dental cleaning and check up ever yesterday at Dr. Rania Elbaz's office! Her dental hygienist Julia was absolutely out of this world amazing! So sweet, caring, friendly and so fun and diligent in her work. She helped my daughter feel so relaxed in the chair! My daughter literally gave her a hug at the end. Dr. Rania was awesome as always, with a sweet, caring, friendly demeanor and expressed great interest in my daughter's orthodontic dental plan as well. Words can't express enough how amazing this dental office is! Literally changing the game of pediatric dental care for the better!

I was nervous about taking my 3 year old for his 1st dental appointment, but my fears quickly vanished as soon as I entered the office. Everyone, from the receptionists, the hygienist, to the doctor, were absolutely fabulous! They were super nice and very skilled in working with children; the office is clean, inviting, and entertaining for my little one. I am so happy I live only a few blocks away and look forward to bringing my son here for a long time!

Dr. Elbaz and her team are exceptional! My daughter loves going to the dentist because of their caring and accommodating nature. My son was scared during his first appointment, but everyone was very sweet and patient with him. Furthermore, I was so impressed that Dr. Elbaz brought up topics with my daughter that were discussed at her last appointment. She has built up a great rapport with my daughter.

Thank you all for everything you do to make going to the dentist fun and comfortable!
Mar 10, 2023
My daughter had to find a new dentist due to a change of insurance coverage so all of our friends raved about Dr. Rania Elbaz and recommended that we schedule a visit. Let me tell you Dr. Rania and her staff are absolutely amazing and live up to all of the raving reviews! Dr. Rania is so patient with my daughter, so friendly, so knowledgeable and is a true expert in her field. She is the absolute platinum standard of pediatric dental care! Dr. Rania also cares very much about being in sync with and informed about my daughter's orthodontic treatment plan as well. We feel so lucky to have found her and her amazing staff!
Feb 12, 2023
Dr. Rania is the most wonderful and loving dentist. Very professional yet feels like family. Both my kids love her and her entire staff. She always gives us an honest opinion and is to the point. The smile on their staff members face, even at the end of the day, just tells everyone how much they love to work with Dr. Rania. I highly recommend her care and we are so blessed to have her as our dentist. Lots of love and luck. Amrit Rali

Dr. Elbaz, You are a great doctor! We love coming to your office. Everyone who works for you is great. They are so professional, kind, and welcoming.
Jan 15, 2023
Dr. Elbaz and her staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and thorough. They are wonderful with children of all ages, and Dr. Elbaz made my cranky toddler smile and giggle by the end of the visit. We have been going to Dr. Elbaz since my 6-year old got his first teeth, and we adore her!
Jan 5, 2023
What I was expecting to be a stressful experience (for myself and daughter) turned into a very easy and pleasant experience. All the staff was warm, welcoming and friendly. And Dr. Elbaz was thorough, gave concise explanations and made sure my daughter was comfortable and not fearful during her first visit to the dentist. In fact, my daughter didn’t want to leave after her visit bc she was having so much fun at the office! A++
Dec 14, 2022
Dr. Rania Elbaz has been my daughters dentist for a number of years. We have been to other dentists and the dentistry might be have good, but Dr. Elbaz just treats my child like a kid. I have never met a Doctor with a bedside manner. I wish I could see her for myself, but she unfortunately for me specializes in pediatrics. On top of all that, she employs sweetest and most thorough hygienists I’ve ever met. My child feels nervous going in to the office and that all melts away as soon as the hygienists walks in.
Dec 13, 2022
We are so absolutely grateful to have found Dr. Rania and her staff! Everyone is kind, patient, and very relatable. My kids look forward to visiting this practice.
Dec 8, 2022
Hands down the best pediatric dentist office. Dr. Elbaz and the entire staff are absolutely wonderful and the kids are happy to visit.

Dr. Elbaz is extremely wonderful with children my daughter has been going for a few years and my son had his first appointment yesterday and it went very well. She takes the time to explain everything and is very patient and caring.
Oct 28, 2022
The entire staff is always so pleasant and kind. Any extra fees or insurance discrepancies are always brought up as soon as I check my son in so there are no surprises. My son has been coming to Merrick Pediatric Dentistry since he was about 3 years old, he is now 8 and his recent visit came with no anxieties or major fears. that is a testament to the care and kindness that this office shows towards its patients. Thank Merrick Pediatric Dentistry for your dedication!
Oct 19, 2022
The most kind, gentle, attentive staff
Sep 29, 2022
My son has been a patient of Dr. Elbaz since he was four years old. He is now 16 and she continues to intercept any potential issues (needing to do palate expander, now impacted wisdom tooth, etc.) before they become big ones. If anyone is in doubt about the need for pediatric dentistry, or have had a child that is reluctant to have their teeth cleaned in a "family" facility, they owe it to themselves to check out this practice.
Sep 29, 2022
This is the first time my son tolerated the dentist. Your kindness and knowledge shows on all levels.
Sep 22, 2022
Dr. Elbaz and staff are truly amazing!! They go above and beyond.
Sep 14, 2022
Dr. Rania is the best dentist for my special needs daughter. Works so well with kids.
Aug 26, 2022
I submitting a glowing review under my other child Dylan. Both children received exceptional care. Thank you for everything!
Aug 2, 2022
I am sorry I forget the hygienist’s name who took care of my children because she was kind, patient and explained everything to them in a way they felt comfortable. My five year old was nervous about the X-rays but she talked him through it and successfully got the job done. Both kids left happy, feeling good and insisted on flossing at night after learning how important it is for them. Dr. Elbaz was kind and gentle and always. I’m loving this practice and tell all my mom friends! The office staff was friendly and helpful, as always! Thank you to Dr. Elbaz and her team!
Aug 2, 2022
As a new patient, I highly recommend Dr. Rania. The office staff was very polite and the office beach theme is adorable along with the stickers and prizes at the end of the visit. The staff was very thorough and understanding of my daughter's complex medical history. When Dr. Rania saw my daughter she was very kind, gentle and made my daughter feel at ease while finishing her assessment and cleaning. She thoroughly explained the x-rays, what she saw and gave reasons as well as possibilities of future treatments. You can tell she has been doing this a long time and cares about her patients. I will definitely be bringing my other children here as well.
Jul 30, 2022

Absolutely amazing! We loved our experience and have already told our friends with babies in the area to use this office. Thank you for making our daughters first dental visit enjoyable and not overwhelming for this anxiety-riddled momma!
Jan 27, 2022
Our dental hygienist was amazing - my son who was afraid to go asked to bring her home. Very thankful for her patience and great work. Dr. Elbaz was wonderful as always.
Jan 20, 2022
Dr. Elbaz and her staff are friendly and accommodating. Although this was a terrifying experience for my 23-month-old daughter - a new experience, new faces - we came out okay. Even though I was late, they immediately took us.
Jan 7, 2022
My son always has a good experience with Merrick Pediatric Dentistry! He is only 5 years of age but is never scared to go to the dentist because the hygienists and Dr. Rania make it 'fun'. They explain what they are doing, let him touch the tools they are using, and most of all are patient and encouraging. They also provide sunglasses, a show on a screen, stickers and something from the prize box at the end of the visit. They explain everything to me, what to look out for, what to keep in mind as he grows, etc. The front desk is also a pleasure to deal with. I am VERY happy I found Merrick Pediatric Dentistry.

Oct 3, 2021
We could not ask for a better dentist.
Oct 1, 2021
Dr. Elbaz and team are super! I'm the first to admit, my daughter is difficult to work with at times, as she is on the Autism spectrum. She requires lots of patience and reassuring. The team is always kind and patient while getting the job done. A special shout out to Ms. Cheryl for her always soothing, and professional demeanor. I appreciate you all!
Sep 15, 2021
I will never take either of my children to any other dentist! My son is terrified of his dental appointments, and Dr. Elbaz and her entire staff are beyond patient with him! Every single step is explained, they let him feel all of the instruments, and they never push if he is uncomfortable. We went yesterday and they were able to get x-rays and do his cleaning. I’m not sure any other office would have been able to get that done!! They are the absolute best!!
Sep 3, 2021
Always a great experience here. Hygienists and dentist are the best

Dec 29, 2020
Merrick Pediatric Dentistry has always made us and our son feel extremely comfortable irrespective of the anxiety he often struggles with. This year, in particular, we were worried since we skipped our cleaning this past April due to COVID19. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. The practice has implemented well thought out procedures in order to reduce concerns related to COVID19 and they are executed in a very child-friendly manner. It is also amazing to me that although our son only visits twice a year, the doctor and staff remember so many things about him and he always feels very welcome and excited to catch them up on his latest experiences. THANK YOU Merrick Pediatric Dentristry for all you do for your patients and the community.
Dec 3, 2020

Jul 25, 2019
I am so happy with the level of care my children receive from the staff at Merrick Pediatric Dentistry!!! My 4 year old daughter was so nervous for her visit, crying her eyes out and refusing to sit in the chair. It took us some time to make her comfortable, but not once did anyone make me feel like she was disrupting their day. The level of kindness, patience and understanding was amazing and appreciated. By the end of the visit, my daughter was happy and smiling, and I’m pretty sure our next visit will be a lot easier for her!

Dec 7, 2018
Can't recommend her enough. The amount of patience and care she has for all her patient's is amazing. The dentist can be a traumatic experience for a child but knowing that they are seeing someone who truly cares about the well being of e ach one of them is phenomenal. I only wish she saw adults as well!

My son Tyler was in for his second cleaning ever at 3 years old. The staff was so caring and patient with him. They gave him the confidence to sit in the chair all by himself and act like a big boy. He was beaming with pride. Everyone in this practice goes above and beyond and I recommend this office to all my friends and family!

After hearing rave reviews about Dr Elbaz, I brought my 3.5 yo in. The office was immaculately clean, bright and fun for the kids and staff was friendly.

Sep 19, 2017

Dr. Rania is awesome. She is so good with my kids. My son has had quiet a bit of extensive work considering his young age and she took excellent care of all of it. She is so patient and makes sure that not only you but your child as well understand and is comfortable with what is going on. If I could only give more than 5 stars!!!
Aug 25, 2017
Dr. Rania came to my son's preschool, we were new to the area so when it cane time to pick a dentist I saw good reviews and decided to take my boys to her. So glad I did. The entire staff is friendly and nice, I always judge a practice as much by their staff as the doctor. 5 stars all around. It was their first dental visits as the last few years have been crazy for us. My boys loved every second of their exams, all smiles the whole time. My little guy, who is going to be 3 in a few days, was so proud of himself staying still for his xrays! Glad to have not only found a great practice but one close to home too. I highly recommend them!
Aug 16, 2017
Everyone is so good at this practice. My daughter was so scared the first time we went and this time she was so comfortable she sat on the chair herself the whole appointment. The staff is so knowledgeable.
Aug 15, 2017

With a yummy teeth cleaning, a fun dental experience & a super parting gift - they have mastered the art of suspending reality. My kids can't wait to go back!!! This place is THE BEST! Only complaint- Dr. Rania doesn't accept adult patients! :/
Jun 2, 2017
Visiting Dr. Elbaz is always a pleasure. The staff is wonderful and so patient.
May 19, 2017
Hygienist Fran was wonderful and very patient in teaching my 3 year old about things new to her like getting X-rays. This made my daughter who was visibly nervous calmer and compliant.
Apr 22, 2017
Friendly staff. Always runs on time . My child feels very comfortable coming here. It's always super easy and a great experience .
Apr 18, 2017
My 4 year old son is an energetic boy. He is comfortable at the dentist and enjoys his visit. Everyone makes him comfortable and guides him through each step. Merrick Pediatric Dentistry is a great place to take your child.
Apr 17, 2017
Dr. Rania Elbaz and her practice are the absolute BEST!!! They are beyond patient and caring with my kids. My son had to have pretty extreme dental work done for a 5 year old and everyone who treated him was professional, yet talked him through the entire process in language he could relate to. When my 2 year old came for his first cleaning he was not happy, but the staff was very understanding and patient. We trust and respect Dr. Elbaz and everyone in her office!
Apr 7, 2017
The Elbaz' office is warm and comfortable. Everyone there helps the children feel calm about an appointment that can be scary, even for adults! The office is clean and modern. Definitely recommend!
Apr 5, 2017
We love Dr. Elbaz and her staff - they are super friendly with the kids and very professional!
Apr 4, 2017
Before the appointment, I was a bit nervous about how my 3&7 year old children would behave during their dental exam. It was my 3yo's first trip to the dentist. I was very pleased to see how helpful and patient everyone was and our visit was completed without a single tear or complaint. All of my questions were answered to my satisfaction.
Mar 28, 2017
You and your staff are the elite of dentistry!!!
Mar 17, 2017
I am always happy with Dr. Rania. Her and her staff are amazing with my kids every single time. They treat each child with kindness and patience.

Feb 21, 2017
What an amazing experience my daughter and I have every time we go . Front desk to the dentist , couldn't get any better ! Clean , friendly and state of the art equipment!
Feb 9, 2017
I cannot thank Dr. Rania enough for the care and patience she provides to my two children. Dr. Rania easily established comfort and trust with my daughter who was very anxious during her cleaning and X-rays. She even took the time to take the X-rays herself to help my daughter feel comfortable. I feel very lucky to have found such a nice dentist for my family . I know we are in the best care. Thank you again.
Feb 9, 2017
Dr Rania and her staff are very friendly , courteous, helpful and professional. Dr rania is very knowledgeable and caring. Best pediatrician dentist in Long Island!
Feb 5, 2017
very child friendly environment from the tv and tablets in the waiting room to the very creative use of decorations in each room. The fact that the kids can watch WHATEVER they want during their treatment is awesome. The staff know how to ease the children and make it a very pleasant experience. My kids look forward to going there every time!
Jan 8, 2017
Our entire experience at Merrick Pediatric Dentistry was phenomenal. Everyone was incredibly friendly. Dr. Elbaz was amazing with my son who is typically pretty shy. She knew exactly what to say to ease his anxiety. Overall fabulous experience.
Jan 5, 2017
Dr. Elbaz is amazing. My almost 2 year old daughter who is very slow to warm up and shy, shockingly let this dentist examine her with little fuss. Dr. Elbaz is very sweet and patient and we will definitely be coming back. I've already recommended her to my friend who has a child the same age as my daughter.
Jan 4, 2017
Awesome!!! My son loves going to the dentist!
Dec 30, 2016
Dr Raina, there's is nothing bad I can say about you and your staff. From phone calls from your staff to walking into your office your staff is friendly, professional and curtious. Yourself and Fran always take care of my daughter Jillian and a e both wonderful. Fran is great with kids and really knows how to make my daughter comfortable during her examination.
Dec 14, 2016
I took my 3 children yesterday to see Dr. Raniz Elbaz, and once again it was a wonderful experience for them. The staff is so nice and friendly and really put my children at ease. They actually enjoy going! Dr. Elbaz is amazing with them.
Dec 9, 2016

Dr. Elbaz's office is friendly, clean and thorough. The receptionists are attentive, the hygienists were great with the kids and explaining what they need to do to keep their teeth in the best condition. Dr. Elbaz took the time to review each child's history and current situation and develop a plan for the future. Great office, highly recommend!
Oct 5, 2016
Wonderful experience! Definitely recommend Dr Rania 5 stars!!!
Sep 30, 2016
This was our first visit to Dr. Rania Elbaz office and we were more than happy. We had been seeing a different pediatric dentist but needed to switch to someone new. My daughter was always nervous at the dentist and always required me to sit in the chair with her. We were greeted right away by the receptionist who was so nice and friendly.My daughter was nervous at first but once she met the hygienist Fran, she quickly relaxed. Fran was absolutely amazing and the office was filled with all different options of bibs and cleaning tips for the kids to pick out. She explained everything she was doing and made it exciting. Dr. Elbaz was so wonderful and spent a lot of time explaining our next steps. Couldn't believe that my daughter was so busy talking to everyone and didn't even look my way. I highly recommend Merrick Pediatric Dentistry! .
Sep 23, 2016
I felt I was pushed into doing X-rays and my little 3 year old girl. I was also pushed into doing them when she was 2, but I refused. I agreed this time and was told she has 5 cavaties and they all need to be filled using laughing gas and novacaine which I felt was insane in such a young and small child. We went for serval other opinions who told me she has three small cavaties and can be filled using a numbing gel. I will not be returning here.
Sep 21, 2016
What a great place! I brought my son for his first dental visit and was so happy with everything! The staff and Dr. Elbaz were beyond friendly and certainly knew how to deal with a scared 2 year old. Looking forward to his next visit!
Sep 9, 2016
Dr. Rania is caring, compassionate and patient. She is a welcome difference than other "chain" pediatric dentists around who treat you like a number. I drive over 30 minutes just to see her.
Sep 6, 2016
Dr Rania is wonderful and my kids ADORE her. The office is well run, appointments are timely and they do their best to accommodate you. I am the only parent who tells their kids if they don't behave they WON'T be able to do to the dentist.
Sep 6, 2016
I love it here. I have 1 kid who loves going to the dentist and another kid who is a ball of nerves. Everyone is great with both of them! I couldn't be happier.
Sep 2, 2016
Daniel always gets very nervous and anxious about going to the dentist. Dr. Rania and her whole staff always make sure he is comfortable and explains everything they are going to do so he will be more at ease. Great experience as always!
Aug 24, 2016
Had an excellent visit as usual. Dr. Rania and her whole staff are so wonderful!
Aug 24, 2016
Dr. Rania is the best!! My son has been to several dentist before us finding her. My son has ADHD non medicated...her and staff have the patience to deal with all my sons needs. We love her!! Thank you Dr Rania. I would def recommended her for any parent espically with any kind of special needs.

Aug 19, 2016
Excellent treatment. Dr Rania is patient, kind and experienced. We came in with an emergency and were treated with care and excellence.
Aug 14, 2016
Amazing! Dr. Rania and her staff were fabulous, as always. My son has sensory issues and they worked around his needs, both during the cleaning and during the actual examination. Everyone is gentle and caring, and they explain everything clearly both to my son and to me.
Aug 12, 2016
The staff was amazing. When we walked in the door, my two year old was greeted by her first name and everyone showed interest in the doll she was carrying, which immediately put her at ease.
Aug 6, 2016

Jul 10, 2016
I brought my son to Dr. Rania for to get his cavity filled. I was really nervous because I didn't think he would sit. He was scared and held his hands over his mouth. Dr. Rania and her hygienist were completely amazing. Dr. Tania made him feel so comfortable with her friendly and trusting demeanor. He was completely agreeable to each and every thing she did. I was in awe of how amazingly easy the entire process was. We had a GREAT experience! Thank you Dr. Rania!!!
Jul 2, 2016
Excellent care.. Love to refer this place to family..
Jun 24, 2016

Jun 7, 2016
I love going to the dentist! And I love my new princess toothbrush!!!
Jun 7, 2016
Ms Fran was so patient and kind with my kiddies. Once Dr. Rania came in, she too took her time, relieved any fears my kids had about what she was going to do. She thoroughly explained everything, including things to look out for. I only wish the team would treat ADULTS!
May 29, 2016
Saw Dr. Elbaz yesterday.....both her and Fran (hygienist) were great! My son actually likes going to the dentist!😀
May 25, 2016

Apr 28, 2016
Dr. Elbaz and her staff always make our daughters comfortable and their visits enjoyable!
Apr 27, 2016
I could not be happier with the care my son received. The staff was so amazing with him - patient, explained everything to him so he was calm and receptive, and took amazing care to make sure he was seen immediately as he has to take antibiotics before a cleaning (he has a serious heart condition). I recommend the doctor to everyone!
Apr 18, 2016
My 5 year old is very nervous when it comes to doctors. She loved how the staff told her how pretty she was and called her a princess. The technician sang to her and talked to her during the cleaning and it was painless.
Apr 18, 2016
AMAZING. It was my 3 year olds first time at the dentist and the staff was truly amazing.
Apr 18, 2016
My son is 5 and he loves going to Merrick Pediatric Dentristry. Dr. Elbaz and her staff have gained his trust and he feels comfortable and at ease during his visit. They also ensure to make his every visit positive one. As a parent, I am also at ease because I also see how they are very thorough and gentle with him.
Apr 17, 2016
As always, the staff and our experience at the office was excellent. We recommend your office to everyone!

Can't remember names but the girls at the front desk were great help as usual
Feb 25, 2016

Our first experience was fantastic! What a warm and loving staff! Thank you!
Jan 22, 2016
We met both Fran & Dr. Elbaz. Both were extremely professional & helpful. Both made my daughter feel at ease during the cleaning & check up. My daughter does not complain at all when she finds out she has a dentist appointment which I think is huge for a child. :)
Jan 21, 2016
Very happy with the practice. Everyone is so professional & friendly. Dr. Elbaz and the staff are fantastic with the kids. I recommend you to everyone!
Jan 18, 2016
Dr. Elbaz and her staff are wonderful!!! The doctor explained everything to my 3yo and made her feel very comfortable. I am so pleased my daughter's 1st visit to the dentist was a success!!
Jan 7, 2016
No weekend hours for dental work- aka fillings. The reason why my wife and I left the last dentist was they only did procedures during the week. My wife and I work full time and it is hard for us to get leave from work. I wish that doctor Elbaz would reconsider the above decision .
Jan 3, 2016
As always , my daughter had a wonderful experience at her appt- they understood her need for TLC and took the time with her.
Dec 29, 2015
Your office was phenomenal!! Sophia had a terrible first dental experience, and your office/staff completely turned that around. I can't thank you enough!!!
Dec 9, 2015
I took my almost 3 year old for her first dental appointment with Dr Elbaz and she had a great experience. She keeps telling me she wants to go back to the dentist! Dr Elbaz and her entire staff are extremely patient, caring and knowledgeable. They took their time to make sure my daughter felt comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr Elbaz
Dec 8, 2015
Thank you so much for being so kind and caring to our daughter at her first visit. You made the experience a great one.
Dec 1, 2015

Nov 23, 2015
I cannot say enough nice things about Dr Rania and her staff! They always make my girls feel comfortable! My girls always leave feeling excited about going to the dentist and look forward to their next visit!
Nov 20, 2015
Everyone was kind and welcoming to Shayna. Our first visit was a success.
Nov 18, 2015
Everyone was wonderful. The one thing my son asked was whether there were any cars or trucks to play with; those tend to be very comforting to him and reduce his anxiety.
Nov 12, 2015
Nop annette s luck to find dr Rania and her team...
Nov 6, 2015
Fran was great with my daughter. She made her feel so comfortable by explaining everything along the way. I was also very impressed by the detailed notes that were kept about my daughter which made the whole experience fantastic.
Nov 3, 2015
Dr.Elbaz and her staff are amazing, always make us feel comfortable and at home. Love love them!!
Oct 30, 2015
Lexi needed to be seen for an accident that happened and her tooth popping out. The front desk was amazing! Sweet, kind and very welcoming!!! I really appreciated all of their help! Dr. Rania was amazing as well! She made Lexi feel very comfortable!!! It was so nice of you to fit us in for this emergency! We will be back! Thanks again
Oct 30, 2015
This is a five star practice that children will remember for their entire lives and will want to provide for their own children. My son goes to the dentist, sits down with his sunglasses and watches the children's channel overhead while getting his cleaning like he is going to a spa on the beach. Dr. Rania and her hygienists listen to him and don't just pretend to listen. For kids fearful of dentistry the ONLY way to go is a pediatric dentist. It is much less intimidating for them.
Oct 29, 2015
The women at the front desk were friendly and very nice. Dr. Elbaz was fantastic with my son who was nervous about the extractions.

Everyone went above and beyond expectations. As usual, it was an extremely pleasant experience! The entire team was very patient and understanding with my daughter, who is a very nervous patient. The fact that she was able to get through the entire appointment with smiles and no tears is a testament to how amazing Dr Elbaz and Her team is with children, especially those with special needs. The clinical experience of the team is wonderful as well, and Dr Elbaz goes to great lengths to explain everything to the patient and parents. We love Merrick Pediatric Dentistry!
Sep 3, 2015
The Dr. was so good I think most new parents should take their kids at an early age - it's not as scary as you would think!
Aug 28, 2015
My kids always leave happy!

What a pleasure! Will let all my friends know how wonderful your office is!
Aug 6, 2015
July 14th was my first time at the office & I have to say I was very pleased. The office personnel were very friendly & helpful. Fran was great with my daughter who is 5 y/o. My daughter was a little nervous at 1st but was at ease within minutes. Dr. Elbaz took time to go over things, I did not feel rushed at all & felt she actually took an interest in my daughter. I highly recommend them.
Jul 15, 2015
Cannot say enough good things about your office! My girls would come everyday if they could!
Jul 8, 2015
The office is adorable, and my daughter loved the waiting room. The entire staff was wonderful. Wasn't thrilled to wait 35 minutes to be seen, but after I witnessed how anxious my daughter got, and how kind and patient the hygienist and dentist were I can understand why it might get backed up.
Jul 7, 2015
Great place, great service , great people. My kids loved every visit
Jul 4, 2015
Everyone (from Dr. Rania Elbaz to the front office staff and assistants) is amazing with kids. They all have this gentle and nurturing approach to kids. Thank you for making my son so comfortable. We are excited for our future visits!
Jul 1, 2015
Your staff is friendly, courteous & extremely accommodating. And Dr. Elbaz is excellent...sweet, caring & very competent! Keep up the good work!

My children were actually excited to go the dentist! I think that says a lot for this practice.
Jun 5, 2015
This was our daughter's first trip to the dentist and it was a wonderful experience for her. She keeps talking about her shiny teeth and how much fun she had. We loved Dr. Rania and her staff!
May 18, 2015
Even though I had a meltdown in the chair, I'm glad my teeth are ok. I will practice not sucking my thumb. xoxo Maeve
May 18, 2015
You and Fran made my first ever dentist visit the best!!! Mom was so happy that I didn't cry.

Apr 20, 2015
I was very pleased with my daughters first dentist visit. She had a very positive experience and I was so happy that she had such a good time that she didn't want to leave. (She is only 14 months old, so I was prepared for screaming.)
Apr 16, 2015

The entire experience was great!!! Chase felt at ease and is excited to go back. Being able to play with ipad and watching his shows in waiting area calmed Chase a great deal too. The whole set up is great!!! Thank you!
Mar 21, 2015
Both of my children were treated extremely well. Everyone was friendly and comforting, especially to my son who has a gag reflex and often has difficulty tolerating cleanings. We are so happy with our new dental office!
Mar 17, 2015
Dr. Elbaz and her staff are absolutely the best. My son can't stop talking about them and loves to go there.
Mar 12, 2015
I appreciate that he wasn't forced to take X-rays. He was compliant but he has a small mouth and has a sensitive gag reflex making it too difficult for him to hold the bite wing in place.
Mar 11, 2015
The entire staff was welcoming and friendly. They made us feel at home. I like that I can go in and out of the exam room as needed. My husband loved the office and wants to renovate his!! Lol!!
Mar 11, 2015
Everything ws perfect... All of u guys made my daughter very comfortable.. Excellent service!!! Thankyou

Mar 5, 2015
Everyone at Dr. Elbaz's office is welcoming, professional, and patient.
Mar 5, 2015
We always have such a positive experience when we see Dr. Rania, Fran and all of the staff. I am amazed at the interaction and the careful attention everyone pays to my daughters to make them feel comfortable. I never thought I'd say they love going to the dentist, but they do! I was super nervous when Megan had to have her tooth extracted, but she was smiling throughout the whole process and the way she was talked through it was just amazing. I thank Dr. Rania and her amazing staff for being so compassionate and skilled at what you all do! :)
Mar 5, 2015
Aria and I loved her first trip to the dentist! Everybody made us feel beyond comfortable. It was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist office. Keep up the good work!
Feb 27, 2015
I was extremely impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of all personnel, including the person at check-in, the dental hygienist, and Dr. Elbaz herself. My daughter had a wonderful first visit to the dentist and we left with very good advice.
Feb 26, 2015
my son was a very difficult patient.....thank you for being so kind.

Feb 19, 2015
I wouldn't change a thing. You guys are the best!!!
Feb 17, 2015
Aside from the wait, which was explained to me, it was a wonderful first experience for my daughter at the dentist. Everyone was sweet towards her, she loved the decor and her "prize" at the end of the visit was a big hit.
Feb 8, 2015
Every single person from the receptionists , the hygienist and the doctor herself were absolutely charming , friendly and amazing !! My kids actually enjoyed their visit !!
Feb 5, 2015
Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Dr. Rania was friendly and gentle. She explained everything she was doing to myself and my 2 year old son throughout the entire exam. She took the time afterwards to speak to me and answer all of my questions. One of the nurses, Angie, Spent time playing with my son after his exam so I could speak with the doctor. I thought that was awesome. She could have just said "hey lady take your kid" but she played with him and seemed like she was enjoying herself. Everyone made my sons first visit to the dentist so fun and easy. I expected him to be afraid and upset, but he loved it and even asked if he could go to the dentist the next day. I can't wait for his six month check up. I never thought I'd say that about the dentist. LOL.
Jan 23, 2015
Dr. Elbaz had a way with children! She really made Isabella as comfortable as possible! My girls just love her!
Jan 23, 2015
It's always a pleasure to visit Dr. Elbaz and her team!

Dr. Rania is amazing!! We love the way she works calmly with both my kids and makes them comfortable. The entire staff is not only "kid-friendly," but also very "kid-focused."
Jan 20, 2015
We love Dr. Rania. I am probably the only parent in America who tells my kids that if they don't behave, they the CAN'T go to the dentist!
Jan 20, 2015
I am thankful for the front desk employee who entertained my daughter as I filled out paperwork. It was also nice to be the only ones there when we walked in so that time could be devoted to her.
Jan 18, 2015
Angie was wonderful and patient. She really helped calm Gianna.
Jan 17, 2015
Good dentist, too many reminders, many texts and emails.
Jan 14, 2015
My girls (almost 7 and 4 years old) were EXCITED to go back to Dr. Elbaz for their second appointments. And when it was over they said, "We love the dentist!" I mean, come on - what more can I say? And the office is friendly, efficient, and immaculate. Thanks, Dr. Elbaz and crew!
Dec 30, 2014
Wonderful staff and environment! So glad I finally found the perfect pediatric dentist for my child!!!

Don't change anything! Everyone was so nice & made my son feel very comfortable. I'm so happy we made the switch to come to you.

Nov 6, 2014
Everyone was soooo nice. EVERYONE At the last minute I had to bring my 4yr old along for my 7yr olds appt. The staff went above and beyond. They were able to keep an eye on her up front while I spent time with my very nervous son as he got his first cavity filled. Amazing office. Will never go anywhere else again. Thank you
Oct 16, 2014
Everyone is always so friendly and it makes my daughter and I feel at ease, when my daughter is usually a very nervous child when going to the dentist, or any kind of doctor! Thank you Dr. Elbaz and staff for a great experience and the care you provide for your patients!
Oct 16, 2014
Best possible experience for my son! They made a possible scary experience into an easy one. The staff and Dr.Elbaz were gentle and kind.
Oct 15, 2014
I didn't like one part that took my tooth out. But, I guess it had to go.
Oct 10, 2014
Our experience Is always great! My son is not afraid to go to the dentist and feels comfortable when he is there by Dr. Rania and her staff. He looks forward to the prize at the end of his visit!

We were blown away at what an amazing experience it was for my daughters first time at the Dentist. From the minute we walked to to the minute we walked out!

So glad we switched to Merrick Pediatric Dentistry. great experience!
Sep 7, 2014
This was my son's first visit to the Dentist and he absolutely loved it. Before we left he said when are we coming back again. The staff and dentists made it so comfortable and fun by making it entertaining for my son. They explained everything they were doing in a kid friendly way so that my son was not scared.. It certainly was the friendliest visit I ever had to any type of doctor/dentist visit in my life. I would recommend this office and dentist to anyone
Sep 7, 2014
He's so excited to go back to get his cavity filled!
Sep 4, 2014
Awesome!! My kids can't stop talking about the dentist :)
Sep 4, 2014

Sep 4, 2014
Excellent care! My kids loved it here and are actually looking forward to going back! Fran was patient and took her time explaining everything to my kids. My kids came home and we're talking about how nice she was!! Thank you!!!

Aug 8, 2014
Super friendly! Great office for kids!
Aug 7, 2014
Rania Elbaz is an extremely wonderful, patient, kind dentist. She handled my child with the utmost respect and care. However, my complaint is with the staff. The first visit I was told that they accepted my insurance. After the examination I was sent a bill. When I explained that I wouldn't have gone there if I knew I wasn't covered they courteously wiped it out. When I was sent a reminder I called to set up an appointment but I did ask once again about the coverage siting that I had a problem the last time. The person on the phone told me that I should be fine it's in the records. Once again we had a wonderful examination and I got the phone call again. This time they are charging me and I will have to pay. I wish Rania Elbaz participated in our plan and I think the staff should be more careful when assuming that someone is covered.
Aug 3, 2014
Office was very clean and the people are extremely friendly! My son has been to 3 different Dentists and he says this is the BEST!
Jul 24, 2014
A completely child friendly atmosphere! Everyone is wonderful with the children,as well as the parents. Without a doubt the best place to bring your children!
Jul 23, 2014
Great experience. My 5 year old had his first loose tooth with the adult tooth already grown in behind it. He had to have his tooth extracted and he didn't even realize it was happening. Great doctor and staff. He left smiling and got ice cream for dinner. Doctors orders :)
Jul 16, 2014
I really love this office. They are so great with my anxiety ridden kids!
Jul 16, 2014
Excellent !! Best place ever. Love the dr and staff...
Jul 16, 2014
I can't even begin to adequately describe the positive experience my daughter and I had. She had extreme anxiety about being at the dentist and you guys cured her!! She felt no pain and even said being there was fun. Can you imagine?!?! Thank you so much for helping her get over her fears and loving the dentist!!!!
Jul 3, 2014
The entire staff was sweet, knowledge, and calming. My daughter had a negative experience at another practice and after our trip to MPD she came out all smiles. So thankful for them!!!
Jun 18, 2014
Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. clean professional environment.

This is a new dentist for my son the staff and Doctor was so kind and pleasant to myself and my son. He had a long procedure done and they treated him with such respect and kindness. I would definitely recommend this dentist office.
May 16, 2014
The Doctor and staff were very nice and welcoming ti myself and my son.
May 15, 2014
The appointment time was adhered to. There was absolutely no wait and the reception staff was extremely familiar and interactive with my child. The dentist immediately connected with my son and regained his recognition of office and purpose of visit. The outcome for visit which was insertion of Pedi bites was met. Although, my son was quite resistant to the invasion of his mouth, the fit and look is fabulous for a 3 year old. During the procedure the staff was quite understanding of the crying and fidgeting and accommodated with plenty of stickers, toys and Kleenex. Overall, the experience was successful.
May 15, 2014
Wonderful experience! My three year old son usually is frightened by any medical office visit but the Doctor and staff were amazing with him. He was at ease the entire visit and actually enjoyed himself.
May 12, 2014
Always friendly. Never a long wait. My son loves it here!!!
May 9, 2014
I have a 3 year old and yesterday was my first appointment, I was concerned because I myself s nervous when I go to dentist.

May 8, 2014

Mar 27, 2014
what a GREAT place! Wish they took adults! :) from the time my child goes in to the time they leave it is such a pleasant experience. My child had a lot of dental work that took several visits and each and every visit my child was happy to go and be there. It was almost like home for him. That says a lot about the atmosphere they create for a child! I'm happy I found them.
Mar 25, 2014
The entire staff are so welcoming to any question and very informative. New office space is totally rad...kawabonga
Mar 19, 2014
This is the most professional, patient and caring staff I have ever experience. Best pediatric dentist ever!!
Mar 11, 2014
I loved this office and the time and effort the owner obviously put into making it as kid friendly as possible. My 18 month old daughter and I did not want to leave. I could not wait to tell all my friends and family about our lovely visit. Looking forward to our next visit!
Mar 2, 2014
Very pleasant and patience people at this office! Perfect first time experience for both of my boys!! Thank you!!
Mar 2, 2014
Dr Rania has always been a very caring and patient doctor. That's why we travel 45 minutes each way for her to take care of our family. We wouldn't want anyone else.
Mar 2, 2014
We loved it. Kids enjoyed themselves in the waiting room and Dr. Elbaz was very thorough, patient, not condescending (I've experienced that previously) and communicative. My 23 mth old didn't cry and my 5 yr old thought the iPad games in the waiting room were the best. Friendly staff. Clean, cheerful environment.
Mar 1, 2014
Dr. Raina and staff are awesome. Always pleasant and professional. My son loves going. They make it an enjoyable and fun experience and for a toddler that means a lot. Thank you guys for being so great!
Feb 28, 2014
I could not be any happier with a dental office for my kids! Everyone is so nice and so patient. My daughter went in to have a cavity filled and she did so amazingly well but it was all because of Dr. Rania and how she treated her. She didn't stop talking to my daughter for one second. She kept her interested, occupied and entertained the whole time. This is the first time my daughter went to the dentist without a tear being shed! The entire staff is very personable and professional. I left the first appointment, knowing how much it would cost me to have the cavity filled. No hidden charges.
Feb 25, 2014
Another wonderful visit to the dentist ! The office staff & the doctor reassured my daughters visit would be a happy one , & it was ! The whole staff goes above & beyond to make everyone comfy, especially the parent.
Feb 25, 2014

Feb 16, 2014
Excellent service! I had the wrong time in my calendar and they accommodated me anyway. Dr. Elbaz is great with my two children as well. They had great experiences.
Feb 16, 2014
The best pediatric dentist ever! If your child is anxious at your family practice dentist, run, don't walk to Dr. Rania. Every child feels great, the office is great and you can trust her judgement completely.
Feb 13, 2014
Dr. Rania and all of the staff at Merrick Pediatric Dental are wonderful! They were so good with my daughter. Made her feel very comfortable and explained everything to her before they did it to ease her anxiety. I'm so glad our family dentist referred Dr. Rania to us!
Feb 13, 2014
Dr. Elbaz and her staff were very warm and attentive to my daughter during her first time at a dentist office. I look forward to many visits to come.
Feb 9, 2014
Asalways my daughter had an amazing experience and sadly enough she keeps asking to go back

Jan 14, 2014
I am amazed that Dr. Rania got my 6 year old daughter to sit for about an hour for a root canal and other dental work. After that, my daughter arrived home smiling, ready to show off her new SPARKLING princess smile! Wow! My daughter is usually anxious about lots of things but she completely trusts Dr. Rania. You can't beat that!
Jan 11, 2014
I couldn't be happier w/ Dr. Rania Elbaz & her wonderful staff ! After finding them, & needing my daughter to be seen ASAP, they took my info & saw her w/in the hour. They were friendly, nice & most importantly made my daughter feel very comfortable. Dr. Elbaz explained everything to me & I felt as ease. We go back next week, & my daughter can't wait !
Jan 8, 2014
We love everyone who works there. Super-friendly and great with kids! And the new office is spacious, the waiting room is fun for kids (2 iPads mounted on the wall at kid level, for one), and the location is still easy to get to.
Jan 6, 2014

Nov 16, 2013
Dr. Elbaz and the entire staff are incredibly warm and friendly! They immediately made my daughter comfortable and she now begs to go the dentist all the time. It's not every day you hear a 4 year old bragging to her friends that she has the best dentist in the world. Thank you for being so wonderful!
Nov 15, 2013
My daughter needed to have a tooth pulled and Dr. Elbaz and her staff are professional, comforting and responsive to patient needs. Excellent experience.

My daughter had a great experience at Merrick Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Elbaz and her staff was so warm and friendly and put my daughter, who has a lot of anxiety when going to the dentist, at ease. It's comforting to know my daughter's oral hygiene is in such good and caring hands. It is also nice to know that you will be seen by Dr Elbaz every time you have an appointment as opposed to a practice with more than 1 dentist sharing an office. I don't think my daughter will be afraid to go for her check ups anymore! Thank you, Dr. Elbaz!

Dr. Elbaz and her staff are my daughter's first and only experience seeing a dentist...and I am so happy we found them. She and her entire staff make my daughter feel so welcome and comfortable...I will not hesitate to start bringing my youngest daughter also once she hits 2!!

Dr. Rania Elbaz is an amazing dentist and she is so wonderful with my son. She explains everything she does first before she does it, so that he is not scared or surprised by anything. She is very sweet and patient with kids. I appreciate how she communicates to me about my son's health, things to expect and what to watch out for. I never leave the office unsure of what to do for my son or how to take care of his oral health. My son loves that after every visit he gets to pick a prize from the toy box and gets a sticker. Her staff is also incredible. From her office manager to the assistant, everyone is polite and professional and they really go out of their way to make you and your child feel comfortable. My son came home and was so excited to tell his dad how his visit went. He said "look I went to the dentist and I wasn't scared. I got a toy and I cleaned my teeth with watermelon." I wish I had those type of experiences with the dentist when I was younger. I really can't say enough about Dr. Rania Elbaz.

I was amazed with how wonderful everyone in the office was. Despite my son's crying because he just didn't like being numb, I love how much everyone cared for him.

Dr. Rania Elbaz was able to calm down my anxious 6 year old daughter to fill a cavity. I was amazed. The next day my daughter asked when she can go back to see Dr. Rania again!

Dr. Elbaz can't be anymore patient with her patients! She explains everything to my daughter before she does anything and allows her to feel the tools which lessens the anxiety. We love her!

My son was very nervous at his adult family provider dentist. I looked around and found Dr. Rania's site. Frim the minute we put him under her care, he relaxed and allowed the hygenist to work on him. Dr. Rania is highly knowledgeble and competent. My son now looks forward to going to the dentist.

This was the first time my daughter ever had to get cavities filled and the experience was wonderful. She was nervous going in, but when she left she said "That was fun!".

Our first visit with this doctor, our first visit to the dentist ever with my three year old. She was extremely patient and informative through out the entire process, which was new to all of us. My favorite part of the visit was when the doctor actually sat at the kids table with my son (the patient) and introduced herself and played for a few moments before bringing him into the exam room.
