I went to Washington Oral Surgery to have my wisdom teeth removed. The surgery went smoothly and was painless. Dr. Merlo was knowledgeable and patient with me throughout the process. His assistant, Zoila, was also wonderful. She provided great after-care instructions and was super kind throughout the process as well. I would recommend Washington Oral Surgery to anyone without reservation.
Four wisdom teeth extraction and I am 6 days post-op and seems to have gone well, some normal pain/swelling. Low stars due to rude doctor and staff. If you can go elsewhere you should, if not, like me due to insurance, then it's fine. But there must be other offices that do a good job on your teeth and have professional bed side manor. I was upset with their attitude but somehow felt better to read reviews (here and elsewhere) that had the same experience!
Dr. Merlo and his staff were very professional and courteous during my recent visit for an extraction. The treatment was surprisingly smooth with very little discomfort before and after the procedure. Dr. Merlo provided clear answers to my questions and a helpful proposal for a follow-up process.
Doctors like this should not practice it’s not fair that we have to risk our lives and get surgery from someone who is just doing it for the money. I will make it my goal to expose doctors like this. Do not!! Send your loved ones here

Impatient, lacks compassion. Front office could not find my paperwork and before I could complete a new packet, the doctor called us back to the office. He insisted that we provide "paperwork" as the office assistants just looked confused and somewhat scared. He immediately threw up his hands and said, "this consult is over"-- talking about weird?! Seriously, Dr. Merlo violated so many medical codes of conduct that patients should be very careful as to how they engage with such a temperamental physician. His emotional state ... read more
I appreciate my initial surgical consult. I was seen pretty quickly after I checked in and Dr. Merlo immediately asked me several questions, he reviewed my scans and x-rays, and we scheduled the surgery to remove 4 wisdom teeth promptly. I like and prefer a no nonsense doctor. I am pleased.
I had very high expectations for this doctor as I have been seeing my dentist for several years and I trust his judgement for referrals. I went early for the appointment (wisdom tooth removal consultation)and I was called in to an exam room at my appointment time which i appreciated. Sad part was that this doctor spent exactly 2 minutes with me. Being in medical school, I believe bedside manner is very important. Yes it is a routine procedure but not even introducing yourself is a BIG problem.
Bad dentist with many bad reviews! He said if you have high blood pressure, you will not live long without taking a drug, that most doctors push, and die of kidney failure! Was told similar lie by a regular doctor years ago! Merlo refused to pull my tooth! His assistants in the back are as rude and nasty as he is. The room looked unsanitary and he pulled out a couple of instruments from his pocket and had no gloves on. He had just been working on another patient replacing a bone in gum.
Business response:
This patient has dangerously high blood pressure and refuses treatment. It is so high , I recommended immediate hospitalization! Performing any procedure without first controlling this would be malpractice and life threatening. I had advised him of this in past as well.
