I love visiting Dr. Raguram’s office! She does great work and is very kind. When you speak with her, she is actively listening to your concerns. That matter; especially in today’s world where many doctors rush you and don’t want to hear your concerns. her staff is so personable as well! I am not the biggest fan or doctors but Merritt Family Dental has such a calming and peaceful atmosphere that I am not afraid when undergoing procedures.
