Creatures Great and Small We love all animals a lot! Dogs, cats, frogs, no creature is left out. Except for bugs, worms, spiders, and pretty much anything with more than four legs, or that is slimy or that can sting you. So, to summarize, we love furry cute animals that are found following Disney princesses around, except for the frogs (ask us about the frogs, and why they make the list).
Food The most excited you will see us is when we have Mexican food for lunch or the seasonal Thanksgiving sandwich from Tuckers. If you havent tasted the thanksgiving sandwich, it is most likely our fault because we eat almost all their limited supply, and we are sorry, but only a little sorry, because those sandwiches are delicious.
For a sweet treat we cannot resist fruit, the covered in chocolate variety. We also love cookies and any small sized treat, because they are just so cute, we cant stand it, and we must eat them; after commenting about how cute each one is, of course.
Hobbies Our favorite past-time is scaring each other and seeing who gets the best scare and loudest scream. We think of it as a team building activity, it has provided hours of fun, and tons of laughs. It will never get old.
Hobbies (continued) We also enjoy more standard hobbies such as, kayaking/canoeing, hitting the gym (ask us how many pull-ups we can do), crossword puzzles, word games, trivia, walking/hiking, camping (ask us where our favorite spots are) and continual home projects (tips, tricks, and advice welcome). One of us is writing a novel; we love when we get new pages to read. One of us is in a competition with ourselves seeing how long it will take to put their Christmas tree away, so far, the record is June. Every single one of us are maxing out our moments with friends, family and loved ones after not seeing many of them for a long while, we have learned to not let to much time pass without a visit.
Jokes The loudest sound heard around the office is laughter. We all think we are hilarious. We love to tease each other whenever the opportunity presents. The person we tease most is Dr. Morris, being one of the only males in the office he sets himself up as an easy target and is a good sport about it. No need to feel sad for him though because he gives it right back and gets some good ones in himself (dont tell him though, we dont want him to know we think he is funny). The longest running joke is the one about Dr. Morris New Balances (ask us about it, we would love to let you in on it).
Challenges Our motto is if youre not growing your dying and we encourage each other try new things create goals and help each other where we can in achieving them. Each of us have different strengths, interests, and knowledge that we love to share. We are constantly asking each other how we can be better versions of ourselves and set up challenges to help us learn new things. That stated, we are all very competitive and enjoy mixing our days up with a bit of nonsense. Some of us will tell you they are not competitive, but dont believe them, they want you to think that so they can trick you and win. Our past challenges include, who can eat a fruit-by-the-foot the fastest without using your arms, dont say just when speaking; there was no winners for this one only a not the worst loser, who has the best dance moves, and best scarer (ask us about the winners. All challenge suggestions are welcomed and encouraged). All our challenges contribute to our personal growth goals, how else would we know that we have what it takes to eat without our arms?
Our Sweeping Declaration We will never find a temperature compromise between the business team (always cold) and the clinical team (always warm), it does not exist. The business team will continue each year to think creatively about how to be warmer. So far, the best ideas have been thermals and hothand warmers. No need to feel sorry for us, this dilemma and its solutions have been a source of comedy and calamity around the office, and no one has lost any toes (yet).

Dr. Morris and all the great staff at Merrimack Smiles are the best at what they do. I leave the office relaxed because they are professional, friendly and attentive from arrival to departure. I have absolute trust in all aspects of their treatment planning and excellent care.

Can't say enough about how wonderful Merrimack Smiles is for my family! We've been with them for a very long time, yet when our toddler started going in, I was nervous for how'd she be (she's extremely stubborn!!), but the staff did an amazing job calming her and helping her through her multiple visits. They are so kind, thoughtful and patient!!

I have a little bit of periodontal disease and I had to have a deep clean. Dr Morris was great at explaining things to me and Monica was great at doing my deep cleans that I needed to improve my pockets. They are both so knowledgeable and appreciate all the hints they gave me to improve the health of my mouth.

I had been using Merrimack Smiles, but I have issues about how they handle their insurance billing. They do not inform the patient of what the insurance will cover versus what is out of pocket prior to the procedure. They just tell you how much it will be. I prefer a more transparent approach to informing the patient.

Amazing environment and exceptionally informative and professional staff. Dr. Morris and his team are great at explaining not only how they plan to deal with an issue but what causes it in the first place and explain the procedure to correct it. I've heard of a lot of Dentist offices that's model is scaring you into spending more money but it was obvious from the start that Dr. Morris and the rest of the staff are looking out for you and are not going to take advantage of you. Overall would recommend to anyone looking for a great, honest, and kind experience!

One of the first appointments in years that did not end with a panic attack! Everyone there is so understanding of the things that can make appointments stressful. Will definitely return for my future cleanings.

Met with my Dental Health Team for my 6 month hygiene appointment. . These remarkable professionals have guided me in a oral care routine that has me interested in my health and is resulting in ongoing positive results. Every team member is welcoming. This is the best Dental Practice in my experience.

The staff at Merrimack Smiles is incredibly kind and very helpful. I can't say enough great things about them! I'm always nervous at the dentist but I was able to relax while I was there. They explain everything before they do it and provide you with all your options to give you the freedom to choose what is best for you. I have to get all 4 wisdom teeth extracted and they even called the surgeon for me to schedule the consultation. Already looking forward to my next cleaning!
