First three by Dental.me Score: Emily Schroeder Rutsis, FREDERICK H. WAGGENER DDS PA and Dania Montejo. Start from the service list you need, then call to ask about insurance and new patients.

To find a dentist in Merritt Island, Florida, start with the 42 listings Dental.me holds there. Twenty-two carry a Google rating, and those 22 average 4.42 stars as a plain mean, each rated office counted once, and 4.39 weighted by reviews, across 3,075 reviews. Of the other 20 listings, four are matched to a Google profile showing no reviews and 16 have no Google match.

All 42 rows come from the national provider registry (NPPES). A registry listing gives a provider’s name and the address filed with the registry, and it does not show that patients are seen there. Dental.me holds a phone number for all 42, which come to 37 distinct phones, and posted hours for 23. The median rating is 4.5 and the median review count 24; six of the 22 rated offices hold 100 reviews or more, and ten rest on fewer than 20. A Google rating does not measure clinical quality.

Dental.me holds no review text, no review dates, no appointment-availability data and no insurance data, so it cannot say how recent a rating is or what reviewers wrote; the dates are on each office’s Google profile.

The 3,075 reviews are concentrated. Jere Gillan (4.1) holds 1,025 of them (33%), and the six largest records hold 2,680 (87%); the other 16 rated offices hold 395. Emily Schroeder Rutsis, first by Dental.me Score, holds a 5.0 on 440. A count is a sample size, not a measure of care.

How Merritt Island’s 22 ratings spread

The chart below sorts the 22 rated offices into four bands: eight at 4.8 or above, with 819 reviews; six between 4.5 and 4.79, with 560; five between 4.0 and 4.49, with 1,651; and three below 4.0, with 45: DUONGVANNAK KEO, DMD (3.9 on 14), HARDIK PATEL DDS PA (3.4 on five) and SCOTT G MILO DMD PA (2.5 on 26). The 4.0 to 4.49 band holds the most reviews, 1,651, because the two largest records, Jere Gillan’s and COAST DENTAL P.A.’s, sit in it.

Twenty listings carry no Google rating, and Dental.me does not record why, so an unrated listing tells you nothing either way about the office. Every listing, rated or not, is on the Merritt Island dentist directory. The plain mean, 4.42, sits below the median, 4.5, and above the weighted average, 4.39. Two cutoffs cost different things here. A cutoff at 4.8 keeps eight offices and removes 2,256 reviews (73%), among them the three largest records and Larry Nissen (4.7 on 44), sixth by Score. A cutoff at 100 reviews keeps six offices and removes 395 reviews (13%), but it drops 16 offices, among them Dania Montejo, Alexis Herbeck and CDPG, P.L., third to fifth by Score. Neither cutoff measures care.

Read the name, the address and the phone together. Scott Milo (4.4 on 126), 14th by Score, and SCOTT G MILO DMD PA (2.5 on 26), 22nd and last of the rated offices, give the same phone, (321) 453-2450, the same street address, 2405 N Courtenay Pkwy #105, and the same host, brevardpediatricdental.com. They are two rows with two ratings, and nobody has confirmed how they relate.

The top six by Dental.me Score

The Dental.me Score is built mainly from a practice’s Google rating and the depth of reviews behind it, with a small lift for an office that verifies its listing, so it rests on the same Google data and does not measure clinical quality. The six it puts first are not the most-reviewed offices: Jere Gillan (4.1 on 1,025), 16th by Score, COAST DENTAL P.A. (4.0 on 492), 17th, and JOHN C BEATY DDS, FAMILY DENTISTRY (4.5 on 467), ninth, each hold more reviews than any of the six.

• Emily Schroeder Rutsis leads the score: a 5.0 across 440 reviews, the most reviews of any office rated 4.8 or higher here.
• Frederick H. Waggener DDS PA holds a 5.0 over 130 reviews.
• Dania Montejo (4.8, 93 reviews) and Alexis Herbeck (5.0, 65 reviews) are third and fourth by score.
• Cdpg, P.L. (4.8, 64 reviews) and Larry Nissen (4.7, 44 reviews) are fifth and sixth by score.

The six rest on 44 to 440 reviews. A larger count is a larger sample of reviewers, not a measure of the care behind it, and Dental.me holds no review dates, so it cannot say how recent any rating is. Four of the six, FREDERICK H. WAGGENER DDS PA, Dania Montejo, Alexis Herbeck and CDPG, P.L., are on no service list (see the lists below). The Merritt Island hub lists all 42 over three pages, with no sort control. It opens with four cards marked Featured, out of Score order, and after those it follows the Dental.me Score. The four Featured cards are DUONGVANNAK KEO, DMD (20th by Score), HIBISCUS DENTAL and Charles Schultz (18th and 19th, on the same Score) and COAST DENTAL P.A. (17th). A paid Featured placement does not change a practice’s Score, but it does change what you see first.

Service lists in Merritt Island

Dental.me sorts Merritt Island practices onto 12 service lists, from what each office lists. Dental implants is the longest, with 11 rows, then cosmetic dentists and teeth whitening with nine each, which hold the same nine rows. Ten rated offices, with 434 reviews (14%), are on no list, among them FREDERICK H. WAGGENER DDS PA, Dania Montejo, Alexis Herbeck and CDPG, P.L., second to fifth by Score, and ANTHONY J. SIDOR, D.D.S., P.A. (5.0 on 22), seventh. COAST DENTAL P.A. and Jere Gillan are on nine lists each, and JOHN C BEATY DDS, FAMILY DENTISTRY and Scott Milo on eight; Emily Schroeder Rutsis, first by Score, is on two. So read the city directory as well as the list for your service. A place on a list shows what an office lists, not how often it does that work, so ask whether the office does your procedure itself.

The lists: dental implants 11, cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening 9 each, periodontists 7, the orthodontist list 7 and Invisalign the same 7, pediatric dentists 6, dentures 6, oral surgeons 5, and endodontists and prosthodontists 2 each. The two endodontist rows are Jere Gillan and JOHN C BEATY DDS, FAMILY DENTISTRY, and both prosthodontist rows, FLORIDA PROSTHODONTICS PA and John Panzek, have no Google match. Three of the seven orthodontist rows carry no rating: one matched to a profile with no reviews and two with no match. The two Milo rows are on the pediatric, orthodontist and oral surgeon lists. Melbourne’s endodontist list holds eight rows and its oral surgeon list 14.

Six rows are on the emergency dentists list, all of them rated, among them HIBISCUS DENTAL and Charles Schultz (4.0 on four each). An emergency list entry is not a promise of after-hours care; Dental.me holds no availability data, so ask each office how soon it can see you.

Twenty-one of the 42 listings have a website URL on file, 18 of them rated offices. The four rated offices with none are Larry Nissen (4.7 on 44), Mark Moffitt and Robert Matthews (4.5 on eight each) and HARDIK PATEL DDS PA (3.4 on five). No URL on file means only that Dental.me does not hold one, and Dental.me did not open the sites it holds, so a URL on file says nothing about hours, booking, services or insurance. Ask the office. The ranking methodology sets out how the Dental.me Score is built.

Read the host as well as the name. The URL on file for Jere Gillan is on aspendental.com, the one for COAST DENTAL P.A. on coastdental.com and the one for GENTLE CARE DENTISTRY on hahndentalgroup.com, and both Milo rows give brevardpediatricdental.com. Nobody has confirmed how a listing relates to its URL, so ask the office who would treat you.

Shared addresses and phones among Merritt Island dentists

Read the address and the phone. The 42 listings give 37 phone numbers. Jere Gillan (4.1 on 1,025), at 800 E Merritt Island Cswy, shares (321) 453-8882 with a CORNERSTONE DENTISTRY HOLDINGS PLLC row with no Google match, and two more rows with no match, CORNERSTONE DENTISTRY and Daven Patel, give the same street address. DUONGVANNAK KEO, DMD (3.9 on 14) shares (321) 452-6000 and 295 S Plumosa St with a YACIEL F FERRERA DMD PLLC row with no match.

HARDIK PATEL DDS PA (3.4 on five) and Charles Schultz (4.0 on four) share (321) 452-4988 and 1127 N Courtenay Pkwy. Dania Montejo (4.8 on 93) and N.RAO KOPURI, BDS.,MS.,PA., matched to a Google profile with no reviews, both give 780 E Merritt Island Cswy Suite 6C, on different phones, and COAST DENTAL P.A. shares 229 Crockett Blvd with an Ali Correa row with no match. The two Milo rows are described above.

Nobody has confirmed how these listings relate, and one street address can hold separate offices, so call before you count them as separate choices.

Directories near Merritt Island

Neighbouring directories list their own offices: Melbourne (92 practices, 61 rated), Palm Bay (31, 18 rated), Rockledge (24, 12 rated), Titusville (24, 16 rated), Indian Harbour Beach (12, 9 rated), West Melbourne (11, 7 rated), Cocoa Beach (10, 7 rated), Viera (9, 4 rated), Cocoa (8, 4 rated), Satellite Beach (6, 4 rated), Cape Canaveral (1, rated) and Port St. John (1, rated). Dental.me has no practices on file under Mims or Sharpes. A practice sits in the directory of the town on its record, which says nothing about its distance from your address, and Dental.me holds no drive-time data. Dental.me does not publish prices, and our national guide to dental costs gives no price ranges either; it lists what a quote depends on (the procedure, exam findings, insurance and materials), so ask each office for a written, itemized estimate.

How to work through the Merritt Island directory

The star figure on this page is each practice’s Google rating, which Dental.me does not set, and the table above follows the Dental.me Score. Start on the Merritt Island dentist directory from the service you need and read every row on that list, rated or not, and the ten rated offices that are on no list. Read each count as a sample size, read the address and the phone, then call and ask whether the office takes new patients, whether it is in your plan’s network, how soon it can see you and who would treat you. Dental.me holds no availability, new-patient or insurance data, and posted hours for 23 of the 42 rows.

Dental.me organizes dental directory data so patients can compare offices with confidence. Use each practice profile and its available website, map, and phone details for current appointment, payment, and care decisions.
