Best experience I’ve had with a dentist – they were prompt, kind, and went above and beyond.
All the folks at Deerhaven Family Dentistry have been so kind, gentle and helpful over the years, I cannot express my gratitude enough, but thank you, so much!
I have been a patient of Deerhaven for more than two years and have yet to have a single unpleasant experience. All of the work I have had done from cleaning to caps has been top notch, and everyone from the receptionist to the dentist have been professional and caring.
Love this place! Even with having to travel to come back we stay on. They are so good that the doc even called to check on my kids this evening which was amazing! And, the kids are never traumatized! They do not mind coming to the dentist!
Recently I had some issues that required an appointment asap. They fit me in 2 times in one week and both times were very,very busy. In spite of the added burden of my appointments, Dr. Niergarth and the entire staff were extremely …
Technician was very attentive to my comfort and was very efficient. She was completed no time. Thanks.
Excellent care in a state of the art office.
Great office! Always happy to help. Confident they are following all guidelines to keep office clean and safe from Covid. Love being treated by this group of professionals!
Great staff! They were very attentive and made me feel at ease even though going to a dentist is not my favorite thing to do.
Great dental practice all-around! All of the staff are friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend Deerhaven to anyone!
This place and all who work there are seriously just the best! So incredibly friendly, helpful to each other, and even a follow up phone call after some procedures to check in on how you are doing. A+ service and A+ work quality!
Loved the dental hygienist. She was thorough and very respectful and kind. Of course I thoroughly trust my dentist.
Always a great experience. I had a question about insurance Penny went out of her way to explain all my option and give me some sound advice. One stop shop, outstanding care.
Great communication! Walked right in and barely had to wait for my appointment and was in and out right away! Positive environment and overall a great experience!
Deerhaven Family Dentistry has a outstanding organization with exceptional staff and caring dentists. I would highly recommend their services to any one in seeking the highest quality dental and patient care.
Very professional and very high tech. Love it!
Staff is always friendly and on time. The only dentists office that I will go to.
As usual, my dental visit was ‘seamless”. They are professional, friendly, skilled and efficient. Have been a patient of theirs for many years – 15? 20? They are great. Thanks you all!!!
A friend recommended Deerfield dentistry when my previous dentist retired. Since then, Dr. Jason Merrithew has been attending my dental needs for the past few years. I highly recommend Dr. Merrithew.
The whole staff is friendly and always on time and the biggest for me is they care about your comfort. Pain free is huge in my book. Highly recommend this dentistry.
Deerhaven has done an extremely good job during this COVID crisis. They have covered every area to keep us all safe. It goes without saying the whole staff and Docs are always at their best! Thanks Deerhaven!
As always excellent professional and courteous care today. The dental hygienist was exceptional in her thoroughness.
Went here to get a second opinion. Before I feared the worst for a particular tooth believing it was cracked after having work done on it by three different dentists in Traverse City I was apprehensive to see another, but I am so happy I …
I have gone to this dentist for almost ten years. The staff has always been professional, friendly and positive. Even if you aren’t looking for a dentist you should check out Deerhaven!
Dr Gutzka is a wonderful doctor! Super polite with his patient and his staff that he works alongside with!
Deerhaven did a wonderful job filling my teeth and a tooth extraction
Always friendly, helpful and on time. Dentistry work has always been quality. Our whole family goes there, they are great with the kids.
Dr. Merrithew is absolutely wonderful! He is very gentle, patient and kind. He listens and cares! He was PHENOMENAL with my 5 year old son and I am very happy with the work he has performed. I highly recommend him!
What a great place. I’m a veteran and what they do for us on Veterans Day is amazing. Everyone there volunteers their time all day for us who can’t afford insurance. Coffee, all kinds of food and they even had a guy come in and sing the …
Thank you Dr. Beers! I should have had it done years ago. And to think it could be corrected without Novocain. I never thought I’d see the day I wasn’t numb when a drill at the dentist came my way. Looks and feels great.
Im a new patient and the staff was so welcoming and sweet. The Dr. I was originally scheduled with had an emergency come up, but another Dr stepped in so I could keep my appointment.
You simply will not find better oral care. EVERYONE here is very smart, professional and kind. They have been just wonderful for me and my family. Highly recommended.
Staff is always friendly and professional. Check in time was quick and wait time was short. The dentist is awesome!
I have been a client at Deerhaven Family Dentistry for over 20 years. Through all of their growth, I have received professional, personal care at each and every visit. I highly recommend Deerhaven Family Dentistry to be your family dentist.
I had terrible tooth pain and even though they only had one doctor in yesterday they got me in and took care of me. Whenever I have had any work or procedure the doctor calls in the evening to check in. Excellent service by every staff member.
Dr Lance Beers is great. Smooths out fillings real nice. Assistants are all real sharp. Prices are good too.
The professional and friendly staff at Deerhaven make it easy and painless to go to the dentist. Appointments run on time, which is really helpful with our family’s busy schedule. We highly recommend Deerhaven.
I was just in for cleaning and exam. As always it was a very good visit. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The office has done a very impressive job of insuring safety for all during this COVID 19 ongoing event.
I am a dental phobic and Dr. Beers did an excellent job anesthetizing my teeth so that I could survive two fillings. I actually got called in before my scheduled appointment and got a call later by the doctor. Everyone is very kind and professional, thank you.
I have been looking for a new dentist close to my work for a while. I finally have found one. the staff was awesome making me feel at ease.. I wasn’t supposed to get my teeth cleaned just xrays but they had some openings and I was also able …
Everyone was SUPER friendly, there are bird feeders outside of the exam rooms, so you have something to distract you (the birds were happy and eating and cheerful!) AND they do dentistry mission trips to Guatemala, so they’re doing good in the world too! I love this place.
Thank you Dr. Niergarth for your excellent care. I would also like to thank you for referring me to Dr. Charles Kass for my root canal. Dr. Kass did an amazing job and the whole staff at Grand Traverse Endodontics was great!
Friendly and professional staff, hygienists, and doctors. Clean and comfortable office waiting area with fireplace; it evokes a cozy log cabin feeling. I am pleased to have switched to this dental practice.
My family has had nothing but the best in dental care at Deerhaven!! Dr. Beers and his assistants, and the hygienists are caring, thorough, knowledgeable, and very professional… Highly recommend this team!!!
Happy staff results in a great visit. The evening after my appointment, Dr. Niergarth called me on the phone to make sure that I was doing well. Exceptional folow-up! Can’t say enough good things about Deerhaven Dentistry. This practice gets my highest recommendation!

I came with my 3 year old for cleaning. They are very good with children, showing patience and care to make sure the experience is a positive one. The hygienist was super patient, answering the zillion questions that 3 year olds are apt to ask. We are very happy with Deerhaven.
I can recommend them to anyone I know. Front desk people, doctors, everyone I talked to were great people. I also love the feeling that they are not greedy, I mean at least they do not sound greedy. For most of the doctor visits I had, …
High quality, friendly, and caring environment. The docs will take time to get to know you and your family. I’ve received 7 pm calls from the doc to see how I was doing after procedures. Very highly recommend.
Ask for Elaine. Best hygienist ever!
I recently became a patient at Deerhaven Family Dentistry, and I have to say, the doctors there are great! I get a lot of anxiety when I go to the dentist and Dr. Steve and Dr. Jason are great at making me feel comfortable. I would recommend these dentist to anyone in the Grand Traverse Region.

I feel so fortunate that you are taking such good care of all my dental needs!! …
First visit. Very efficient and professional and friendly!
This was the only dentist in TC that returned my call for an emergency during COVID19. They got me in promptly and had excellent service. Following the emergency today I had my first crown and Dr Beers and his assistant Jayna were amazing. Cannot reccomend this office enough
Always a great experience!!! Wouldn’t go anywhere else for my dental care!! I trust Dr. Niergarth and his staff to take good care of me, making the right and necessary decisions for me.
I have been denied service at this dentistry over a matter of $11. ELEVEN DOLLARS. I found this when I attempted to schedule an annual cleaning. I had planned on paying this $11 past due bill on my next visit; however, the pandemic took …
I have been a patient of Deerhaven Family Dentistry for a number of years. Consistently, they have proven to be professional, courteous, and very much patient oriented. I especially commend the professionalism and pleasing personality of Audrey, the Hygienist.
Unfortantely my experience with Deerhave Family Dental was completely opposite from the many glowing reviews online. I called Deerhaven looking for a dental appointment because I have a tooth with severe pain. I explained my situation …
Thanks for getting me in so quickly when my crown came off the day before Thanksgiving. It only took 10 minutes to fix and saved the day. Great team from start to finish.
Absolutely wonderful! In and out. Great staff!! Kind friendly and very professional. Great down to earth people, the kind you would like to hang out with.
I look forward to my appointments.
Thanks guys!!

I have been with Deerhaven Family Dentistry since their beginning. They have never given me any reason to look elsewhere or to think I could find better. They are the best at what they do and are very caring in all aspects.
For people nervous to visit the dentist, this is the place to go. Everyone, from the dentist to the aide to the workers at the front desk, were warm and friendly and put you at ease.
Our experiences as a whole family has always been timely and professional. They are speedy with insurance questions and accounting as well. We always leave with a smile.
Friendly Front desk staff, hygienist and Dr. Merrithew were friendly and very knowledgeable. Looking forward to this team helping me keep healthy teeth and gums. Emily did a great job cleaning my teeth and gums.
I have had some excellent dentists in the past. One was president of the Michigan Dental Association. NO DENTAL OFFICE has ever given me better service, attention, and results. Without reservation at all, you cannot have a better dental care giver.
Emily was my hygienist today and did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff! Thank you!
I love Deerhaven Dental and have been a patient for more than 10 years. PAINLESS dentistry. Very nice, professional and efficient. GREAT SERVICE

Nobody really likes to go to the dentist. But this place is the best. Wonderful staff. I’m so glad I found this place.

I was greeted very professionally. They took my temp and asked 5 questions. I stood outside until my hygienist was ready for me. She had a mask on and there were air cleaners in each cubicle. I wore a mask to and from the door. I felt very safe.
Had a crown done, two appointments and a total of 35 minutes in the chair! Outstanding!
Extremely pleased with the kindness and personability of the staff and physicians. Office is incredibly calming and pleasantly decorated; not to mentioned situated in the gorgeous hardwoods and pines which can be seen through big, beautiful …

I would totally recommend this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The hygienists are gentle. And today I had a crown prep that was made easy and painless. The people here are fantastic! Best experience ever as far as dental care goes.
Rachel was so great with our 3-year-old, Sam, during his first visit to the dentist! She really took the time to acclimate him to all the tools and the chair, and she even let him hold and use everything. It made his experience just absolutely everything I could have hoped for. Give her a raise!!
Dr. Beers and the rest of the Deerhaven group have been amazing! My two younger step kids had an ultimate fear of the dentist until we switched dentist and came here. Dr. Beers and his assistant were very thorough and calm explaining everything to the kids.

All staff and Doctors go out of their way to be certain each patient is treated individually and personally. In addition they adhere to highest professional standards. Can’t think of a better combination to receive exceptional dental care.
I’ve been a client at Deerheaven Dentistry for several years. You feel like part of the family. But most importantly the dentists and the staff inform you on the teeth that need work and give you the available options before they start doing anything.
I am giving this office a really low rating because I am so disappointed with the service and the availability, we moved here a year ago and they have canceled my appointment several times for staffing issues. They also canceled my …

I took my husband to have a crown checked. My husband is in a wheelchair and cannot stand on his own. Everyone was very accommodating and understanding.

My elementary school age daughter loves going to the dentist because of them. We appreciate all the hard work they do to keep our teeth clean and healthy.
Excellent care. Very nice staff. Would highly recommend Deerhaven Family Dentistry. The dentist and dental assistant explained everything they were doing as they prepared my tooth for a crown.

Very friendly staff. Comfortable short wait. Beautiful window views. A very detailed log wood interior. Walk out happy every time.
With 3 separate “bad experiences” with 3 different dentists throughout childhood, I’m always nervous to try a new Dentist out. I recently moved to the TC area and nearly cried at having to say goodbye to my dentist and his great staff. …
The staff at Deerhaven are truly wonderful. From the front desk, to the hygienist, to the assistants and dentists, they are all kind and friendly. I actually enjoy getting my teeth cleaned. My hygienist is such a delight and always makes …
I was acknowledged upon arrival, was taken back to start my treatment without delay. All of the staff were personable. Treatment was explained and all my questions were answered clearly.
Very pleased with my hygienist who took her job very seriously and at the same time was enjoying practicing her art of caring for me with compassion and joy! Glad to be part of Deerhaven❤️🙏 …
We were told at the door that our appointment had been canceled after working for 4 months to get all of my sons information to them. They didn’t care one bit to work with us despite knowing our schedule. Terrible costumer service. My son …
They were professional and very kind. I was seen on short notice and were able to quickly facilitate the immediate care with another facility. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs a dentist in the local area.
Awesome place for dentistry! The atmosphere is very relaxing, the people are super friendly and the docs are personable, experienced, and crazy good at what they do. I left my dentist after close to 18yrs with apprehension but the Deerhaven staff has made it well worth the move!
Dr. Beers and his tech assistant placed my cap on my implant and it was perfect! It has taken me a year to go through this process but it was totally worth it. Deerhaven Family Dentistry is the BEST!
Thank you to Deerhaven staff and Doctors for being kind, accommodating and punctual. It’s much appreciated as my children and I get our cleanings done at the same time!
Highly recommend this office. It took a while to get an appointment as a new patient (they are extra busy right now), but it was worth the wait for a highly rated Dentist in the Traverse area. They were very respectful of COVID guidelines …
The staff was Uber friendly and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone that cares about their teeth.
Wonderful experience. Everyone is very friendly and the setting is relaxing. Big place with a small town feel. Shannon cleaned my teeth today and she was great!
The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more efficient. My dentist and his assistant did a wonderful job prepping me for a crown replacement 2 weeks ago and today the permanent crown was seated. It was a perfect fit and needed nothing but cement. I am 100% pleased with Deerhaven Family Dentistry.
Dr. Gutzka and his team at Deerhaven Family Dentistry are exceptional. Not only are they friendly, they are patient and take time to make me and my little kids feel safe & comfortable. They explain what they are going to do and answer any …
Today was my first visit to this office, having recently moved to the area. My first contact at the front desk set the tone for the entire visit, which was excellent in every way. The staff and the dentist were friendly and welcoming. …
Thank you for an outstanding experience today! I needed to have several fillings and have had issues in the past with not being numbed thoroughly for dental procedures. Dr. Niergarth took the time to work with me and made sure I didn’t feel …
Everyone at Deerhaven Family Dentistry is friendly, compassionate and caring. The doctors and hygenists are top notch and I would recommend Deerhaven for every member of your family, young and old alike.
It was wonderful! I have always been very afraid of going to the dentist since a young child and now I am 76! The assistant and the dentist (embarrassed as I do not remember his name) wee very calming, informative, amd kept me at ease …
Emily was my Hygienist. Very professional and nice.
Just a great environment. Honestly, I hate going to the dentist. I don’t feel that way here.
Awesome! No complaints from me. Keep up the great work. Genessa is lovely and Elaine did a wonderful job
The quality of work is superb. The Drs are true caring individuals. The atmosphere is calming. I am lucky to have found such a great place.
Staff is friendly, cleanings are pain free, doctors are nice. Would recommend.
Wonderful and caring staff. On time. Beautiful facility and super clean as always. Highly recommended.
I love Deerhaven! They have the best staff! I have dental anxiety and they do everything they can to make me feel comfortable during my cleanings!
Thank you team for the BEST service! …
My new patient experience was top rate. The entire staff was friendly to me and each other. A very clean and comfortable environment. Suggestions for additional treatment were presented, not forced, leaving me the ability to accept or decline. Thank you to the entire staff.
I appreciate your professionalism in spite of being short staffed. My hygienist was thorough and not hard on my gums or teeth. For once I’m not sore! Thank you all for a pleasant experience. See you in April. Great team. Even Dr Niergarth was cleaning teeth to help out! Fantastic! That’s the way to show support! Thanks
I am so completely happy with Dr. Beers and his Hygenist. Both are so thorough, careful, and professional. They both make going to the dentist a positive experience. Thank you
Everyone was extremely pleasant. My appointment was on time with no delays. Dr. Merrithew reviewed my x-rays and performed a thorough oral examination. As a retired Pediatric Dentist , I was impressed with the quality of the procedures performed.
My experience was exceptional. Every transaction today was professional and everyone was positive and supportive throughout the whole experience. I’ve been a patient of Deerhaven for over 24 years and they never disappoint!
No one loves going to the dentist. But it’s a top notch place if you have to.
Had my teeth cleaned (first time at this office) and it was great! On time and great job !
As a patient of another dental practice for many years I was concerned about finding a new dentist. After my initial exam and with a recommendation that I have a crown replaced to save the tooth and having the procedure done I couldn’t feel …
The staff and dentists are always friendly and take the time to listen.
Wonderful experience! They remember me, there’s a connection. Deanna, in particular, contributed to a very comfortable experience for me.
Everything went great. They have a very well run office. The only thing that slowed down the process was Hygienist new I needed some x-rays but didn’t know if I would be covered by insurance which isn’t her fault with all the different coverage. They were able to find out and I need to wait till next time.
Always a pleasure to have my dental work done by Deerhaven. Audrey did a great job cleaning my teeth – she’s awesome! Thanks/Art Forster …
Had a temporary crown seated. Dr. Merrithew and Jen are
a dynamic duo. They really know what they”re doing!
Every single person is so friendly! The service is top notch. They take their time to be sure you are comfortable and understand what you are doing and why. They are great!!
Excellent staff all around from the receptionists, the dentists, and everyone in between. Have had two crowns and a cleaning done so far and am very happy with the work done.
I never thought that having a crown replaced would be an enjoyable experience. But it was with Dr. Merrithew at Deerhaven. Friendly and personable, he explained up front what he would do. During the procedure, he made sure my mouth was numb …
I have been going to Deerhaven since 2007. The staff are always friendly and caring. They are gentle with their dental practices and I feel relaxed when I am there, this has not always been the case at other practices. I also love the bird feeders outside of most of the windows so I can watch the birds while I’m in the chair!
Excellent dental care. I wish I had started going to Deerhaven sooner. I have been seen by two dentists there and both have been awesome. They have been very gentle each time and worked hard to get me in for a crown. I’m confident the cleaning will go well next month. I now understand why there calendar books up so quickly.
I was recommended to this place by a Co Worker. I’m absolutely amazed of all of the great work that I was able to get completed. In my earlier years when Im get a filling I’m grinding my teeth down for weeks but with my main dentist Dr. …
Had to have a small cavity filled yesterday and as always, Dr Neigarth did a quick, painless and awesome job.
I appreciate the fact that he called me in the evening to check on how I was …
Deanna took very good care of Paul. We were both glad to meet the new dentist. I had a very good check up and cleaning. Sorry I can’t remember my hygienist name but I really enjoyed the time with her. We will both be back in November. Thank you all for a great visit.
They got me in and taken care of super fast! They all are so sweet and caring! They go above and beyond ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an excellent dental appointment. The wait was less than 5 minutes. Elaine did an excellent job of the cleaning and exam. She compared my results this time vs. last appointment in terms of the numbers. She cleaned my teeth …
always most personal service and commitment by doc.’s to do the best they can for you!!
always, even the little things!
highly recommend the group!
I love Emily, she is a wonderful hygienist! Emily and Dr. Beers make a usually unpleasant experience (for me) a very bearable one.
I was greeted immediately upon arriving. I was escorted into the exam room almost immediately – I appreciated this, because I was visiting the dentist on my lunch hour. The dental assistant was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. …
Awesome! You can tell they all love working there. Makes everyone comfortable.
The worst medical experience I’ve had in my life. I am visiting Michigan and had a dental emergency. The day before my appointment I ended up having to go to the ER because my pain was so bad. Although they gave me a diagnosis here at …
Dr. Gutzka is great! Very personable, takes the stress out of being at the dentist and having some major procedures done. Talked me through everything and is super patient. But genuinely patient, not like in an annoyed or condescending way.
Deanna is so exceptional. What a great hygienist. She is thorough, friendly, and a super class act. Dr. Beers is congenial as are the rest of the staff throughout my visit to Deerhaven. This dentist treats you like family and I am a huge fan of the quality dentistry I receive with each visit. 5 stars is not enough. ❤️
The office environment is very friendly and warm. I was greeted immediately and began my appointment in less than 5 minutes after arrival. The hygienist was very detailed and thorough. Best cleaning I’ve had ever. I highly recommend DFD for all your dental needs.
Has to be one of the most unorganized places I have ever been. Went here once for a cleaning, went a year before wondering when my next cleaning was. Found out I was dismissed for none payment. But never received anything in the mail and no …
I have lived in five different states, and I have never had a dentist follow up with me after hours of the same day to check in on me. Thank you for your sincerity and professionalism, Dr. Niergarth!
I had a get patient experience when I went in to prep my tooth for a new crown. My comfort was important to the care team and they checked frequently and took measures to adjust for what I needed to be comfortable as they worked on my tooth.
Very satisfied with my visit. Two crowns replaced and a filling done in 30 minutes.
Staff and Doctor very good. …
Well taken care of.
As a new patient to Deerhaven Family Dentistry, I was just a skosh nervous. The …
Is a crown always that easy? I needed a root canal and crown. Was it pleasant? No, I’m not going to sign up for it every day! But I am a needle and dentist wuss and this wasn’t very bad at all. Thank you Deerhaven.
If you miss a payment, they will only send you bills via snail mail. I never received the bill in the mail notifying me of my $7.00 payment due. They discharged me as a patient because I missed it. Runs more like a business than a …
The interior of Deerhaven Family Dentistry is similar to visiting a high end Northern Michigan Airbnb. It’s beautifully decorated interior, along with being able to watch all of the birds enjoying their meals at the bird feeders through …
They worked me in because part of my bridge was scraping my tongue. Glad to get it taken care of prior to holiday weekend. They got me in at appointed time even though I was a work-in. Very personable dentist and staff.
I had an excellent dental appointment at Deerhaven. Elaine did an excellent and efficient job of cleaning my teeth, X-rays, and diagnostic tests. Dr. Niergarth also checked me out and does a good job of only looking for any issues and not additional optional procedures.
Met Dr. Jacob and he was very friendly and professional. He explained everything in detail that was easy to understand and encouraged me to ask questions. My tech for the cleaning was very personable and my cleaning was painless. Great visit!
Very professional and personable staff, from the hygienists and doctors to the front desk and billing. You can tell that they care about their patients – making certain that you understand what they’re about to do and that it doesn’t hurt. Highly recommended! Thanks Dr Beers and staff!
Dr. Niergarth is amazing! I have major dental anxiety but he is very calming and gentle. Chrissy was great with my deep cleaning as well. I am a very happy new patient who can smile with confidence again!
Dr. Niergarth is hands down the best dentist my family has ever had. He’s patient, compassionate, kind and very caring. All the Dental Assistants we’ve had have been great. The billing lady to the left when checking out is always kind and caring. Highly recommend Deerhaven!
We’ve gone here for over 30 years and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. From checking in to checking out they have an awesome staff. So caring and compassionate. The doctors always make sure you’re comfortable and never in pain at …
So refreshing to find this place filled with competent professionals my dentist and his assistant were true artisans of their craft. The front office staff were also as good as they were pleasant. I highly recommend this facility. Five dentists in total and one is on call at all times. Great business and people
Absolutely Amazing practice from front to back! From the Front Desk, to the Hygienist and All 3 doctors my family has interacted with, they all have been above and beyond Amazing. From our 3yo daughter, my wife and myself (both of which …
