Doctor Merchant strives to help patients keep a healthy smile and to have input in their treatment. He values the opinion and goals of his patients when it comes to their oral health, and uses cutting edge technology to help patients achieve the best results possible.

In his spare time, he enjoys guitar/concerts, spending time with his wife Nina, and cheering for the Lakers.

Dr. Salazar is a compassionate and energetic dentist, who always has the patient’s best interest in mind and strives to provide quality dental care to all who sit in his chair.
