Very intelligent guy, I know I'm in good hands.
dr Merrill and his staff were very friendly and helpful. i was diagnosed quickly. would highly recommend him.
Excellent experience from beginning to end. Would recommend, however, that Dr. Merrell's associate use less violent imagery when asking where the patient is experiencing hand pain.
Very kind and professional.
So caring and educated me with what is causing the pain along with options. Precise shot with some pain but was so good at helping me through it.
