Very good care
Great experience and received the information needed to decide on next steps! Great staff and truly appreciate the exceptional care!!
Very nice gave good information- understood what I was going through due to a car accident. .
He took time to listen and communicated clearly. Wait time was minimal.
I waited nearly an hour before seeing someone which was very inconvenient.
He has a calming affect about him.
I love Dr. Merrell! He is the sweetest, kindest, most compassionate physician I have ever had. While my surgery was painful and the recovery lengthy, Dr. Merrell has comforted, reassured me and made me smile and laugh during my journey. Thank you!!
He is fantastic!!
Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Merrell. The whole experience of visits and surgeries were beyond my expectations.
