Excellent DR
Dr. Merchant is friendly and knowledgable.
Very accommodating I feel so lucky to have been referred to Dr Merchant
It was not necessary to charge $29 to undo the dilation as the drips did not shorten the time needed to improve my vision afterwards. It was a waste of money. I regret paying.
Good Cheracter
No one else treated my Sjogren’s Disease. However, Dr. Merchant was not only aware of it, but also, provided adequate care.
Shows compassion. Professional and understanding. Very happy I found the Eye Care Associates of NJ
