Did a great job for me
I waited over an hour to be seen. Dr was fine once I saw him, for 10 minutes after 1 hour and 10 minute waiting.
He explained things well and answered my questions - some of which I didn't even have to ask. I felt validated.
He is an excellent doctor. He is so knowledgeable. He asks questions, listens and is easy to talk with. And he is pleasant and never rushed.
outstanding care professional and kind. very knowledgeable
He was great to work with and really took the time to talk with us about my daughter's injury
outstanding explanation of injury and next steps
I really like Dr. Meirick. He has helped me live a more comfortable life by treating my hip and shoulder pain without surgery. I'm sad to hear he is leaving SC Orthopedics.
I was really impressed with Dr. Merrick’s interaction during my visit. He was very evidence based and gave me great information about different procedures in an intelligent and knowledgeable manner. I highly recommend him.
