She always leaves me feeling me confident and educated when I leave.
My only concern is the wait to see Dr Merkle when in the exam room. This time I only had to wait 25 minutes. Other than that Dr Merkle is wonderful and is an expert on all skin issues
She is wonderful
Excellent

She is incredibly thorough, proactive, and always goes above and beyond to do as much as possible in a single visit for the patient's convenience.
