    How was your appointment with Dr. Merritt?

    Mar 23, 2023
    Dr. Merritt is among the best physicians who ever have treated me. He is both personal and professional. His skills as a surgeon are exceptional. When I had a question preparing for my recent knee surgery, he took the time and interest to call me himself. Not only was he exceptional, but so was his nurse who worked with me.
