Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Simply the best!
Dr. Mermelstein practices medicine the old fashioned way. He listens to his patients, doesn’t rush you and genuinely cares about you and your overall health.

A Caring Doctor
Dr. Mermelstein takes time to attentively listen to your symptoms, performs a thorough evaluation, enumerates possible causes, recommends path forward for an accurate diagnosis. Most importantly, he’s caring and respectful, and doesn’t rush the visit. I wish every doctor was like Dr. Mermelstein. My highest recommendation.

Came on as a new patient with long history of JRA and RA. Dr. Mermelstein spent over an hour examining and talking to me about my history. Ran thorough lab work and took the time to call me after 5pm to review same day I called the office. I have never experienced a physician provide such exceptional customer service! I now see why it took 3/4 weeks for a new patient appt- well worth the wait!
