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.
I have been a patient of Dr. Arnold Merin for at least 30 years in that time he has always been professional, knowledgeable and has provided quality care for me as well as other persons that I have referred to him. His staff is always able to help the patients with appointments or referrals. They are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Dr. Merin has been our doctor for many years. He also was our families doctor too. He has always been a caring and professional doctor with concerns about his patients, He never orders test that are not necessary. He has been the only one who HAS helped me through very terrible digestive issues. He spends time with us and really cares about his patients.
negative comments are his front desk staff EXTREMELY rude.do not do reminder calls, so you miss appointment they will be rude as all heck!!!!!

I find Dr Merin to be very professional and highly capable. He spent ample time discussing my complaints and he ordered comprehensive tests to determine the cause of my difficulty. I do not hesitate to give him my highest recommendation for both his capabilites and his "bedside" manner.

Dr. Merin has been my GI Doc for about 15 years. He is presently ordering some tests that may well save my life. Everyone else just poo-pooed me. About 5 years ago, he took over someones practice, and now he limits his practice to Endoscopes and Colonoscopy. But, he has no problem referring to the best to get problems solved. He even found a nodule in my lung. No one else found it. GO DOC!

Dr. Arnold tried to pull a fast one on a Retired, Disabled Nurse
Not at all impressed by a Doctor who insists on procedures that are contraindicated for certain patients and told me not to believe the surgeon who saved my life and told me no more colonoscopies.This Physician is a typical GI Doc. They make all their money on Colonoscopies and EGD's. Left the office without any answer to my problem. He threw some pills at me. I tossed the prescription.
Just another GI mill that runs th

I have been seeing Dr. Merin for years. He is the only GI doctor that has ever taken the time to talk to me. Other GI's just keep setting up tests and I only got to speak to their assistants. Most of his staff are nice and Jean the scheduler is terrific. Be on time - He is never behind.

Dr. Merin has been my doctor for 3 years. I am very thankful to have him taking care of me! Dr. Merin is very kind and caring. He listens to me closely and then together we decide on what would be the best course of treatment. I am currently feeling the best I have felt in 10 years. Dr. Merin has personally called me with test results or because I simply left a message asking a question. His staff are friendly and efficient. I feel he is an outstanding doctor.
