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.

Excellent Physician. Extremely patient, kind, & knowledgeable!

Horrible experience
Dr. Merola himself is fine, but the staff at the practice and Stewards Medical Group are incredibly unprofessional. They entered the wrong code for my medical bills, and despite my two months of follow-up, they did nothing to rectify the situation, resulting in a delinquent notice for my bill. It's evident they have little regard for their patients. I strongly advise against going there; sooner or later, you'll regret it.

worst doctor with the worse advice. The definition of stupidity is this person. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
