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.

THOROUGH excellent pediatrician!
Dr. Merrick really listened to what was going on with my daughter and didn't dismiss her issues. She recognized that there could be an underlying problem and ordered extensive labs to get to the bottom of it. Sure enough, something did show up out of the ordinary and thanks to her thoroughness, we got an early diagnosis of Crohn's so we are very thankful to her. She may be a little older and eccentric but don't let that deter you. She's a caring professional who listens, researchs and follow ups. That's actually hard to come by. Highly recommend!

This is the third year my Grand child has been in Dr Merricks care. She is very understanding and gentle with her. Has been considerate and explains all diagnosis clearly. LOVE HER AND WOULD ALWAYS RECOMEND HER CARE.

After needing advice, help, and reassurance about our fussy baby, she provided that to an extent. However, after we asked quite a few questions she seemed to become annoyed and condescending. I would not recommend her.
