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.

Dr. Merrill was very attentive to my symptoms and concerns. He was able to successfully solve my problems. I also want to recognize how welcoming his staff was.

Simply Amazing!
I dropped a pot on my big toe. An enormous blood blister on, above and under the toenail. Dr. Merrill was able to drain and remove the nail and I never saw or felt anything. I was in and out in no more than 20 mins. And most of that time was checking in. I would recommend Dr. Merrill in a heartbeat. I’ve had numerous podiatrists in the past. This guy surpasses them all. I waited quite awhile before writing this to see if any pain ensued. None!!! What the Heck??? I had a nail on my big toe removed and draining of the blood blister. I expected pain. This Dr. Is marvelous.By the way…for the most part….I never leave reviews. I had to for Dr. Merrill!! Simply amazing!!

Abandoned after surgery
I had a surgery performed by Dr Merrill in early May 2023. I saw him 2 weeks later for about 30 seconds. Was told no weight bearing & follow-up in 2 weeks. The front office told me he was on vacation and I couldn’t be seen for an extra week meaning off my feet for an extra week. They didn’t care. Needless to say I was not happy that I was unable to walk an additional week. Fast forward to June 6. I call to get a follow up appointment as I am concerned everything's healing properly and am told nothing is available until June 27, guess who’s on vacation again? Must be good to be a podiatrist, not so much for the patient. Enjoy your trip, luckily I know how to remove sutures!

I had an appointment with you at 12 noon on 10/5/16. You introduced me to a podiatrist from Sahaurita and left me in his care. Thanks. He injected a neuroma in my foot and I feel great. He also addressed a fungal problem. He was wonderful, but I forgot his name. I will recommend your group to everyone I know in Green Valley. Thanks again, Steve Henefield
