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
Dr. Merrill has always listened intently when I have had to see him for different ailments. And always provides me with a good explanation to what I am experiencing, and what the best treatment would be if any are needed. I have always gotten appointments for visits with little to no waiting time. Sometimes the same day. He has never made me feel rushed so that he could get to another patient. He is the fourth PCP I have had in fifty years of adulthood, and the best.

I am on the Autism Spectrum. I made this clear to all office staff and the doctor prior to my first appointment. In no way were my accomodation requests honored. Even with an official diagnosis, the doctor, unqualified to say so, wrote in my record that I "likely" was on the Autism Spectrum. I paid $1800 to a testing specialist doctor, and went to three appointments for that diagnonis to be confirmed, only to have my new doctor brush it off. He shouldn't get to choose what he wants to pay attention to. He needs to learn to be a listener, because I did not experience being heard at all.
