My wife had seen others for her stomach but Dr. Merlo was the one who did some simple tests that no other doctor thought to do. My wife's stomach is fine. And I do not hear any complaints. She takes great care of her patients.

This is the worst experience I have had so far. Very disappointed with everything. Doctor’s bedside manner was really bad. She couldn’t diagnose anything or didn’t even come close. She kept giving round round answers rather than any sort of analysis. My suggestion is to not waste time and look for a Doctor who is empathetic and can actually help you with your health issue

Overall very unpleasant experience and I will be finding a new doctor!
My first initial video call with Dr. Merlo went well and I was excited to have a new doctors to help with my issues. But all of the interactions after that appointment were less than satisfactory. She was rude over the phone getting clear communication was difficult. She blamed me for having misinformation about an appointment which I found very unprofessional!
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Dr. Merlo seemed very bored and unhappy. She was rude and inattentive. She refused to do anything for my problem because I didn't have a primary care doctor's name. I use a group that offers in-home care by nurse practitioners.
I clearly was of no interest to her. I found the entire experience very unpleasant and disappointing. I wanted to tell her off and slam the phone down, but I restrained myself.
And I still have daily, chronic diarrhea.

Very disrespectful. Ugh. Never going back, I read the bad comments about the doctor and her staff and I thought they were exaggerating but they were not.
This woman is far from kind.

She was 13 minutes late and spent half the time talking about my weight/diet. I'm 10 lbs overweight. She asked what I expected, and I asked for a new solution. She was also extremely rude.

Dr. Merlo is quick tempered, unpleasant, sarcastic and rude. She should retire or at the very least recognize her change worthy behaviors and upgrade her interpersonal skills. Zero bedside manner.

Very unprofessional and rude!
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
she was cold and unfriendly and very quick to cut me off. she kept herself professional so yes, that part of this review section holds true. she wasn’t reassuring or comforting and as someone who has suffered with stomach issues over the last few years, a rude and disengaged doctor is the last thing you want. it was disappointing and disheartening and i will not be returning.
January 12, 2021Juliette B.Verified patientVideo visit
She was very nice, listened thoroughly to my concerns and was fully up to date on my medical issues prior to attending the appointment. Best experience I have had with a doctor in a very long time. Highly recommend Dr. Merlo.
December 16, 2020Initials hiddenVideo visit
Knowledgeable and professional doctor and staff! Seamless process getting an appointment with her and speaking with the receptionist. I can see that Dr. Merlo wants to get to the bottom of my health concerns as much as I do. She was attentive and communicated clearly with me without being judgmental or condescending, and is the first gastro I’ve ever had that truly listened to my concerns and asked the right questions thoroughly. Looking forward to getting some testing done with her in the coming month.

Although my visit was not an in person visit, Doctor Merlo was equally as engaged, knowledgeable, and concern with helping me to navigate through all of my healthcare needs.
