“Dr. Merzel was absolutely amazing! She listened to all my concerns and was one of the most thorough doctors I’ve ever been to. She treated my daughter like one of her own and definitely went the extra mile. She was so nice and made my daughter feel at ease. I appreciate her being willing to do further testing if the issue continues and initial treatment doesn’t help. I didn’t feel dismissed like I felt with other doctors and she didn’t just blame my daughter’s issue on some random virus. I will definitely be using her in the future”
