Dr. Merkin is great, she's straight forward but still personable. Routine exams are quick and comfortable as can be expected.
Dr. Merkin is very helpful and knowledgeable. She makes sure all my questions are answered before my appointment ends. She makes the uncomfortable parts as comfortable as possible. Of all the gynecologists I've seen (and been seen by), she is the best.

I like her straight forward manner.
I wouldn't recommend Dr. Merkin. Wasn't very warm during the visit and felt like she was rushing through. Also very poor communication with the office for test results.
It was great!!!
The doctor was professional and informative. It was 10 times better than waiting to get into Northwestern University Hospital in the city.

She was very kind. From NY like me!

Excellent, as always
Doc Merkin was very professional yet personal, she was thorough and I even made a follow up appointment to see her again. Staff offered to validate my parking, office ladies were kind and friendly. Wait time was minimal, didn't even have time to pick up a magazine!
Verified patient
Dr. Merkin was extremely engaging and thorough. I could not have asked for a better experience. I tend to be a medical avoidance type with little patience for non-urgent clinical appointments. Her manner was professional and patient. Excellent.
Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Knowing I was fairly new to the area, she also recommended a few Primary Care doctors, which I truly appreciated. Not that OBGYNs are my favorite doctor visit, but Dr. Merkin made it easier and I truly was impressed by her kindness and expertise. Thank you!
