“?I was greeted immediately upon entering the office. The front desk brought me back to get started once she finished helping the couple before me. The initial check went quite, but through. I was then settled in the exam room briefly while Dr. Merchant went over that information and came in. She’s very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Dr. Merchant walks you through every step and explains as she goes along.”
