“I was very pleased with Dr. Merit. She is very attentive and knowledgeable. After few visits I was seeing results already, my medication was adjusted and the outcome was better. I definitely recommend her.”

“The appt was available the next day and on a Saturday at that! The provider was so attentive. I had went to another provider on another site and Merit Nwosu was a ray of sunshine. She listened to my needs and asked so many questions. She did not rush the appointment or treat me like a number! Highly recommend!”

The doctor started me on some medications that didnt work then prescribed me gabapentin and i was unable to receive my medication from the pharmacy so i reached out and she took over a week to get back to me. Tried new medications and they didnt work. We switched medication again and i had an even worse panic attack when i told her she said ride it out unless i needed to go to a hospital. My last straw was when i just booked my last appointment and she made me wait 20 minutes pulled over at a rest stop and never came into the appointment. Never using this doctor again.
