“Having seen several doctors for a severe spine injury, I never know what to expect but I am so pleased to have found Dr. Merritt. She genuinely seemed to care, listened to my concerns and also came up with a treatment plan for me. I highly recommend her. The wait was a bit longer than normal but she definitely took her time with me and to find a doctor that does that is worth a little extra waiting time.”

She was very nice and treated me like a person not just a patient. We came up with a plan of action to deal with my pain and I look forward to seeing her next month, one of the best doctors I've ever seen. I recommend her to anyone that wants a doctor who actually cares.
