Patient Reviews
Dec 01, 2020
My daughter fell off her bike. A few days later, of course on a Saturday, she couldn't bend her elbow so I took her to an Urgent Care. They took x-rays and the doctor thought there was a fracture. They put her arm in a splint. I called Dr. Merchant's office on Monday and he saw her that day. He was very thorough in his physical exam. My daughter can be dramatic, but his calm demeanor put both of us at ease. He reviewed the x-rays with us. He did a very good job explaining to us what the problem was and how long it would take to heal. He is a really nice doctor! I would definitely recommend him.
