Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2025
Everything about Dr Merchant and the staff is outstanding! Staff is kind and professional and Dr Merchant is amazing! He is so caring, professional and patient! I had a few issues after my cataract surgery and Dr Merchant was on top of everything and kept me calm and all was taken care of. I would highly (and already have) recommend Dr Merchant! You will be in good, caring hands from making your appointment up to getting treatment and having your issue solved!
