How likely are you to recommend Dr. Merkow?
I went in for spine fusion procedure L4, L5 lumbar. I was nervous but had faith in the entire team at John Muir in Walnut Creek.As I recovered Dr. Merkow and his Assistant Taylor greeted me and Dr. Merkow had a brilliant smile that lit the room with perfection.He must have known he performed the surgery like a true master.I have never felt better, the sciatica and numbness in lower body are COMPLETELY cured. I was walking unassisted the same day and did laps on my own thereafter. He is amazing and I am so pleased and so blessed to have had Dr. MERKOW perform such excellence to fix me.He is a Rockstar!
