Patient Reviews
Jun 27, 2020
Dr. Merritt is my hero. I have met him in the OR almost twice a year for 10 year for a routine procedure. The results of his work is amazing, his surgical team is fantastic and the pre-and post op nurses are phenomenal. Today’s visit was #15+ (we have lost track), but the best pre-op and recovery time frame were a record! Thank you!
