Patient Reviews
Sep 14, 2022
I am glad that I entrusted my care to Dr, Merkow. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and cares for me as an individual. Dr. Merkow discussed my illness in detail and always allows time to answer all of my questions. During my procedure, he left no stones unturned to ensure a successful outcome. Post-op, he provided me with a recap of everything that had been done and followed up for a successful recovery. I am extremely confident in Dr. Merkow and the treatment plan he has outlined for me moving forward.
