Patient Reviews
Oct 15, 2019
My son was having issues out of town at college. He couldn’t see a Gastro there for weeks. We got him back to Lexington and Dr. Merkley was able to see him the next day. He truly listened to my son and his symptoms. He made a plan to investigate and scheduled two procedures the very next day. Many physicians would have given up but Dr. Merkley kept digging and found the source of the problem. We are very grateful for the prompt and sincere dedication Dr. Merkley exhibited and felt our son couldn’t have received better care. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a physician that will listen, really care and be diligent.
