I’ve given up with this dr. I’ve been a patient for years and each time I call to get a medication refill there is an issue with the office staff. Marie the office manager is sarcastic and rude. She will make a decision on your refill based on her mood.

Dr, Marikhi is one in a million. She is an excellent doctor who also has an excellent bedside manner. She always listens to you and provides guidance and great health care. I would recommend her to everyone and I rate her as a #1 doctor.

Dr. Merikhi is the best gastroenterologist that I have ever had. She is concerned about what you have to say and really listens. She has diagnosed me right on the spot with my symptoms while two other doctors didn’t. Office staff is great!
