She is pcp for me and my wife, since first visit over 15 years ago. She is a superb diagnostician and warmly engaging person. We would not change as long as we live in this part of Texas. I have worked with physicians for much of my professional life and believe she is among the best I have known.

The first time I went to Dr. Merritt was 26 years ago. She correctly diagnosed me within minutes after I had been told by other doctors for 15 years that "it was all in my head ". In addition to an autoimmune issue, I am very chemically sensitive and tolerate few medications. What would I do without the amazing expertise of Dr. Merritt? I still go to her. Sometimes I have to wait a while in the waiting room. She's worth the wait.

IDr Merritt is the best around! She listens and questions then takes the time to talk to me. The whole office is great. I too work in the Medical Field but they are always willing to work around my crazy schedule. I tried switching to a Dr closer to work/ home but realized that Dr Merritt is worth the extra drive

Dr. Merritt has been my PCP for several years and you might say I trust her with my life as she is the only Dr. I see for my medical needs. If she has a clinic and contracts with my Insurance I will be her patient.

Dr Merritt's knowledge of regular medicine as a doctor combined with her knowledge of natural medicine is exceptional! When i first saw her I told her of my bad experiences with other docs that wouldnt "listen" when i told them of severe side effects I had while taking drugs they prescribed to me....she DID listen & umcovered the problem! I wouldnt change primary care docs for anything!
