Dr. Merriam has been my primary heart doctor for three years. He is always well informed and knowledgeable about my heart history and medications. He has a genuine concern about my heart, and my overall health stability. Being a minister, I naturally read people. Dr. Merriam has always put everything He has into caring for me as a patient. I feel I can always trust his judgment to give me the best care available.

Dr. Merriam had them change my profile picture due to weight loss. I had no idea this could be done the previous picture did not even look like me but he was the only one that made reference to it needed to be changed. He's awesome
