I am very fortunate to be in a partnership with my doctor. With his help, I have been able to understand any health concerns/issues I may have. Dr. Meer provides patience and thoroughness. When I email him, he generally emails back right away. I appreciate him and his staff.

Dr. Meer is by far the best doctor I have ever been treated by. He is thorough and consultative & takes the time & care to get to the root of the patients' issues & concerns & have them addressed and treated in the most effective way possible. I am greatly blessed having him as my Primary Doctor and he has helped me regain my health & my life. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a truly caring, doc who won't stop until he finds a remedy for each health issue and concern.

Dr.Meer saw my husband and myself even though we did not have a appointment. He stayed to take care of us. He is always caring and takes time to explain things to us. He gives us his time and concern.

Given many negative experiences with Dr. Meer, we had to change the pediatrician after making several requests for an appointment to no avail. Dr. Meer did not even bother to call us to find out the status of our son's health. Our son battled scarlet fever for a week until the new pediatrician diagnosed him. Dr. Meer never called. When appointments are granted, the wait time has been around 2 hours. In addition, he rushes patients out of the examining room.
