Dr. Merrill was awesome to work with. He and his very accommodating staff were sensitive and responsive to personal requests that made me feel very well cared for and highly impressed not only with their good humor throughout a sedation-free colonoscopy and with their generosity in sharing their knowledge, but also with their high degree of professionalism and first-rate quality of healthcare service.

A doctor in the same facility retired, he took on his patients and put their appointments before any of his already established patients. People that just need a scope, should not be put ahead of people that are in urgent need and are very sick! His staff is HORRIBLE! The tests that he orders NEVER gets scheduled. He is a flake and I would not suggest seeing him!

Dr. Merrill is AMAZING! He is very personable and attentive. He knows how to pin point a problem and find a solution. He is also very good at explaining what is happening and why things are happening the way they are.
