Dr. Shannath Merbs, MD

No doubt the most skilled oculoplastic surgeon you could ever find! Do not waste your time with anyone else.

I was recommended to Dr. Merbs for a droopy eyelid surgery repair. I was comfortable while undergoing the procedure as it was thoroughly explained prior to the event. Not only was it successfully completely but my eye fatigue and compromised vision was clearly eliminated.

Dr. Merbs took two phone calls while seeing my daughter for an infection. Both nurse and doctor recorded information wrong in the chart.

I was very impressed with Dr. Merbs. From the start she was able to see the basal cell cancer on my eyelid and diagnose it correctly. She was very calm and explained what she was going to have to do to remove it in detail. She then went out to the reception desk and immediately found me an appointment quickly. I had the skin cancer removed soon thereafter and the eye lid was repaired with almost no flaw to be seen. Her work was well done. Although she had taken out a good chunk of eyelid, no one will ever know. She is AMAZING! Would recommend highly!

Diagnosed with periorbital cellulitis at my local ER. Was told to follow up with ophthalmologist at Wilmer since I’m already a patient there. Got there, the med tech was great. Dr. Merbs , not so much. She stated the obvious of pinkeye, I explained that I wasn’t there for that but for the periorbital cellulitis. She sighed and said yeah you got a little on the eyelid like it was no big deal. Made me feel like I had wasted her time (which she said a few minutes later). Didn’t want to read the notes from the CT scan. Was upset because I didn’t have the films. Told me I was done and she’d check us out. Walked out of the room and stopped st the reception desk to make sure everything was done and she comes walking up saying she’d taken care of it and waved ya out of the office. Did t explain the cellulitis at all and did t ask if I had any questions. Will never ever recommend her. No compassion what so ever!

Dr Merbs is an excellent and concerned physician. Cancer patients might expect more from a doctor and Dr Merbs was superb. After our first visit my wife and I realized that Dr Merbs was sincere and confident. I had to drive over three hours to see Dr Metbs and I feel it was well worth it.

Personable, straightforward, caring, responsible to the patient. I highly regard her in all that she does.

Dr. Merbs was professional and matter of fact. She answered all questions without delay and expressed a willingness to help.

I can only exclaim high praise for Dr. Merbs. I found her quite refreshing in her honesty about her surgical expectations and my prognosis. I also found her personable and engaging.Despite a hestitant concern regarding the prognosis, I was overwhelmed with delight at the surgical results.I went from being totally embarrassed to go outside my home to freedom of movement in public. I will always be grateful for her help.

waiting for a long time.
