Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Do not go to him. Had total knee replacement. He was great until there were problems which started shortly after surgery. He kept telling me to be just wait. I had enormous swelling with pain. After 4 months of continued pain and swelling (had full range of motion lying down, but very limited weight bearing)and a PT stating that there was a mechanical problem, Dr Merriam did arthroscopic surgery to no avail. 3 months later still in pain and swelling, a new physical therapist tried to talk to him about questionable Xrays. Dr Merriam would not return his phone calls or my phone calls. Finally went to a different surgeon, had Xrays and he did revision surgery to correct Dr Merriam’s surgery. I have never heard back from Dr Merriam.

I received a subacromial decompression from Dr. Meriam, a surgery that is increasingly not recommended as being any better than placebo or physical therapy. I now have daily chronic pain from the surgery, a risk that was never once mentioned or explained to me.
