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.

My appointment was at 2:30. There were 4 people ahead of me and I noticed each one, upon check in said "I have an appointment with Merritt at 2:30". After sitting there for 90 minutes two of those were called back and I walked out. Ninety minutes to not be seen is disrespectful of my time.

Great down to earth surgeon who took time to fully explain about my procedure. Stated the risk that were involved but said percentages were low. Put my mind at ease. Day of surgery he came by in holding and wanted to know if I had any more questions. He shows a high degree of confidence which helps. Would recommend him anytime.
