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.

Felt that Dr. Merkley did not read my chart or listen to my complaints.

Dr. Merkley was on call when I delivered my son and it was a truly traumatic experience. He completely disregarded my patient rights and had awful bedside manner. Go to any other doctor! He is truly awful.

Terribly rude and condescending. If you're looking for a physician that treats you like you're stupid this is your guy but I would rather give birth alone on the side of the road than deal with this guy again!!
