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.

World-class gastroenterologist
I had both an endoscopy and an ECRP on the same day and was pretty nervous. Dr. Merrill's staff were extremely professional and calmed me down quickly. The procedures were successful due to Dr. Merrill's incredible expertise and knowledge. The anesthesiologist was also amazing.. Now I'm ready tp go for a run.

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, as Dr. Merrill expertly maneuvered the colonoscope, but also with their high degree of professionalism and first-rate quality of healthcare service.

Dr. Merrill never gives up on helping find solutions to my less common GI disease. He is always patient & thorough. He takes the time to explain everything so that I feel comfortable and confident in what my treatment plan holds. I would recommend Dr. Merrill to anyone in need of a great GI doc.
