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.

One of the best
I would encourage any patient contemplating spine surgery see PMR physician Dr. Merz first. He will help diagnose other factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a plan that treats the current problem. In addition and importantly he also discussed ways to prevent further injury and optimize your surgical outcome if surgery is done. Both my husband and myself appreciated his thoroughness and ability to explain complex medical issues in an easy to understand and straightforward way.

Knowledgeable & Kind
Dr Merz explained every step of the testing and what I was to expect. He made sure I was comfortable and at ease. Afterwards he gave me insight as to what the testing showed. He explained some possible treatment, signs I can watch for, and possible outcome if I did nothing. I appreciate the feed back and would highly recommend Dr Merz for his kindness and Knowledge.

Dr. Merz explained everything about my condition, treatment options, and follow up. He did not push any treatments and I feel like he understood my pain. I have had wonderful care at the Mayfield group for 10 years for different back/neck problems.

Dr. Merz genuinely cares about the patient and wants to offer options. He however is very realistic about what outcome to expect and the risks. He is very adamant about physical therapy being the core of treatment and that pain management is done to make physical therapy goals easier to achieve. I feel comfortable recommending him. I would like him to spend more time reviewing the files and considering additional diagnostics as I don't feel they are certain about the cause of my pain. I will suggest this on next visit.
