The idea of service is a 4 letter word. Hereford cattle are treated better than people here. Asking to many quest ions gets you more visits so you can be charged more.

Dr merriment changed my life for the better!. I have never had a Dr. spend as much time with me. I have had back surgeries and chronic pain for years and he has got it under control with minimal medication. He is a genius
Highly recommend him

Dr. merriman is wonderful at was he does, he’s the best. He truly listens to his patients and works hard to get their pain levels as low as possible. He’s helped me tremendously since day 1 of becoming a patient of his. My wife and I are so grateful to have him as my pain management Specialist. We’d refer him to anyone dealing with chronic pain.

I see David (NP) and truly trust him with my care. He has helped me tremendously. He doesn't just throw pain medication at you, he thoroughly assesses your and your condition and talks through your options. My nurse is always super nice and actually knows my name and what's going on with me, unlike many Dr's offices today where you never have the same nurse twice.

This USED TO be a superb physician office. I've been a patient for years and have NEVER had a problem paying but recently if I have a balance they want cash and/or remind you every time you step in the door. I had a procedure and paid $1000.00 cash and was having a followup procedure two weeks later and since I couldn't pay another $1000.00 cash right then they wouldn't even schedule me for the procedure. Non medical staff is making decisions on patient care and I am being withheld pain relief
