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.
Dr. Merline asked how my PT has been going and if it was helping. I let her know it was and she let me know once it was completed if I needed more that I could request more. If I needed anything else to let her know.

Merline's was very helpful and showed care during the visit. We discussed different treatment options and she helped me better understand treatment and medication authorizations. Though the appointment felt a little rushed, I know it's not her fault as providers are given a very limited amount of time to address patient concerns. Overall I'm happy with my visits with Merline, I feel like she listened and addressed all of my concerns.
