Dr Merkley is the best doctor we’ve ever been to. He’s very knowledgeable and explains things in a way that we can understand.

Dr. Merkley is so good with my kids! I have one shy one and one friendly one and he does good with both of them. I appreciate how personable he is and how he takes his time with kids before just jumping into his exam and scaring them forever. He ensures I’m comfortable and that my kids are comfortable.

Our daughter always smiles with Dr. Merkley (she does not talk yet). He always takes time for her before the exam.

Dr. Merkley is the kindest, most caring physician we have ever worked with. He spoke to us in a very personal way that made both Jax's parents feel seen, heard, and comforted that we were doing enough for our little one. He really calmed our fears and addressed all our questions.
