Dr. Merrill not only listened to my medical concerns he gave me suggestions as to how to help alleviate some of the problems with over the counter help. And he suggested a long term plan for a genetic issue that has to be medically treated. I was so very pleased with my care. Thank you Dr. Merrill!
