I was very pleased with the doctor's care. He is very professional, kind, and provides excellent patient care. I would like to recommend him to everyone I know. I am very grateful to him and hope to see him again. Thank you.
The whole staff is always so pleasant. I feel like family and I also receive the care I need.
Very grateful for the attention given.
it was a pleasure. My appointment was made within a week.. Friendly staff and clean office. Compare to North well, you are ace's and they can not shine your shoes +++++++
Yeah. Good afternoon. I was asked, I had an appointment with Dr. Merchant at 1.30 or 2.30 I think. The office called me and asked me to be there. Can I go there an hour, hour and a half earlier? I said yes. I was there for about an hour, hour and 15 minutes. 15 minutes earlier than I was asked. I still waited for about 30 minutes before I had a nurse or assistant doctor or whatever came over. He spent a few minutes and an assistant doctor came over. He spent about 20 minutes. The actual doctor came over after almost the exact time I was given, which was 2 to 2.30. I was very disappointed.
