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. Merker was attentive and responsive. In fact, he saved my life! Yes! he listened carefully, took time with me, kept track of me. It turned out that I had a life-threatening blockage to my heart. - prior to seeing Dr Merker, a top NY cardiologist sent me home.. ( I guess he wasn’t yet aware that heart problems present differently in women than men; and merely attributed my symptoms to psychological distress) it’s a miracle that I found Dr. Merker. He is worth waiting for. He literally saved my life.

This doc is geriatric alright, he's out of touch w/ modern medicine, even w/ the medication that was already on the market b/4 he was even born & he told me the side effects of Levothyroxine DOESN'T INCLUDE diarrhea, when I checked then went on WebMd & Medicinenet.com & it clearly stated diarrhea is one of the size effects & I was LITERALLY dying ever since I started the med w/ that multiple sides effects! I think he should retire b/4 he get his license yanked! He's too old to practice medicine!

I had to call the office over 10 times to get this doctor to call me back. I patiently waited over 5 days for a call back to go over my test results. On the 6th day I called again and he had the nerve to tell the receptionist to tell me my results still didn't have the professionalism to pick up the phone and talk to me about my results. Very unprofessional and I won't be returning as a patient or referring him to anyone.
