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.

I just wanted to reach out in hopes that Dr. Meriden might see this.. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! My Mom is much better now, THANKS TO YOU! I was really very worried about her & you were most kind, compassionate & helpful. You will always have friends now, here in Parker, Colorado! May 2023 bring you everything wonderful & good health to us all!

Takes his time when I’m there. Knows his craft well. I truly believe I’ve gained years on my life because of his care. When I first went I did not like him because he got on me about my condition. But during the second visit he asked me to trust him. As I listened and he learned more about me he worked with me. He changed things up as needed. I now have A1C under 6. I have the Utmost respect for him and the staff. Thank You! Bob

Dr Meriden is very persistent in his care of patients. He wants to see them succeed and is will Ingrid to do what needs to be done. Sometimes there are instances where his methods are old fashioned but they are practical.

I have been seeing Dr Merriden for about six years. During that time I have found him to be a genuinely kind person who really listens to what his patients say. I feel like he sincerely cares about his patients well being. My health has improved under his care and the quality of my life is better thanks to Dr Merriden. His staff is a great combination of friendliness and efficiency. Every office visit has been a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Dr Merriden.

I have been seeing Dr Meriden since 2006 when I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My case had some initial challenges but he got me through them and has managed my care well ever since. He is respectful, kind and friendly, but no nonsense when it comes to managing your health concerns. He answers my questions and takes my concerns seriously. I have never felt rushed or brushed off. His staff is friendly and caring and greet me with smiles when I arrive. I have recommended him to others and will continue to.

I have total trust in Dr. Meriden's practice. I have been patient for over 20 years and have recommended him to several people I know. He is very caring of his patients as well as his staff. The decisions he has discussed with me have always been to my best interest. I hope he never retires.

I regularly visit Dr. Meriden for treatment of hypo thyroidism (acquired) and type II diabetes. I have been under his care for about 3 years. Due to his care and treatment I have lost 50 lbs. and only have 5 lbs. to go to reach my goal. My A1C has dropped and is in the range of a normal person. I feel Dr. Meriden has turned my life around for the better.

This Doctor has gotten my diabetes under control to where my A1C runs about 5.5 for over a year. My thyroid condition is well monitored and maintained by Dr. Meriden. I have enormous trust and faith in Dr. Meriden. He has brought my endocrine health to a great place. I wish I had met him at the beginning of my illnesses. I believe he could have brought everything under control much sooner. I absolutely love this man!

Dr. M is completely thorough and genuinely cares about his patients. He'll always take time if I have questions etc. Always listens carefully. The term "under a doctor's care" was made for dr. M! Under his care my thyroid and metabolism problems are being well managed.

Dr. Meriden truly saved my life I was in pretty bad shape from being misdiagnosed from other doctors with my diabetes. His staff is amazing and kind and since my dad was recently diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 80, I could not be more relieved to have Dr. Meriden treating my father as well. You are awesome Dr. Meriden. Keep up the great work.

He is always on time. I did not want to be put on insulin, so I came to Dr. Meriden. Between him and I we are working on getting my weight down, and myA1C down to 5. Together, we will do this. He is extremely helpful.

Going to Dr. Meriden was the best decision I ever made! My weight had skyrocketed in spite of good thyroid test results performed by other doctors. Dr. Meriden teaches you how to be “healthy”; he equips you, monitors you along the journey and provides ongoing guidance and support at every visit. He is extremely knowledgeable and attentive to your success. And, is not afraid of challenging you when necessary. He has been treating me approx. one year and I have lost 45 lbs. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Meriden to anyone who needs diabetic, thyroid or weight management care.
