I love Dr. Merchant, I’ve already recommended her to other people in person. I had been in extreme daily pain for about three months, she’s the only doctor out of the few that was able to correctly diagnose and treat my issues. I Show moream now feeling normal and pain free because of her care. She was an answer to my prayers. Love that she doesn’t want to rush into surgery, and how she takes her time explaining everything to you so you understand what is going on with your body and how and what you need to do to bring about healing.
I was without a doubt worried about how the procedure would go. I had no idea how she would exam my rectal area. But before, she was calming and spent so much time talking to me that I didn’t even care how it would happen. I neverShow more once felt embarrassed. The exam itself was not at all uncomfortable or painful. For that alone I am extremely thankful. I will most definitely recommend Dr. Merchant.

So far, so good. The doctor is mature and well experienced as well as thoughtful and intuitive. She has excellent bedside manner and explain been in practice for quite a while and is now branching out into solo practice so the office space is a little tight, but sufficient. Friendly staff & medical assistant. Have a little patience with this new practice and get in now while you still can.
Outstanding service. Dr. Merchant is very caring and knowledgeable.
