The other reviewers said it all. But I have to get to 50 characters. Adjectives that apply to Dr Merrell: intelligent, highly educated and keeps up with all the new research, kind, explains things, diagnoses correctly and prescribes effective treatment, addresses lifestyle as well as physical status, teaches without being preachy, always respectful and never condescending, great photographer (there is a time lapse photograph of the constellations going around Polaris in his office.). Is that 50 yet?

Dr. Merrell is a fine, knowledgeable, family Physician. He is compassionate to my needs no matter how small they may be. He has helped me in so many ways and I would highly refer him to anyone that needs a G.P.

All doctors should be this knowlegable, caring and competent. After 3 weeks of severe, disabling illness with no end in sight, he diagnosed me & began treatment in one visit. I am better already, 2 days later. He teams with other doctors as needed, he will go call another physician right then, when you are in the office. Very thorough with assessment and intake and exams. Friendly office. He is board certified Internal Medicine.

Dr. Merrell is a good, thorough phsysian. He's friendly but no nonsense. Shares knowledge. Kind and considerate.
