Excellent doctor! I have used her for years. She REALLY listens to everything you have to say. Getting older isn't easy, but Dr. Merkel makes it easier!

I just moved to the area a few months ago and I had to choose a new PCP. I think that she is a perfect fit. She listens, she cares and she is very helpful.

We have been seeing Dr. Merkel for years now and she is great, of course I love all of the dartmouth staff. She is very patient and truly cares about her patients . I mean if she can have patience with me, a widow with 4 kids and all my drama that shows how much she cares.

Dr. Merkel is by far the best Primary doc I have ever had. She listens, doesn't judge and she generally acts like she loves to be a doctor. I would recommend her to everyone.

I love Dr. Merkel! she is the greatest - always takes time, answers all questions, makes helpful suggestions, never judges, never assumes, never supposes - is just a good doc and a good person. She is the best of many primary care physicians I have been to over the years. She is forthright and is a great listener. I am crazy about her.
