Patient Reviews
Aug 27, 2021
Always a great patient experience for me when I visit Dr Merrill .Her staff is exceptional. She is very thorough with my eye care. She sets and face me when talking to me, and not at me She listens thoroughly to me. I trust and feel very comfortable with her, and I know she is taking very excellent care of my eyes. Today she announced she is leaving and she referred another opthamologist to me. Me and my wife wish her the best with all her endeavors she is an excellent Doctor.
