Patient Reviews
Aug 04, 2020
Dr. Merkel abruptly retired without notifying anyone of his plans. While I don't begrudge him his hard-earned retirement, I felt like I was left high and dry when I needed him for routine follow-up on previous surgeries (years ago - not recent) and to refill a prescription. He replaced 2 hips for me as well as restored a torn meniscus and I was very happy with the results. Just not too happy how he up and left without notifying his patients in advance.
