I had Dr. Merz replace my right hip in 2020 and was very pleased with the outcome, so I chose him again for my left hip replacement on Dec 31, 2024. So far everything is going well from this latest surgery. I have been happy with all of my experiences with Dr. Merz. He is always willing to listen, answers questions thoroughly, and seems extremely competent. I also recommend NC Specialty Hospital, where both my procedures were done. It is an excellent small hospital with knowledgeable and caring staff.

Fantastic! Hip replacement surgery went well. I would highly recommend Dr. Merz to anyone considering a hip replacement. Also highly recommend North Carolina Specialty Hospital where the surgery was done.

Dr. Merz did a hamstring repair on my right leg. He told me in advance that the post op recovery would be challenging and really prepared me for the process. I'm 3 months post op now and doing great. I can't thank Dr. Merz and his team enough. They are all fantastic!
