Dr Merz cares about his patients. He is very thorough and a wonderful surgeon.
Dr. Merz was attentive to my concerns. He thoroughly explained the medical issues with my hip. We agreed on a course of action. I felt the visit was comprehensive and productive. I have a good deal of confidence in him and the path going forward.
Other people reviews of Dr Merz made me want to see him. I instantly felt assured and at ease in his presence. I know replacing my knees is going to be risky and painful. Still with him l felt l will be getting the greatest knowledge and the best of care anyone person can give to another
Dr. Metz was very clear in explaining the cat scan and X-raysof the fracture which could not be repaired by operation—had to healnaturally. He took time to answer all our questions.
Dr.Merz did my right total knee replacement in 2021. I saw him on September 20, 2024 for an evaluation of my left knee. Dr. Merz remembered me from almost 4 years ago and could not have been more personable. He took a lot of time with me and explained the condition of my left knee in terms I could understand . I know when I have my left knee replacement, Dr. Merz will be my surgeon!! He is wonderful!!
He was very patient, didnt rush us & took time to review my history & gave me a few physical tests for movements to understand the issues before coming to any conclusions. He was the break I had been looking for. He gave me a hope by proposing a least invasive treatment option with better chances of recovery which no other Dr had done. For me hes an Angel. Id highly recommend him to anyone based on his expertise , attention to minutest details (he records & takes notes during exams) so as not to miss anything & kind demeanor... read more
All staff were very pleasant. The wait was reasonable. Dr Merz is very focused, I felt that he was listening and hearing me with no rushing. This was my first visit. I think I was lucky to have been referred to a doctor I can stick with for whatever happens with my knee.
I made an appointment for a second opinion for hip pain. When his nurse took us to the exam room, she told us she already had our records from the other institution. I was amazed by her thoughtfulness. She said she likes to look at Dr Merz's future appointments and secure records from other institutions before patient appointments.When Dr. Merz came into the exam room, he was familiar with all my records, including a one-page summary I had prepared for his review. He conducted a detailed physical exam of my hip. After the ex... read more
Dr Merz replaced my very bad knee. Although he said it was complicated and had to use a robotic arm it went well.
