Dr Merz did my knee arthroscopy surgery 2 weeks ago and I am feeling great! He is a really good listener and skilled surgeon. Also I am very impressed with the Southpoint Surgical Center. I had superb care there. Wonderful nurses.

"He always gets a good outcome." I heard those words about Dr. Michael Merz more than once from receptionists, Physician's Assistants, and nurses at Emerge Ortho. After my total knee replacement fewer than 8 weeks ago, it is now clear why. I am 69 years old. I opted for a total knee replacement to continue playing respectable golf. 12 days after surgery, I pedaled an exercise bike. 3 weeks after surgery, I had little need for a cane. 4 weeks after surgery, I walked a mile and mowed three of our lawns in one day. Also in Week... read more

If you are looking for a hip-replacement surgeon, you've found him (I can't speak to knee replacement). Great surgeon, great bedside manner. He did my hip-replacement on an outpatient basis; I went home the same day, was walking with only a cane after a week or so.

Dr Merz never made me feel rushed during my appointment and answered all of my questions. My knee surgery was very successful and I would highly recommend Dr Merz.

Dr. Merz is truly a gifted surgeon. Over the past two years he has done a complete knee replacement on both of my knees. He has fantastic bedside manners, he is patient, he cares about your “story “, always gives different options to consider, and as a patient makes you feel comfortable with the decision that you choose. I highly recommend Dr. Merz for any knee or hip issue! Dr. Merz is in the field of medicine for all the right reasons!

I would highly recommend Dr Merz to anyone needing a TKR. He totally won me over when he sat on the patient’s table with his Star Wars socks on display to listen carefully to my questions and concerns regarding my surgery. The surgery itself went exceptionally well with no complications and his staff stayed on top of any needs or questions I had, even calling to check on me a few times. 5 weeks post op, my incision is clean and healing well. I can already see that it will be barely noticeable. My experience with Dr. Merz has... read more

I met with Dr. Merz, primarily to get a cortisone injection in my knee for my arthritis. He was delightful to talk to and took my mind off the pain of the injection. And, he patiently answered all of my questions.
