Dr Merz is patient and gives his undivided attention to work with me to resolve my chronic pain issues after partial knee replacement 6 months ago. He never makes me feel rushed or down plays my symptoms and continues to offer viable options to resolve. I highly recommend him as your partner with joint care!

Dr. Merz patiently and thoroughly answered all my questions about knee replacement surgery. I had his full attention and never had the feeling that I was just another patient that he had to get out of the way in order to move along to the next one. That alone is worth a 5-star rating. Beyond that, he was quite personable and a pleasure to talk with. I left the appointment with a lot of trust in Dr. Merz.

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.

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 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!
