I love that Dr. Merz takes the time to explain everything and answer all my questions. None of my appointments felt rushed. My hip surgery was successful and I am living my life pain free.

Dr. Merz has a reputation among other providers and patients as being a excellent surgeon with consistent great surgery outcomes. He's clear, compassionate and caring. Just had my second hip replacement with him and wouldn't RH think of choosing anyone else!

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.

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.
