Patient Reviews
Dec 24, 2024
Dr. Merkel has been my breast cancer oncologist for 4 years now. I feel very confident in his care. He is knowledgeable, caring, patient, understanding patient fears, up to date on research and experienced. My first, hopefully my last, experience with cancer treatment and happy with the continuous followups every 3 months. Would not want any other doctor. The staff at Kellogg at Glenbrook and Evanston are professional and kind. He personally responds to North Shore connect messages within 24 hours. Also lets you know test results with comments.
