Patient Reviews
Jun 21, 2023
If i could give Dr. Merle a zero i would. Please people don’t send your elderly parents or grandparents to this place. My Mom begged for help from this women and she failed her big time. She suffered from cancer for years but she wouldn’t send her to a specialist until it was too late. My mother called this clinic begging for pain meds and they wouldn’t give them to her, they were so violently rude to her and made her cry at the office.She was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. She finally got pain meds 3 weeks before she died. This doctor did not help or nor care about her needs. She let her suffer so long. Dr. Merle you should have empathy for your patients especially the elderly. Now my Mother is gone and i cry every single day. I will for sure let everyone know what a horrible doctor and person you are. You should be ashamed you could’ve saved my Momma.
