Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Merritt is my hero. I have met him in the OR almost twice a year for 10 year for a routine procedure. The results of his work is amazing, his surgical team is fantastic and the pre-and post op nurses are phenomenal. Today’s visit was #15+ (we have lost track), but the best pre-op and recovery time frame were a record! Thank you!

Dr Merritt saved my life. I was sent to him for a 2nd opinion. He immediately diagnosed me with Thymus gland cancer. I was told I had stage 3 lung cancer and went thru chemo and radiation treatments from a previous facility before being sent to Dr. Merritt at The James. He very calmly says.....I can operate to get the cancer. I will never forget that moment! Thank God for 2nd opinions and thank God for Dr. Merritt. He always greeted me with a hand shake and a smile. I will always remember this!
