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 Merkel is my favorite Dr but I can't see him and neither can my kids. Dr Merkel needs to see patients at least one day a week in downtown Huntington wv and accept unicare

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Merkel?
He might be nice, grumpy, forgetful or being a recluse you never know what to expect (whiplash). Big on non-committal treatment (fear of being sued?) Staff are horrid people. Appts are usually 2-4 wks out (policy). Leave a message and its a disaster. IF you get a follow up call message you left generally gets relayed so many times (inaccurately?) that the response you get a week later is off base. Long story short....Dr=Dr jekyll & Mr Hyde. Staff is RUDE & unhappy with their job/life.
