Dr. Merritt had replaced both of my son's hips, and he was back in the gym in 10 days and doing great. Both of Michael's legs were the same exact length after each surgery. I would not consider seeing anyone for my knee problems but Dr. Merritt. He is professional, compassionate and treats his patients with the care and dedication that you do not find anymore. His knowledge and expertise cannot be found anywhere else. He is a people person and has a real sense of making his patients his primary focus.
