I was seen quickly, got X-rays, and then saw Dr. Merritt. I loved that he listened to me. Too many doctors do not listen. He gave me alternatives, the results of my X-rays, and said he was willing to try the shots. I agreed. So far, I feel so much better. It may not last, but, again, he had an answer. I found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I will return and have him be my surgeon when the time comes.
