    The helpfulness of the doctor.

  • July 1, 2026

    Dr Merryman went above and beyond my expectations. I had been hospitalized in AK and needed a post hospital visit; he came in at 7:30 am so he could see me the morning after my return. He ordered all the needed testing and put my mind at ease, giving me concise instructions moving forward. He called the same day with results of tests and explained everything to me.

    The doctor helped me feel comfortable and less anxious about my circumstances.
