I was diagnosed in a E.R. close to home a fall afternoon, a few years ago with a Brain Tumor, a Brain Hematoma, and A Chiari Malformation. The news was devastating as I was a mother of 4. My life changed. That fall was the hardest and scariest times of my life. Thankfully the new year brought in blessings. I meet with Dr. Mericle, and surgeries were scheduled. He and his amazing team saved my life. And if that weren't enough a few years later I found myself looking for help once again Dr Mericle with Dr Logan were to my rescue. This time they keep me from becoming paralyzed. I could never find the words to express the gratitude and thanks I have for this medical staff. They are a bunch of awesome people.
I try and spread the word as much as I can about Dr. Mericle because he saved my life. After battling trigeminal neuralgia for 5 years, he completely cured me of that horrible condition. I've been 100% pain free for a year and a half now. If you have TN, go see him! He's the best.
He saved my life. I will always in his debt. Great bedside manner too.
Collette and Amy are so friendly and compassionate. From a patient's point of view, I couldn't ask for a greater support staff. Please thank them for me. I appreciate their kindness from the bottom of my heart.
Yes, I recommend Dr. Mericle. I was all alone at Centennial Hospital and didn't know the physician assigned to my case. Boy was I blessed to have Dr. Mericle place the coil in my brain aneurysm. I will have to say, Veronica runs the show in that office. She is the best, keeping me and any problems I may have. So grateful! Thanks to all!
Erica Pennington PA, is so helpful and informative. This surgery is going to change my life. Trigeminal neuralgia is slowly killing my "normal" and your practice is giving me hope. Thank you!
Ladies at the front desk are awesome. They handle/treat patients with smiles and are warm and beautiful. Best two people at the front of office, that speaks volumes! Dr. R. Mericle explained what is happening to me quite clearly and it was quite an eye opener pertaining to my health issues surrounding my un-balancedness.
Very good with patients.
