He saved my life. I will always in his debt. Great bedside manner too.
PA was nice and thorough. Answered long awaiting questions.
I can not thank Dr. Mericle enough for giving me my life back after performing my MVD surgery.
I have always received a very pleasant welcome at the front desk. All staff have gone out of their way to answer all my questions and concerns, even when I called. Dr. Mericle and his staff are a welcome relief from other doctors offices.
Very professional. Takes time to answer and explain all questions. Happy with the whole staff.
I have suffered many years from Trigeminal neuralgia and I am finally without pain. Thank you to everyone in your office. You have been amazing.

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!
