I can not thank Dr. Mericle enough for giving me my life back after performing my MVD surgery.
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.
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.
PA was nice and thorough. Answered long awaiting questions.
Very good with patients.
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!
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.
