Dr. Merkel is awesome!! He is a kind, caring doctor who listens and makes you feel at ease. I am going to miss having him as my doctor as he moves on to teaching. Hope his students learn all they can from him!!!

Dr. Merkel is a fantastic physician who listens to me as a patient, lays out the options, and makes it very clear what I may be dealing with. I'm appreciative of his approach and manner, his ability to listen, and his feedback.

Dr. Merkel is the best OBGYN at TriHealth, if not the best in Cincinnati.
