Services
With old fashioned values and today's education and technology, Dr. Merrick performed thumb basal joint surgery due to severe joint arthritis. He successfully restored full movement and strength to my thumb. Most recently, I had a small cyst surgically removed from my forehead and after several weeks it was virtually undetectable. Thanks Dr. Merrick!
