Dr. Merkow is a gifted neurosurgeon. He recently performed Lumbar 4/5 spinal fusion surgery on me. He implanted 3 plates, 8 screws, 2 rods, a disc spacer and a ground cadaver bone implant in my spine. My surgery lasted 7 hours. I’m giving him a 3 star rating because after I woke up from the surgery (sedation) he watched me moaning, writhing and weeping in agony, like a striken lab rat, for an hour before he felt I deserved strong pain meds. My family was also in tears. Shame on you, Dr Merkow!

Dr. Merkow was absolutely amazing! He was extremely patient and kind, and carefully explained everything until we had all of our questions answered, In the end we decided to go ahead with the surgery option and to have him do it. We were not sorry -- a fellow neurologist even came in afterward and said it was the finest clipping he'd ever seen! I can't thank you enough, Dr. Merkow, for saving my brother's life!

I am a physician and I appreciate Dr. Merkow's thoughtful, kind approach. When you find a surgeon who does not jump to grabbing the scalpel, that says a great deal. He is exceptionally well-trained.

Both staff and Dr. Merkow were friendly and professional. My diagnosis was explained clearly and understandably. I felt valued as a patient, and adequate time was spent with my issues and the recommendations for ongoing treatment.

This is a very easy recommendation to write. From our first meeting I was sure that this was the right doctor for me. Dr. Merkow put me at ease, explained all aspects of the upcoming procedure, answered all my questions clearly and at length leaving me with no doubt that this was the correct procedure for me. He was there for me after surgery and during my stay in hospital.
