Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Merchant's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained what to expect each day and when to ease off the meds. I'm back to walking the dog now, slowly. The follow-up call from his nurse to check on my pain levels was a nice touch.

I was so nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Merchant has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones, and never made me feel rushed. The hospital was busy, but in his room, everything felt quiet and managed. My recovery has been smooth, and I'm just so grateful for his kind manner through it all.

Finally got my umbilical hernia fixed! After putting it off for years, I saw Dr. Merchant. What a relief! The man knows his stuff. The surgery was quick, and I was home the same day. The incision is tiny. I was eating normal food that night. Two weeks later and I'm already feeling so much better. Wish I hadn't waited so long!
