    Dr. Merritt always takes time to listen to me and certainly explains all test results, options and shows me some of my tests findings. He is very thorough and explains at a level that I can understand. Too bad the shortcomings of other staff do affect the overall opinion of Optum.

    He is both kind and humorous. He answers every question I ask about my health (mental and physical) in terms I can understand. He explains test results and why he requests the tests in the first place.
