    Just moved here and needed a MD., was not happy driving over an hr to see old DR in Spring Hill. I was very happy after first visit with Dr Merritt and his listening and caring abilities. He recognized a problem right away with blood pressure being high and added night pill in addition to the morning pill. Blood pressure now perfect.
