took her time to really understand my issue and start a plan
What a great experience visiting this office. The wait was short. The staff was very helpful. Everything was handled in a modest way. Dr. Merchant-McCambry took her time to listen and took extensive notes. She gave a very thorough examination and did not rush. She took time to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed. She had me feeling better before I walked out the door. My prescriptions were filled promptly without issue. I would give this experience 10 stars if I could!! This is one of the kindest doctors I have ever met. She made me feel safe and valued. I highly recommend her!
Today was a follow up. Dr. McCambry explains everything she is doing and takes the time to answer my questions. I always feel at ease with Dr. McCambry. Her front staff is also very professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this practice.
Dr. Merchant-McCambry is amazing! I went in for what I had been told was hemorrhoids and she immediately told me that was a wrong diagnosis and I needed to get to the hospital right away due to an infection. She came to the hospital and took care of my surgery herself, but I had to spend five days there due to how bad my infection was. I am so glad I got lucky she was there that day, I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't been.
So far, so good. The doctor is mature and well experienced as well as thoughtful and intuitive. She has excellent bedside manner and explain been in practice for quite a while and is now branching out into solo practice so the office space is a little tight, but sufficient. Friendly staff & medical assistant. Have a little patience with this new practice and get in now while you still can.
Outstanding service. Dr. Merchant is very caring and knowledgeable.
Dr. Merchant-McCambry is an expert in her field. I saw her years ago and received an expert diagnosis, which other physicians overlooked. I am seeking her expertise again. Her bedside manners are superb. She explains and provides details on a medical (my) level. Thank you
My special needs daughter was carefully and respectfully treated. I appreciate that Dr. Merchant-McCambry listened to my concerns for my daughter and was frank and honest. Lois W
My daughter was treated with great care and respect . The exam was done as gently as possible.
Dr. Merchant-McCambry is very kind and understanding and listens carefully to your concerns I would recommend her to other family members.
Dr. Merchant did an amazing job of helping explain to me what to do to have better health! She is wonderful.
I was without a doubt worried about how the procedure would go. I had no idea how she would exam my rectal area. But before, she was calming and spent so much time talking to me that I didn’t even care how it would happen. I never once felt embarrassed. The exam itself was not at all uncomfortable or painful. For that alone I am extremely thankful. I will most definitely recommend Dr. Merchant.
She is very professional.
Incredible care and dedication from this practice. I always feel like I’m their priority and not just another patient.
Great bedside manner, she listens n is attentive to the patients needs.
