“I’m fully committed to my patients. I take the time to get to know each patient as an individual, complete a thorough fertility evaluation, and help each woman conceive with a healthy baby. I’ve helped hundreds of patients have successful births. I treat each patient as if she is my only patient,” says Dr. Merhi.
Dr. Merhi understands that infertility can be a stressful and challenging time in the lives of those trying to conceive, and he strives to put his patients at ease with superior care and concern.
