"Wonderful experience for my first colonoscopy. Everyone was very personable and professional including Dr Mertz. Highly Recommend. "

"Could not have asked for a better, more caring doctor than Dr. Mertz and his staff. He started treating me in 2008 while I was in St. Thomas West hospital and has be taking care of me ever since. He genuinely cares about his patients."

"I was referred to Dr. Mertz by my internist. Mertz' office called and we set the colonoscopy procedure for Monday. The caller indicated they would mail me prep instructions. I specifically asked that they also be emailed to me. Upon verifying my correct email address we ended our call. I waited the rest of the week for both the mail and email, neither of which ever arrived. I was to begin prep on Sunday for a Monday noon colonoscopy, but without instructions, I made the assumption that Dr. Mertz' practice was being managed poorly. If they can't handle simple information properly, I have zero confidence they can handle detailed technical / medical information any better. I refuse to be treated by any doctor in that practice."
