    I have been seen by over a dozen different dermatologist over the years and Dr Merrill is absolutely the best dermatologist I have ever seen. He's actually curious about what I have wrong with my skin and he's been trying to find the best medication to make it better too. I'm extremely impressed with his ability to diagnose my skin problems and then find a treatment too.
