Review for Dr. Bajoghli
Dr. Merlo and his staff were very professional and courteous during my recent visit for an extraction. The treatment was surprisingly smooth with very little discomfort before and after the procedure. Dr. Merlo provided clear answers to my questions and a helpful proposal for a follow-up process.

Review for Dr. Merlo
Colonoscopy was extremely harsh. Don’t know if it’s her or me? But People I talked to and articles I read is telling me that it should be that harsh. It is possible that she wasn’t gentle and push forward like she would for sedated patients.
