Excellent experience

I've had several doctors in residence at hundred Oaks dermatology. Emily Merkel is one of, if not the best. Wonderful bedside manner, and did a great job on surgery she performed on my arm.

My doctor was very kind and did a great job with me for my first visit with her

Dr. Merkel is extremely thorough. On my first appointment with her, she detected that turned out to be a melanoma. She earned my trust from day one. Today she took some biopsies. Skilled, professional and caring of my comfort. I hope she stays with Vanderbilt for a long time. And, remains my doctor.
