    She is amazing!!! This was my first visit to Banner gastroenterology. I have had numerous colon problems and I brought all the documentation to share. She read my summary and asked SO MANY questions. Her scribe entered all the pertinent information to my new file. Because she is no longer doing clinic, she referred me to another colleague for further research and study of my issues. This visit was the most thorough appointment I have EVER had. She was genuinely concerned. And a true researcher. UA is so lucky to have her. My only regret is that I will not be able to see her again. Many thanks.

    Lovely person, easy to speak with. She spoke with me and not at me. That is huge. I felt like she was listening to me. Nice lady, very intelligent, didn't have a condescending attitude like a lot of physicians will portray.

    Well educated, you could tell she new what she was doing. She spent more time with me than I expected getting all the info she needed. I have a lot of respect for her.

    Dr. Merchant and her team are so thorough. They follow up with what is needed and if there are any additional procedures or appointments, they contacted me right away to get those scheduled.
