Dr. Andrew Merola, MD

"I have nothing against the doctor, Merola it was the best thing that could have happened to me, his surgery was magical and the recovery was very fast, but the people who work with him are people who are not human. I have been asking for my medical records for over a month and a half and they only keep evading me and saying that Fridays are the days they send them. And what has happened in five weeks that no one has sent anything to me or to the hospital that is requesting it. I am about to have a C-section and they need that information and these women who do nothing in that office have not sent the information yet. My name is Norma Gutierrez and I need that record.. ASSAP."

"Dr Merola is AMAZING!!!! I had risky spine surgery January of 2012. Dr Merola came in on his day off to personally preform the operation. I was so scared and nervous, he immediately took my hand and told me it's going to be ok. He was kind, caring, & compassionate. Dr Merola came to my room everyday to checkup on me. I couldn't thank him enough. I wouldn't trust any other Dr with my spine. He is simply the BEST!"

"Dr. Merola just performed surgery on my back last Tuesday. My whole experience with him and his staff has been exceptional from the beginning. His office staff are warm and professional. Dr. Merola is genuine, compassionate and has helped me feel comfortable knowing that I am in capable hands. Dr. Swartz, who referred me said "Go see Dr. Merola. If you need surgery he'll tell you. If you don't, he'll be honest with you." I have other back pain that Dr. Merola told me that I'd have to learn to work with using physical therapy and stretching exercises. My point is that he is not doing random surgery to make money. He was the last face I saw before going under anesthesia. It was so comforting knowing that he was a well regarded surgeon in his field and he cared about me. What a difference that has made throughout this process. I have been able to get out and resume my life since Wednesday with restrictions. Thank you Dr. Merola and your lovely staff."
