What Our Patients Are Saying
Dr. Merianos did my daughter's emergency appendectomy. He and his team were thorough and communicated all information very well. He performed the procedure as explained and ensured we were informed at every step of the way.
We had an excellent experience with Dr. Merianos. Our son required emergency surgery for appendicitis, and Dr. Merianos was kind and thorough with his explanations of what the surgery entailed and what we should expect immediately following and for the initial post-surgery days. From our son (9): “Dr. Merianos will tell the patient what he is doing before he does it, so the patient knows exactly what is going to happen.”
Dr. Merianos is incredibly knowledgeable, with the bedside manner every parent wants for their children. No parent wants to see their child go through surgery, but if it does need to happen there is no one better. Could not be happier with our experience.
