“Dr. Merifield excells in all of ...”
Dr. Merifield excells in all of the areasnthat make for an excwlent physician in my opmion. I have various medical issues which have givme a broad perspective with reqfards to this question above thats being asked. The multitude of many docprs in many mdcical specialties in hopspital settings and outside practicces over half a century have given me a what I believe fairly accurate understanding of all sides as well as the ability to assertain their ability to navigate certain perimeters that are a must while still giving appropriate true care whike yreating said patients. As with any profession there are individuals who excell withon it as well as some that do jot. Those 2 ends of the coin only make up.a very small percentage though with most falling in between in ability, shill levels and communication abilities. Dr. Merifield falls into the very small number of Drs who excell in all areas. Able to communicate with his patients and explain complicaged issues in an effective matter that my guess is he changes depending on the patient abd other complex variables that he wpuld have to qrecognize within moments, which is a nessesary skill for an excellent physician. He is also extreemly kmoleganle in his feild as well as other feilds. While he is approachable he maintains the perfect degree of professoonalism.
