Comments: I had broken my humerus bone in 3 places, shattered my rotary cup and when Dr Merriman told me my options I must have looked like a deer caught in the headlights. In the most sincere of voices he said, “ If you were my mother I’d do this.” From then on he continued to treat me with the care and concern of a son. Took me through every step of the surgery and follow up with the utmost care. Answered all my questions and concerns. Helped with any decisions of which I was not sure. Built the best relationship over my treatment time offering his continuing guidance in the future. THE BEST!!!
