    Carla was awesome, answered all of my questions and provided clear instructions for treatment options to follow after the appointment. Hopefully I don''t need another reason to see her again, but when that time comes I''d gladly seek her out again for help.

It was one of the best care appointments I have ever had.

    Carla Merrick was very informative and understanding of my problem. A problem I had NEVER had before. The advice she gave me for the pain is greatly appreciated. The drugs she prescribed and to use a heating pad for a short (20 minutes or less) time & not to use ice packs was very valuable.
