Dr. Merchant has been my psychiatrist for four years. He has consistently focused on education, progress towards goals, and effective symptom management so I can adhere to my medication regimen. He has shown genuine concern and empathy during every interaction. He is always professional, while also providing a safe and casual space to have open and ongoing conversations about my medications, symptoms, resources, and quality of life. I truly respect and admire him as a healthcare provider and psychiatrist.
