List of Ira S. Merkel's Reviews
Although he is good at his profession and seems like a nice person, he becomes quick-tempered and curt easily.
Reviewed On HealthGrades
I've been a patient of Dr Merkel for 15 years. He's simply the best!
Reviewed On HealthGrades
I have NEVER written a review about anyone but I must say, Dr Merle is by far the most arrogant, rude Doctor I have ever met… told me my pain might be in my head…asked me if I was in an abusive relationship…curt and nasty

I have been seeing Dr. Merkel for over 10 years and have always found him to be a caring and honest physician that is also a straight shooter about your condition and does everything to resolve issues. He contacts colleagues to help when necessary and is very dedicated to his profession. That has been my experience! I am surprised reading some of the negative reviews Dr. Merkel has received. You can't please everybody.

Merkel is arrogant, curt, rude and crude. Poor bedside manner, uncaring and belligerent. Staff has similar poor attitude!

Choose someone else. He may be skilled and experienced but he's also rude, insulting and dismissive. I actually dreaded going to him. He spoke about me not TO me. Horrible bedside manner and never allowed me to ask questions or even speak. I had very bad experiences and would never recommend him.
Reviewed On Vitals
Dr. Merkel is extremely caring and takes time to explain concerns/procedures to put the patient at ease. I often recommend him to family, friends and neighbors.
Reviewed On HealthGrades
I went to Dr. Merkel after freaking about some hemarrhoids, and simply based on some online research. He is really good at what he does and you can tell he thoroughly enjoys it. Added bonus is that he was incredibly warm, funny, sweet and understanding about what was bothering me even though it was not that big of a deal, and tried to help me figure out alternative solutions. I am younger and hopefully wont need a GI again for a few years, but I know where to turn if I need one.

Selection Criteria
All the information you see here is based on our analysis of internet reviews across the seven major review platforms most used by consumers during their healthcare provider selection. The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals. The analysis algorithm uses the compiled data of average score, recency of reviews, number of reviews, and the sentiment expressed in the written comments. It then assigns weight to each parameter based on the available research on how consumers use reviews in their doctor selection process. This report is designed to help identify the doctors with the best overall review score in an area and does not reflect the doctors' competence.
