Robert A. Mericle's Online Review Report Card

I saw Dr Mericle and his staff 10 years ago for Trigeminal Neuralgia. It was doing one of the most painful times of my life and him and his associates took care of me each time I made the 3 hour drive to see him. I’ve been blessed to be pain free for 10 years but I would recommend him to anyone needing neurological help.

I’m a musician for a career who had trigeminal neuralgia. I had MVD by dr Mericle Oct 2021 and have been completely cured since and am so grateful. Unfortunately my hearing on my surgery side is very much damaged. I was told under 1% chance of hearing loss. I now know that was a lie because the office never has asked me about my symptoms in the 2 1/2 years out of surgery, so how do they know the numbers? I have spoken to other patients of his, some also have hearing loss, some don’t. I do think he’s great but I also think the information that was given to me pre surgery was a lie. I also have facial numbness which isn’t a big deal all things considered. The hearing loss has been life changing though. Having said that, so is not having TN. I just wish I was given factual information instead of a made up number. With a surgery this big they should be sending out surveys to patients to see how they’re doing post op for at least a year or two but that’s not the case, so be aware.

After my surgery i have never been able walk again or use my left hand. My sight and hearing finally came back. The Hospital was the worst I've seen. I still can not eat solid foods, can not swallow. My life went from really bad to worse. Im so dizzy i cant work and am financially ruined. After the surgery they don't seem to care. I recently had another MRI done. Having not heard a word. Now i wished i had gone to another surgeon and a different hospital., but they got their money! Looks like disability for the rest of my life. Hope they are enjoying walking around and eating solid foods. Wished I would have died during surgery frankly.

He helped my husband with a spine fracture. Glued him back together.

Dr. Mericle has been treating me for an unruptured cerebral aneurysm for the past 16 years. He is thorough and explains everything to myself and my family. I recently underwent surgery to repair the aneurysm. He is the compassionate, kind and cares about his patients. I can't imagine having to see someone else. He gets 5 stars and beyond from me!

I have been a patient of Dr. Mericle's for the past 16 years. He explains everything and has a great bedside manner. He repaired an unruptured brain aneurysm and he saved my life. He and his staff are wonderful.

VERY DISAPPOINTING I did a virtual visit consult for TN. I wanted MVD surgery. I waited to 2 weeks for virtual visit and the PA only spent 5 minutes with me and said that Dr. Mericle would call back later in day. He did call but started conversation with "here are 5 reasons why DVM surgery is not for you." I am 21 with TN classic symptoms & L side hemi facial spams. I felt not listened to because of my age, gender and the fact I have Ehlers-Danlos hypermobility, a history of migraines ( completely managed). He said my dose of gabapentin pain meds were highest he has seen, and I explained i was in so much pain, meds used to work but now I need higher dose and I had reaction to other meds. He said, "that is a bummer" REALLY? I waited 2 weeks with the expectation of talking with very highly regarded doctor. He said a young person's MRI would show compression clearly. (NOT TRUE) I am bedridden, can't brush my teeth and can only have liquids because any eating spurs an episode of shocks.

Dr Mericle is the best. He did my mvd in March 2023. I am still healing but no PAIN. I could never thank Dr. Mericle enough. His name says it all he did a miracle for me .

Excellent surgeon, very personable and professional, keeps family informed during procedure. Highly recommend for any neuro surgery.

My experience with Dr miracle was wonderful I had suffered 21 years with trigeminal neuralgia and with four short hours of surgery my pain is gone I could never thank him enough. With the help of the good Lord Dr miracle performed a miracle on me thank you so much Dr miracle
