I VOLUNTARILY went to Doctor Merritt, choosing NOT to go to Pain management,
And it was A TERIFYING Decision but I DID IT! And it was a GODSEND, that helped me after 13 YEARS on Percocet,
Now I'm NOT HOMELESS anymore, I Have a JOB after FIVE YEARS (Cuz of Surgeries)
But now I have to TRy to mend as MANY fences as Possible! The Pills, while helping DRASTICALLY with my PAIN but I NEVER knew how MUCH pain I was in....

Dr. Merritt and her staff are courteous and always ensure medications are accessible even when insurance and supply cause issues. I am grateful she took me on as a new patient with such an extensive history of issues and chronic pain specifically because I have exhausted injections being medically indicated. For the first time in 20 years, I am sleeping more than a handful of hours per week. I was looking into filing for disability and now I feel functional again.

I just started seeing Dr Merritt who I believe is going to help me tremendously. Dr. Merritt and her staff made me feel very comfortable about switching doctors. Dr. Merritt is going to help me with my knees and hip also which my other doctor could not do. I finally have hope that I don't have to pick and choose the days that I need to feel good.

Dr Merritt and Lifestream Health Center have been the most important part of my life dealing/living with chronic pain. Dr Merritt is extremely helpful and will go down a list of different treatments until something works. I owe my life to Dr Merritt and the team at Lifestream Health Center for helping me when so many other Drs wouldn't.

Dr. Merritt and her staff has always been professional and courteous with me. It has been very easy to make appointments when needed . When having a procedure she talks me through it and will tell me what's coming next. I appreciate the care and professionalism she gives.

Dr. Merritt has been such a blessing to find after many failed practitioners. She is compassionate, professional, an out of the box type of practitioner, and she not only listens but also hears you. She has been the only one who has been able to assist with proper pain management as I deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. No other practitioner that I have had has ever truly listened and was compassionate about what I was going through. She and the staff at Life Stream Health Center have made the switch so worth the drive I make to see them. Dr. Merritt is fantastic and I truly appreciate what
