Support Groups

Facebook Support Group

Are you on Facebook? If so, for patients of Dr. Merriman ONLY, we have a closed and private Support Group

Not on Facebook? It is easy to sign up. All you need is an email address. Many patients have joined Facebook just to be a part of this group which is so critical to their pre and post operative support.

Click here and then click "Join Group" to be a part of this support group.


Support Groups

Support Groups are held for Dr. Merriman's Patients and their guests (no children please) in person, once a quarter in our office at 949 Olive St. They are held the second Thursday of the month in the months of February, May, August and November. Email and Facebook reminders are sent out prior to the group meetings.

These groups are also videoed and shown LIVE on Facebook on our Closed, Private Support Group Page. They can also be viewed later by clicking the VIDEOS tab on the page.
