Throughout her career, she has been committed to building long-term relationships with her patients and helping them achieve their healthiest, most active lives.

Dr. Merrick provides comprehensive primary care for adults ages 18 and older, with special interests in preventive medicine, wellness, fitness, and women's health. She is particularly passionate about helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause, using evidence-based strategies to optimize health, energy, strength, and quality of life. Her approach combines traditional internal medicine with a proactive focus on helping patients stay healthy, active, and independent for years to come.
