She was wonderful and it was my first visit and I am waiting to have follow-up appointments and also some testing done. So I'll know more better, you know, after I have some test results done.

Dr. Mertens had taken a lot of time to review my situation, my case. I was seeing her as a transfer from my previous pulmonologist. She was very knowledgeable about what had gone on with me and talked to me about it and spent a good deal of time with me as a preliminary get to know a new patient. I really enjoyed the visit.
