Recommendations

HarvestNewbury, Vermont11.20.11
Dr. Merguerian is a fantastic Doctor who has saved our daughter's life from when she was born August 29, 2005 to current. He has performed many surgeries and reconstructions on our daughter from her cloaca anomaly, repairing of her fistula to bladder surgery and many more. He worked hard to get Rylie to a state were she could function and be as independent as possible. He is very caring and takes pride in his work. We highly recommend Dr. Merguerian. Your child will be in good hands. If Rylie needed another major surgery we would travel across county just to have him perform the surgery on our daughter.

Dr. Merguerian is an amazing surgeon with a very steady hand. He has performed 3 surgeries on my son while he in practice in Lebanon, NH at DHMC. These surgeries were for my son's epispadias fix, initial closure for BLADDER EXSTROPHY, and hernia repairs. Your child will be in good hands with Dr. Merguerian. :)
