We asked Dr. Merchant!
- What do patients say about you?
-
- I’ve been told that I am very patient and have a calming demeanor. I take the time to explain the condition, how it affects the individual, and how we can create a plan for their improvement. I also make sure to include parents in the discussion!
- What is the #1 tip you always share with patient families?
-
- Stretching and ice packs! Seriously, we all need to stretch more.
- How do you spend time with your friends and family for fun?
-
- I enjoy biking, playing tennis, surfing, and snowboarding. I also love sitting on the couch with my family and watching a funny movie.
- What do you enjoy most about New Jersey?
-
- All the sports and activities I enjoy can be found right here; not many places offer that. New Jersey boasts incredible diversity in both geography and culture, making it a fantastic state to live in. HMH recognizes this diversity and understands the importance of uniting communities.
