The Modern Doc Chiropractic: Sarah Merritt, DC

Sep 2024

Dr. Merritt is the most knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate doctor I have ever come across. I can go in feeling pain, having a migraine, or just grumpy and negative and I always leave feeling tremendously better physically and emotionally. Trust Dr. Merritt with your body, she is passionate about helping you feel your best and has a number of methods and tools that can help you. Dr. Merritt is genuinely curious about and interested in the human body and is always learning - taking courses, reading, and researching. Even if Dr. Merritt is unfamiliar with what brings you in she will take the time to learn more and figure out how she can best help you. And she really cares about each and every person that sees her, taking time to get to know you and what's going on in your life. I have a number of rare and unusual health conditions and Dr. Merritt has been more knowledgeable and helpful than many of my specialists including pain management doctors. Dr. Merritt took the time to get a full picture of my health and come up with a plan to help me feel better. She even figured out why I was having leg numbness when highly acclaimed pain management doctors could not, despite their extensive diagnostic testing. Dr. Merritt recommended a simple stretch and it eliminated the numbness, saving me from having a nerve burning procedure (radiofrequency ablation) done. She also recommended a series of exercises for a herniated disc, meaning I didn't need a steroid epidural. Because she is always seeking knowledge about the human body and mind, Dr. Merritt is more than a traditional chiropractor. She is like a chiropractor, massage therapist, body worker, physical therapist, nutritional counselor, and life coach all rolled into one.

What a gift I was given being referred to Sarah. I have tried to find a good chiropractor for two decades. I'd given up after SO many negative experiences. From the second I stepped into Sarah's office, I felt so calm. She is so welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and an extremely thoughtful practitioner. Throughout the entire exam, she explained what was going on, what she was doing, and taught me different tools that I can use to keep my body pain-free. I am incredibly grateful to have my sciatic nerve pain completely diminished after only 2 sessions. HIGHLY recommend!!

Dr. Merritt is a newer referral from a friend; at least 4 of us have started seeing her and we all agree she is great. Very attentive, detailed, keeping notes along the way, and not trying to upsell xrays or treatment plans or other things. She is clearly focused on helping people get well. Her office is a bit hard to find, follow the small Modern Doc signs that take you around by the car shops & small daycare.
