Premiere Spine and Sports Medicine: Andrew Merritt, MD & Patrick Le, MPT, OCS

Dr. Merritt is great! Always timely! Surprised at previous review. Only once in several years did he have to reschedule, and that was just for the next day. He gets me in very quickly, is thorough and friendly! The Physical Therapy arm of the office is wonderful! Patrick & his team are professional & friendly. You’ll always leave in better shape than you arrived! We can’t say enough good things about everyone from office staff, physical trainers & The doctor!

I am an old school guy who does not do reviews, however, I have to share mine and my daughter's experience with Premiere Spine and Sport Medicine. My family has been coming here for 10 years and having had injuries from tennis, soccer, and mountain biking, We have experienced many places for physical therapy and Premiere is the best of all. My current experience is from a fall I took off my mountain bike and hurt my shoulder. Dr. Merritt, Patrick, John, and Thoi (and the entire staff) have brought me back to my best health. Not only are they fantastic clinically, they are great people who truly care. Thank you for your wonderful care! Tony Mosavi

Dr Merritt conducted an EMG test on me and it was a pleasant surprise. I heard the test was an hour and could be boring, but he was the most engaging doctor I have probably ever met. We spoke face to face for 40 minutes during the test and it was enjoyable! I’ve had a lot of doctor/ specialist appts in the past and there’s an “array of personalities” but he is awesome. He was genuine and conversational. Totally recommend him.

If you find yourself injured or in pain, and are not in need of 911 or an ER visit, this should be your first stop. Dr Merritt is will provide expert care, and explore all of the options available to you to get yourself repaired, even if it is a referral to another physician. His goal is truly to get you better, and if you can be repaired without surgery, he can guide the process. Over the last 7 years my wife and I have been to Premier Physical therapy to work on a few injuries. Patrick and staff are extreme professionals, you get expert care and guidance from the moment you step into their PT studio. They are hands on with your recovery, and take pride in making you well. The fact that they are all good people makes the time that it takes to rehab not such a bad thing. I would recommend them highly to anyone who needs physical therapy.

I went today to visit Dr Merritt, the dr was not at the offc and they didn’t let me know that until I arrived there. We had a facetime call and with the help of an assistant, he was able to make a diagnose and tell the type of PT needed … BUT they were unable to tell me how much I had to pay for my physical therapy. I know my deductible is high. But they say “Without insurance is $75 but since you have insurance it might come up to $150 but we don’t know”, they didn’t think it could be more than $150 per session bc they have not seen other bills for more value than that but they keep saying they didn’t know. They asked me to sort it out with their billing company which told me they don’t do that, it is Premiere physical health who should have that info BEFORE seeing the patient, and it is not the 1st time they get this question.

Almost all of us have been sent to Physical Therapy at one time or another for one reason or another. I have memories of sticky equipment, rotating technicians asking ME why I was there and HOURS of being stuck on a treadmill and left to my own discretion as to when to disembark. Premier Spine and Sports Medicine is so far from these descriptions, these other places shouldn't even use the words physical therapy in their description. First of all, the place is immaculate without a smell of Lysol permeating the air. Whether it is a rainy or sunny day, the solid wall of windows creates an open and relaxing atmosphere. Directed by Dr Merritt and Patrick Le MPT, OCS, this place offers a personal touch I've never before encountered. You're never left alone to, "do your exercises". You are constantly queried as to how things feel or how you are doing. Everyone is knowledgeable, professional and caring. How many people can actually say they look forward to going to their therapy sessions? I dare you to take a survey of Premiere patients...It's like family every day. I feel blessed that my doctor introduced me to Dr Merritt and that Dr Merritt''s amazing care is supported by Patrick's team. If you ever have the opportunity to select your own physical therapy team, check this one out. It's easier to heal when you feel happy and cared for. This place knocks it out of the park on both counts.

Premiere Spine and Sports Medicine is aptly named. They are top notch. Everyone in the office is friendly and smiling even if we aren't when we walk in. We are by the time we walk out. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The PT team is knowledgeable and fun to be with simultaneously. Dr. Merritt helped me with a shoulder problem last year, and when I found myself in trouble this year, I didn't think twice before contacting him again. I heartily recommend them.

This is the third — and by far the best — physical therapy clinic I’ve been to on my long journey of rehabbing my shoulder. Patrick and the other therapists are all highly credentialed, and I’ve had more range of motion improvement here than anywhere else. Plus, the clinic is clean, modern and I never have to wait. I am always see right away. Another thing I like is that before stretching and exercises, they give a 25 minute massage. This really gets me loosened up and so the manual manipulation goes much better. Everyone in the office has a great personality and we laugh a lot. Overall, an amazing experience! I will never go anywhere else for PT!
