Dr. Peter Merkel Philadelphia
Ive been recently looking into a weggie dr in pa. Ive seen a regular ruematologists my whole sickness (13 years) and recently she moved. And after reading so much about finding a doc who specializes in wegeners i came across dr Merkel. It would be a much further drive that hershey where i go now...is it worth it? Is this dr nice?

I met Dr Merkel at a WG symposium in Kansas city. His presentations were great and he is one of the funniest guys you will ever meet. He has been doing this a long time at the top levels.

Funny counts for a lot! In addition to expertise and attention to detail, of course. My present doctor is definitely not funny! They say laughter is the best medicine.

From what I've learned, Dr Merckel is one of the best. I'd recommend seeing him .

He left Boston Med just before my appointment with him. Yes, he is a leader in the field. I am very happy with my Doctor Monach, he worked with Merkel.

Re: Dr. Peter Merkel Philadelphia
That is good news. Write down all of your questions for him. Saves precious time and also insures you get ALL of your questions answered. It is easy to get side tracked during a meeting. The list helps pull you back on track if you need it.

Dr Merkel is the man! I called to make my first appointment with him on a Wed or Thurs and he called me back that SUNDAY and saw me Wed. It's a 3 hr trip from the metro NYC area but well worth the trip. Going to see him this coming Wed. Penn med is super easy with a reasonable $ garage right in the building

You might bump into my son there. He's on his way there as well. Lots of joint pains.
