Christopher Merkl

Dr. Merkl is an excellent psychiatrist. Houston is lucky to have him, especially the work he does in skilled facilities. He met with my sister, a total care patient with primary progressive MS, while she was an inpatient at Garden Terrace.The medicines he prescribed helped return her to the beautiful person she was before she got sick and angry. I will always be indebted to him for that. He also helped me to understand my sister by recommending several books. His manner with me was always professional, but even if it hadn't been, he is smart, experienced, and his recommendations worked. I own a home care agency and have occasion to run across Dr. Merkl when our clients are in facilities. I trust his diagnoses and recommendations. They work. Dr. Merkl is an excellent psychiatrist.

I had to post one star in order to even post a review. I don't know how this "Dr." is still practicing, especially on our elderly loved ones. My own experience with him regarding my mother was horrific at best.

What a nasty human being.

He was the most arrogant, insulting, uncaring doctor or person I have seen. I did not ask to see him and he would not talk to my husband who was in the room. He came unannounced. I would not recommend this Dr to anyone. I don't see how he could be on the staff of any medical facility. VossWood should not have a person doctor see their patients and certainly not write in their medical records. He ruined my day several times. He would come at the most horrible times and ask me questions - out of breath while exercising, etc. like where are you, what date is this, who is president time. Horrible, horrible experience!

He diagnosed my mother with Alzheimer's even though he performed no formal tests and mother had already been diagnosed with vascular dementia from a neurologist. He wanted to keep her on such heavily dosed medications that it became impossible for her to get out of bed. We have now switched doctors and mothers memories are where they were 4 years ago. He never returned calls or listened to the family.
