"Mercy asked me to arrive 15 minutes early, even though I had filled out the online paperwork. I did so, but the provider was 15 minutes late to the exam room. Result: 30 minutes lost time... it is 7 weeks from now! Too long, especially when I am in pain every night! I am discouraged."
— Birdeye (Patient review of Mercy Clinic Orthopedics)"One of the most compassionate and knowledgeable providers that I have ever encountered. Mercy has the best. Thank you."
