Dr. Merriam chose to pursue a career in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology, not

only because of the challenge of balancing quality primary healthcare, with acute care

and surgery; but also, because of the unique opportunity to encourage and educate

women, and improve their health awareness. In joining Southern Connecticut Women’s

Healthcare Associates, he is dedicated to providing outstanding medical care, and

forming long-lasting relationships with the patients that he cares for.
