''I came to Prof. Merkel after receiving a biopsy result of melanoma, following a recommendation from the Israeli Skin Cancer Association. Prof. Merkel performed a meticulous examination of my entire body, the likes of which I had never experienced before. He analyzed with me the characteristics of my biopsy findings and conducted a risk assessment with me, and recommended treatment methods and preventive measures for early detection of additional lesions in the future. In addition, it is evident that Prof. Merkel is not only a highly professional physician but also an empathetic, sensitive, and caring person. I thank him wholeheartedly for the dedicated and professional care he provided me and warmly recommend him.

''Professor Merkel is first and foremost a human being. And naturally a true professional, who provides an accurate picture of the situation - without 'sugar-coating' and without causing pressure. And this itself instills great optimism. The feeling that there are no shortcuts or compromises. And to sit with him for a full hour, with a broad view of the entire situation - this is truly a gift and highly recommended for anyone who is uncertain. It is worth the peace of mind and sense of professionalism.

There is no need to elaborate on his professional reputation, but beyond his impressive professionalism and vast knowledge, he was first and foremost human, attentive, patient and present.
