Merrifield and Associates Vision: To improve the quality of health of our communities by empowering those we meet, making a measurable difference in our world and causing a ripple effect allowing future generations to restore and create a state of radiant, optimal health.

A key to functional and integrative medical care is continuously looking for the underlying cause(s), integrating the data and formulating flexible plans tailored to the person's readiness for implementation. "Dr M' was blessed to have been mentored by great physicians, both conventional and 'outside the box' creative, integrative thinkers. Nutritional medicine, integration of research lab analysis, cognitive therapy, family centered maternity care, Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), Prolotherapy, acupuncture, and Anatomical Pain Point Release were taught along with standard medical school curriculum.  Dr C Northrup, Dr Ilias, Dr Southern, Dr J Wright, Dr Tori Hudson, Dr Whitaker, Dr. S Baker, Dr J Bland, M. Schauss, Dr Cyriac, and Dr C Dean are some of these forward thinking practitioners. They have helped thousands regain their health. Over the past decades Dr Merrifield has continued to research, evolve, implement, and teach this approach for her patients, in her community and to other health care students/providers.

She also developed a cutting edge tracking system where, at a glance, one can see progress or regression from one visit to the next. This indicates a way to ‘change course’ and decide ‘next best steps’ in an efficient way.
