​Support appointments for current on HOW TO EAT for OPTIMAL METABOLIC HEALTH: Dr Merrifield may have some time available to help in this most important area of health. She is connecting with a certified MACRO and EXERCISE coach who may be available. Currently she is pregnant and due Sept 2025. I will keep you posted. Bring your 'HOW TO EAT" binder with your filled-in tracking sheets.
- Since Dr Merrifield is not taking on new patients at this time, we invite you to be on our email list for updates. You will receive a gift of Chart Tabs to help set-up your Personal Medical Record when added to our email list plus a free bottle Mood Food (also known as Eskaloft on Fullscript), one of our popular nutrients since 1997.
- If you are interested in learning more about Functional, Integrated Care, please read through this website and join our Fullscript E-Store for free tips and guidance.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COPIES OF YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS: Nothing is stored in an Electronic Medical Record here. It is all hard copy secure. After each visit since 1997 you have been given copies of all labs, notes, consults and imaging. Therefore, you have a duplicate of your records from Dr Merrifield. She gave you medical chart tabs and has asked you to keep your records over the years.
When seeing other providers, take copies of your own to share with them as we do not have an Electronic Medical Record to forward copies. If they request copies of your records from us we will let them know you have been given copies of your records to share and can bring them. If you want another copy there may be a charge as it is labor intense.
Most of your data and history is already available in the digital medical files. The ones they will not have are the functional medical tests results, which you have copies of.
TIPS on seeing other providers:
- When you see any provider for the first time write out your chronological history of your complaint. Where were you born and how was your health as a child? When did you start to become unwell? What were your symptoms? Whom did you see? What was done (tests, treatments)? Did it help? Did you experience any side effects? What are your primary concerns.
- This will save time and help organize your thoughts. It will help time efficiency at your visits.
- Know who your current insurance is and their out-of-network coverage.
- Bring copies of recent labs, x-rays, surgeries, consults etc for review.
- Make a set of records for yourself and put them in your binder with the binder tabs we have given you.
