Ben Merbler is great, hoping he stays around for awhile.
March 11, 2026
I could ask for a better group of people to help me with my medical needs. The front receptionists are super friendly and helpful getting you checked in for your appointment. Alex is always on top of getting me ready for my visit with Dr. Merbler. He goes over all the new things I might be taking and what I would like to chat with my doctor about. As for Dr. Merbler he is fantastic. I can't say enough great things about him. He listens and always has answers when I need them. He is especially patient because I can struggle with explaining things, but he always listens.
March 11, 2026
Dr Merbler went above and beyond while providing care. We came up with a plan of treatment and when medications were going to interact or cause side effects he reached out to formulate a new plan. I felt very cared for. He is compassionate and takes the time to listen even when he has a busy schedule to keep.

Comment on this Survey: A number of its questions are irrelevant or outdated, since MyChart often communicates to us (very well) information that this survey assumes "must be" done by people in the provider's office. Dr. Merbler is EXCEPTIONALLY through in reviewing my medical history and issues, and in fact has re-checked a number of old issues that previous PCPs missed. We appreciate very much that throughness, plus as well his always clear and direct communication, as well as his obvious showing of respect for my knowledge about my own health. He's the best PCP we've had in a long time.
December 27, 2025
Much appreciation to all!

I have to recognize Julie and Olivia the front gals. They are both so friendly and helpful. Julie helped me when I called to make the appointment and she helped me get right in. As major surprise was, she was able to get me in with Dr. Merbler. I was just hoping to get in to see anyone in the Ashland office. However, with my doctor that was a real treat. Olivia check me in and she was friendly and super helpful with the paperwork I need to update. Alex as usual is always a pleasure. He listens to me and gets all the info to pass on the Dr. Merbler. As always Dr. Merbler is the best. I can't say enough about how wonderful he is. He listens and makes you feel comfortable and answers all your questions. The Ashland office has a great team and for a patient that has been with Asante Family Medicine from day one I have seen a lot of people come and go.
