Dr. Lee Merritt has been in Medicine since age 4 when she carried her father’s black bag along the back roads of Iowa. She graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1980, and was awarded lifetime membership in the Alpha-Omega-Alpha Honor Medical Society. She completed an Orthopaedic Residency and served 10 years as a physician and surgeon in the United States Navy before returning to Rochester where she was the only woman to be appointed as the Louis A. Goldstein Fellow of Spinal Surgery. She is past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, served on the Board of the Arizona Medical Society and held a Congressional appointment to the Navy Research Advisory Committee. During her more than 40 years in medicine Dr. Merritt has been an advocate for private practice, cash pay, patient centered medicine. She appeared on the John Stossel show to argue against Obamacare, and now is working to wrest her profession and patients from the clutches of the Medical Death Cult.
