August 26, 2022 (Taylorsville, NC) After 45 years in medicine Dr. Steven Merrill with Taylorsville Family Medicine is retiring. “I consider my time at Piedmont HealthCare to be the most enjoyable over the many years I have been practicing in the Taylorsville community says Dr. Merrill. I am thankful I could continue seeing my patients in a stress-free environment and leave them a place they can be happy to call their “doctor’s office” for years to come”.
Dr. Merrill has served the Taylorsville community for 42 years. He attributes his greatest accomplishments in his career as “having the opportunity to deliver babies in Alexander county and then getting to watch them grow up, become adults, and even have children of their own who I get to see as patients”.
“Dr. Merrill has made an incredible impact in the Taylorsville community. His commitment to providing the highest quality of care for his patients went above and beyond what is expected of any primary care physician,” says Jeffrey Smith, Chief Executive Officer of Piedmont HealthCare. “On behalf of Piedmont HealthCare, we would like to thank Dr. Merrill for his many years of service to the Taylorsville area and we wish him all the best in his retirement”.
With retirement in view, Dr. Merrill is looking forward to devoting more of his time to his medical mission work locally and around the world. He will also be continuing his biblical studies, teaching bible groups in the church, as well as continue writing Christian-based books.
Dr. Merrill’s last day in the office is September 1, 2022. Dr. Andrea Wurzer, DO will be transitioning into Taylorsville Family Medicine as its primary physician on September 8th, 2022.
