Clinton F. Merrill Jr., M.D.
Welcome to my website. With over 45 years of experience in clinical Internal Medicine and 36 years in Medical Oncology and Hematology, I have dedicated my career to providing top-notch medical services. If you need an expert medical witness in the fields of Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology and Hematology, I am here to help. Explore my site to learn more about the comprehensive services I offer and the wealth of experience I bring to the table.
My expertise spans the diagnosis and treatment of all types of solid tumors, along with a comprehensive understanding of hematologic malignancies.
I possess a special proficiency in benign hematology, encompassing areas such as anemias, low blood cell counts, iron overload disorders, and bleeding and clotting disorders. I take immense pride in my ability to provide a thorough review of records, meticulously researched reports that reflect unbiased opinions, and excellent communication skills.
My strength lies in making complex medical concepts understandable.
I was raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming in a medical family. My father was a general internist and my three younger sisters are all nurses. My wife, Lisa, was raised on a farm in Yuma, Colorado and is a medical technician who now has a thriving business restoring and painting used furniture transforming them into true works of art. We have six children: mine, her’s and ours. Erica just turned 40 and is a small animal veterinarian in Seattle. Aaron is 38 and is a nurse, also in Seattle. Sierra is 33 and is a hair stylist here in Laramie. Bailey is 31 and is a social worker, also here in Laramie. Our two youngest sons were adopted from Ethiopia in 2008. Nati is 23 and is a diesel mechanic in Cheyenne and Kidus is 19 and an electrician’s apprentice here in Laramie as well. We now have 4 grandchildren: Lillian, Lane, Dawson and Brooke.
In my spare time I enjoy landscaping, carpentry, stained glass, playing the guitar poorly and just puttering about.
Professionally, I specialize in medical oncology and hematology. My experience encompasses the diagnosis and care of all types of cancer, with a special focus on blood disorders such as anemia, abnormal blood cell counts, clotting disorders, and bleeding disorders.
I firmly believe that the heart of medicine lies in spending time with patients and truly getting to know them. Honesty, kindness, and a sense of humor are the cornerstones of a good doctor/patient relationship. The greatest compliment I’ve ever received was from a patient who described me as a ‘blue collar doctor’ - a testament to my dedication and down-to-earth approach.
