There's something powerful about a Mercy Flynn, who not only brings skill and knowledge, but also…read moredeep compassion to every patient. When someone in medicine listens with their whole heart, treats each person with dignity and respect, and goes the extra mile even when no one is watching, it's a glimpse of God's healing presence in the world. That kind of care reminds me of how Jesus moved among the sick and hurting--never rushing past their pain, always seeing the person behind the illness. Mercy is a phenomenal lady who truly understands and cares about her patients. "He had compassion on them and healed their sick." Matthew 14:14

But I felt informed the whole time and I feel like they do the best they can with what they got, they didn't break the bank for an antibiotic prescription like most of the surrounding clinics would have.

My experience with Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi has been pleasant and satisfactory…read more I went under Dr. Bruce Mertz after my lifelong family doctor down the street (Schulze Sr.) finally retired and I have the former office to thank for the good referral. Dr. Mertz sets his patients at ease. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, offers prevention advice, and has a very proficient practice. The paperwork that is shared with the patient is modern and easy to follow. The admin help visibly work off the options of the health insurance I am using. The low waiting times with the waiting room and exam room have been impressive versus what I read of elsewhere. The overall operation is set up to run efficiently, which is too rare in the healthcare industry. The waiting area is large, clean and well-kept. I would recommend this practice to family and friends.

Professional, timely, efficient and courteous are just a few words to describe my experience with…read moreFamily Practice Associates of Corpus Christi. I was waiting hours and hours in the waiting room of my previous family practitioner and it was becoming a burden. He was a wonderful physician but the wait time was just too much. Luckily I found Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi and was accepted as a new patient. That was about six months ago. Both my wife and I switched to Dr. Mertz. Dr. Mertz is fantastic. He doesn't beat around the bush, answers all our questions with a thorough explanation, and has a very proficient practice. Both my wife and I have seen Dr. Mertz several times since becoming his patients and every time we only spent five to ten minutes in the waiting room and only a couple minutes in the exam room before Dr. Mertz came in. I only wish I had found Dr. Mertz when I retired to Corpus Christi in 2005. My life would have been much better from a medical standpoint. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention his staff and the waiting area. His staff is wonderful in every regard. And the waiting area is large and clean. If you're considering Family Practice Associates of Corpus Christi, don't hesitate to give them a call. And by all means as to be assigned to Dr. Mertz.

He waited for 3 hours in his car only to be told they would not be rapid testing him. He was sent to the ER. He did test positive. It was important for him to get quick results because my elderly mother has too many health issues to name and we needed to know the results. Additionally, he had been around my 93 year old grandparents. This is a poor business and health practice. If I could give less than one star I would. Choosing who gets a test and who doesn't is ridiculous. My son was rapid tested in Dallas. He was in and out in 5 minutes. THAT IS THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE DONE!
