James A Merriam II, MD | Greenville, SC

Meet James

I attended medical school at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC. In addition, both my residency in internal medicine and fellowship in cardiology were completed at the Medical University of South Carolina. I truly enjoy helping my patients with cardiovascular disease restore their health and wellbeing. I consider myself fortunate to practice cardiology in the upstate of South Carolina.

	July 2025 Dr. Merriam is the best. I have finally been blessed with a great medical team that actually care about me and my wellbeing. Dr. Merriam listens to me and takes pertinent notes to remind him on not just me but what I am going through. He takes everything into the care path and discusses this with me and we decide together the best action plan. He knew I was recovering from allergic retro contrast to echocardiogram and nervous about my test results. He eased my worries. We have a plan in place. I can now rest. Thank you for Dr. Merriam and the entire team at Bon Secours Cardiology. The greatest blessing ever!!
