Dr. Lee Merritt experienced medicine first-hand at age four accompanying her father on house calls along the back roads of Iowa. She graduated in 1980 from the University of Rochester School of Medicine in New York where she was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. She completed an orthopaedic residency and served nearly twelve years as a physician and surgeon in the United States Navy. After completing a spinal surgery fellowship she spent over twenty-five years in private practice. She served on the board of the Arizona Medical Association, and on the Naval Research Advisory Committee where she looked at medical defense technology for the military.
