Melissa as always was GREAT. Melissa is very compassionate and explained everything thoroughly about my results, what to do next, and made sure if I had any questions or concerns before leaving the room. I am very fortunate to have her as my OB/GYN, she is the BEST!

The provider didn't seem to care about wanting to figure out the root problem. Instead, she just told me to take meds to treat my symptoms.

After explaining muy concern on why I was visiting her that day she seemed like she didn't really care and she also made faces as if I was talking crazy non sense. I feel like she dismissed my concerns and didn't really try to keep me at ease.

Care provider and office staff didn't act as if they were In a rush with your care unlike previous care providers I have experienced. Was willing to listen to you with patience. Great care provider to have as a first time pregnancy experience!

Dr. S made me feel so comfortable and was so professional. It was so peaceful. I was informed of the processes, procedures, and the resources provided to me alleviate a lot of the challenges I was facing as a new mom. The way she listened and took time to address my concerns was amazing as she didn't rush, but did everything necessary to ensure I was taking care of. Her care is par excellence.
