    Melanie is an excellent health care provider! She spoke to me in layman's terms and we, not just her, discussed my options moving forward. I left with so much more of a peace of mind.

      Dismissive, note from visit did not match visit at all. Husband went with me to appointment, and we both read office note, and could not believe it was the same visit we attended.

      Melanie was very concerned about my situation and offered alternatives to surgery. She took her time to explain everything. I felt much better after I left. She eased my mind.

      She offered a steroid injection that eased the pain. It should be offered to all. The shot did not hurt. She was fast with the injection.

      Melanie listened to my concerns and explained what I was experiencing. She removed 18 staples without hurting me. She's a very caring professional PA. Highly recommend her.

      I expressed concern about the level of pain in my knee and was concerned about a displacement of the implant. She originally did not think that an X-ray was necessary, but clearly listened to my concerns because she then said that she would order one. To me, this demonstrated that she was exercising good clinical judgment by listening to the patient's symptoms.

      She was nice, but sort of seemed like she didn't really want to be there. Also, ended up hurting me when removing one of the stitch and seemed to show no regard for it. It felt like some of the pain I experienced, while having my stitches removed was avoidable, if she had shown a little more care. She seemed jaded with doing this task. You're literally pulling on people's skin from the inside; care should be shown to try to avoid causing pain. I've had stitches removed many times from surgeries, this was the worst experience I've ever had, having this procedure done.

      Overall demeanor of the PA was awful. Rude and didn't make eye contact. Did not express any concern/ empathy for concerns I had. When expressing a concern, she told me they didn't have options to help me. As a healthcare worker, I know that isn't true.
