Melissa is the ABSOLUTE BEST! I would never go to another OBGYN. She is explains everything to me with care and a tender heart. She absolutely cares about her patients especially a patient like me who has extremely anxiety. She is comforting and supportive yet completely 100% knowledgeable in her medical field. I wish all doctors were like her and she should get a raise. I love her I will definitely bring my daughter to her once they get their periods

I was blown away by Melissa. I felt seen and really heard for the first time in years. I even teared up in my appointment from relief of feeling like I'm finally in the right hands. She showed as much concern for my complaints as I do. I felt like we were having a conversation and not so much Q&A, like she really was listening and responding. She is so pleasant and easy to talk to. She explained everything very thoroughly and was even knowledgeable about a skin condition I have that not many providers are experienced with. I have already referred someone to her and will continue to do so.

Melissa was truly phenomenal. So attentive to detail, so kind and caring. You could tell she really takes her time with patients and goes the extra mile to make sure all questions are answered. She made me feel so at ease and I appreciated her taking her time with me.

I no longer want to see the NPs at this practice. I felt pushed into decisions that I didn't want to make and my last visit was so focused on another topic that I didn't hear by baby's heartbeat. I love my OBs and will only be scheduling with them from now on.

Ms. Buddha was exceptional. This was my first visit with her, having changed from my previous provider to have all my gyno practitioners in one office. My experience with her was great. She explained her perspective on my future treatment well and noted that she was familiar with my surgeon, who Is in the same office (this Is why I originally made the appointment with her). I was very happy with her and I look forward to continuing with her.
