Dr Melissa is absolutely amazing! She is both knowledgeable and compassionate. Finding a Dr who is as up to date on the latest research and has a wonderful bedside manner is rare. My son usually hates going to doctor appointments, but he actually looks forward to seeing Dr Melissa. She helps to ease my fears and concerns too, which leaves me also looking forward to our visits.

She is so knowledgeable and personable. She remembers details about our daughter from prior visits, both personal and medical. She takes her time and answers all questions throughly. We drive over an hour for appointments with her and it’s so worth it.

Dr. Melissa is the sweetest, most caring person I could hope to have leading the charge taking care of my son. She is highly versed in this critical field but also helped my son feel comfortable in her office which means he doesn't fear or dread a process he has to do so frequently. As a parent, I feel heard when we go over options and I know my son is in great hands.

We have known Dr. Melissa for 8 years between two hospitals. She has treated my son well. We requested she to be our son’s primary nephrologist, changing from another doctor in the practice. Unfortunately, that request was neither heard nor acted upon. When my son was placed on hemodialysis, no effort, by any of the doctors in the practice, was made to transfer him to a proper pediatric dialysis center. Instead we were falsely led to believe that home hemodialysis through DaVita was possible. When that narrative changed and I questioned why it changed and first asked for, then demanded an explanation, the doctor/patent/parent relationship with another doctor in the practice became extremely strained.
We finally got our son into a proper pediatric hemodialysis center on June 3, 2020 after 18 months of hemodialysis and in one month have seen major progress; fluid volume off is now tolerable without cramping, unnecessary medications have been eliminated.
