This was my first visit with Melissa. She was excellent! She was both personable and professional. She took plenty of time to help me get a much better fit on my Cpap machine.I did not feel rushed at all. She went over my numbers of the past month and answered my questions. I am well satisfied with her care and will be seeing her again as I need to.

I have been seeing this provider for several years. I have not liked her much. This time, she was quite a bit more supportive. In my last visit, I felt like she was blaming me for problems I was having with my device. I was quite offended because I was doing my very best. This time I was determined to not accept any blame. Surprisingly, she was much more supportive and even acknowledged at the end that using a CPAP is not easy. I was quite pleasantly surprised.
