My family, and I have been seeing Dr. Meleks for over 20 years. She is very professional, caring, compassionate, and understanding, Her assistant Jose is the same way, and they make a perfect team treating all there patients with kindness and respect. It always feels like a family environment every time I go there. I've got to know the staff, and they are helpful, friendly and caring as well. The wait time is usually very short, sometimes right on the nose for the appointment time. I recommend this doctor to anyone, or to any family. Steven Hlinka

Long time patient she is close to my home ....... Wait time is 30 - 45 minutes Rushes through apps and hard to understand her accent. Needs to slow down so patients can understand She may be a great dr but hard to know if she doesn't take time to explain or listen. First thing you're asked " any complaints"? You feel like any health issues are viewed as complaints rather than a legitimate health-issue.

I found the staff to be very apathetic. And rude at times, ignoring people waiting to speak with them. I had trouble understanding dr Meleks accent and she didn't listen to my concerns, seeming to want to rush the visit. She had over powering strong perfume on. Had a lot of trouble getting timely referrals, return phone calls, etc. I would not recommend her. I have a much better dr now

Dr. Meleks , her assistant, and staff working directly with her are excellent. The front desk nurses, however, are often very slow and painstaking!
