I feel blessed to have such a devoted doctor. Dr. Meals takes my well being very seriously, and is very easy to get in touch with for questions and non-appointment visits. A great staff as well!

I have been a patient of Dr Meals for several years. My experience has been that of a caring physician. I am never rushed and I feel she is very thorough. She is at ease in coordinating care with my other physicians. I have no complaints and I am disappointed that one of the hospitals that she uses has not provided adequate care and she is leaving that hospital. She"s always smiling.

I went for months and was finally diagnosed by another doctor with cancer. I had Anemia and was never prescribed iron, losing weight, and night sweats. She kept me lingering for months and finally sent me to a hemotologist/oncologist. I would not recommend her for an ingrown toenail.
