Dr Mellinger found out my problem after the X-ray. He diagnosed what I had right away, trigger finger and took care of that right away. Great Dr. had him do thumb surgery a few years back and that was the best surgery I have ever had. Thank you Dr Mellinger.

The office staff were very pleasant and thorough The office is clean Dr. Mellinger seems sincerely concerned, although I felt he was a bit rushed. I know he’ comes from Flagstaff, & needs to see as many patients as possible. But I did feel like I had his full attention, concentration and genuine concern. He comes highly recommended from my circle of peers working in medicine.

I was recommended to Dr. Mellinger. From the time I arrived until I left, I felt cared for. The staff was kind and patient and explained everything. Never felt rushed or stressed. It was the kind of experience people dream of when visiting the doctor. Dr Mellinger took the time to explain what was happening to my hands and offered solutions. I truly felt his compassion and knowledge. I highly recommend Dr. Mellinger and his staff.
