Dr. Melinda Teresa Fudge, MD

Far more interested in outside calls that she allows to inerrupt a patient's appointment. Very distracted by other things. Does not listen to patient requests or concerns.

She is in no way interested in the health or wellbeing of her patients. Just in it for the money.

poor judgement

Dr. Fudge is very open to making changes in medications based upon your reports of how you are feeling and doing. If something is not working, she will try something else and make adjustments. She always seems to have knowledge about new treatments as well. She takes a wholistic approach and is very kind and supportive.

Courteous. Supportive. Caring. Collaborative.

Professional. Courteous. I would highly recommend.

stay away ,dangerous

Dr. Fudge is always available and willing to discuss treatment options that are available. She is a caring doctor and was very supportive and encouraging when I was recently having an increase in symptoms. She takes into consideration your feelings and experiences with medications and collaborates with you to figure out what works best. I have been to other psychiatrists and she is, by far, the most knowledgable and supportive one I have encountered.

Exceptionally ignominious and unprofessional from her bedside mannerism (or lack thereof) to the common consideration and civility that a doctor should have for their patients. Dr. Melinda Fudge frequently does not check her voicemail which often times makes it impossible to try and connect with. It often times takes over a week (if you are lucky) for her to return your phone calls. She is also very defensive and caddy in her mannerisms. For example, if you politely voice concerns or objections concerning her decisions pertaining to treatment, she takes this as aggressive and confrontational behavior. Seems sweet and soft spoken, but can, and possibly will, lash out at patients and say outrageously rude comments towards that patient. Lastly, Dr. Melinda Fudge has the ability to act on the manner in which a rebellious teenager would i.e. rolling her eyes, cutting you off, not letting you speak, arguing, and criticize with damaging words. I would NEVER recommend her to anyone seeking… help from a psychiatrist.

Dr. Fudge is absolutely wonderful. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but she is caring and actually listens, which is something I had found lacking in my previous psychiatrists. She is knowledgeable, and works with you. Overall, an excellent experience.
