Doctor Melde is the first Doctor I've ever had that didn't just prescribe a bunch of pills to me. He is a good Doctor and listener.

Dr Melde is wonderful, listens and understands. Back office staff is also pleasant. The office manager however, was not accommodating following a billing error. No apology, no plan to prevent errors in the future. She was quite rude.

Dr. Melde is a WONDERFUL doctor. I really felt like he cared about what I was talking about and he explained all my concerns. He was great with my 2 year old girl and she was comfortable with him, which is rare because she is shy. Wait time was normal for a doctors office and I was able to schedule a follow up with ease.
