Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Intelligent, Compassionate
I feel like Dr. Messitt saved my life. The quality of my life has improved while under her compassionate and thorough care. She puts my mind at ease and helps me problem-solve quickly. I’m ever so grateful to have her as my doctor.

Find a Dr Who Actually Cares
I don't know if she just didn't like me, or if she thinks all women are hysterical & therefore not sick. I saw her for several years and all was fine until I began having thyroid problems. She told me she has documented lab evidence that proves I have thyroid disease, which explained all my symptoms and then spent the next three years trying to convince me she could cure all my thyroid symptoms with antidepressants that I didn't need and made me very sick. It got to the point where she was declining to treat me for anything else because I refused any more antidepressants after she had tried 4 different ones (THAT I DID NOT NEED). Her last words to me after I told her that my Acid Reflux was getting very severe and I was having a lot of stomach pain were: "Sorry, there's no lab test for Acid Reflux." I just stared at her in amazement and replied that I would refer myself to a GI specialist. That specialist found an ulcer, that Dr Messitt probably would have wanted to treat with Prozac.

Dr Amber Messitt is one of the kindest, most patient doctors I have ever been to. She listens to all of my concerns and I never feel rushed. If only all doctors followed her behavior the world would be a better place.

No stars if it were possible. I absolutely do not recommend this Doctor and office. No communication whatsoever. The office does not answer phones. Office voicemail states to only communicate with them through their own website.

Dr. Messitt takes each and every one of my symptoms seriously. She understands that mental health is as important as physical. She is a listener and is incredibly genuine. She is a rarity

Dr. Messitt is the first doctor I've had that makes me feel safe, welcome, and cared for. She has a sense of urgency when it comes to your health, and she cares.
