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.

Wonderful
Dr. Melanson is patient, thorough and stays very calm and at ease -- and this is coming from someone who is very, very anxious and needs that desperately. I went through an extreme health condition and two pregnancies - and while I liked most of the providers at BMG OBGYN , I was always happiest with Dr. Melanson.

I HATE DOCTORS. But i love Juile.
She was kind and understanding. When she knew something could be unpleasant, she warned me and tried to get done fast. I highly recommend her.

I was worried about test results that before she said could be false positive but if I test positive again then to call her to discuss. Called the office and was called back by a rude receptionist/nurse who basically talked to me like I was stupid and she was so loud I bet the whole office heard my personal medical business. If you don't want to talk to me fine but please don't pass the message to a rude condescending monster Called a nurse. I was going to her for years before that, even had a appointment for a procedure but after that I canceled my appointment and found a new OBGYN.

Explains well and does not rush through the appointment. Gives enough time and attention to think up any questions and concerns that i might have. I like her calm and relaxed demeanor. Had her through out the pregnancy but had dr Samadi the day of delivery. She was good as well.

I a royal pain when it comes to getting my yearly exams done, but first time after seeing over 5 OB/GYN's, I found Dr. Melanson to be excellent!! I switched to her at the tailend of my pregnancy as my OB was scheduled for vacay. I thank God for that hiccup as it led me to her. She's very understanding, great listener, and quite calming. Love my first time favorite OB!

She talked to me like I was a child and even told me some of my questions about my own body were irrelevant because they would not change my treatment plan. Whether they change the treatment or not, I should be able to get answers about my own body. She also spent zero time getting to know me, and did not seem to remember me from a previous appointment that was only a few weeks before.
