Dr. Melanie Shorter, MD

Always educates me on my options. When needed, sends materials home with me. Listens intently to what I have to say. Decided not to move out of state, because I didn't want to lose her as my Doctor. That was huge! She is the best!

Excellent doctor!

I am a new patient and I only had one visit with Dr. Shorter. She is a sweet, caring doctor but some of her staff are another story. I received a physical with bloodwork done in July 2020. I called numerous times for 7 months. Today February 3, 2021, I called again in an attempt to receive my results only to be told there's no record of my labs being done. So my blood was taken and never submitted to Quest to review. On one of my many calls for a callback from a nurse or Dr. Shorter, I was told by the receptionist, " Well we can't physically make the nurses or doctor call you back." That is the most rudest response to give a patient concerned about her health that I have ever received. It should not have taken 7 months to be told there are no labs on record for me. That's totally unacceptable and for that reason, I am looking for another physician.

Dr. Shorter is very patient and she takes time to really talk with you about your medical history and issues. She is very thorough!

Dr. Shorter is THE BEST Dr. in this world. She is extremely knowledgeable, cares about her patiemts, and will spend all the time it takes to answer your questions. Her professionalism is absolutely amazing. If you want first class health care and awesome patient (customer) service, she is top shelf!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Shorter for a year, and I have been so happy with her office. She’s always been thorough and never makes me feel like she is rushing through the appointment. When she switched me to a new medication, she answered all my questions and even made me aware of all the things I should know to look out for that could be problematic while on the medication. Her nurse is also extremely nice, and I’ve always had pleasant interactions with the rest of her staff.

Dr. Shorter is so personable and knowledgable and takes the time to really talk with you!

I used to go to Dr. Shorter a few years ago and realized she was not ready for the responsibility. She didn't read her charts, she always had one hand on the doorknob like she was ready to bolt the second you stopped talking and she's not a good listener. She doesn't call to give you the results of your tests and at the time she was not affiliated with any hospitals.

I have been going to this practice for about a year now and am very disappointed. I had a MRI and the results were never read and Dr never contacted me I had to see another Dr to find out I had an issue and needed medication and possible surgery!
