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.

Best Dr EVER
I love how she communicates with my husband and I. We never feel rushed and I always feel important when I leave. I highly recommend her not only on how personal she is, but also on how up to date on medicine she is in general. Any questions we have, she answers them quickly and efficiently.

Can’t say enough good things!
I’m an older woman who ended up having to go to a GYN for a health issue. Dr Melissa Pettis was highly recommended to me. At my age I have been to a lot of female Ob/Gyns. Meeting Dr Pettis was like a breeze of fresh air! She just kind of flowed in, sat down, introduced herself and we started talking. What an absolute DELIGHT she is!! She was insanely knowledgeable about her work, serious and funny, with personality plus!, and most of all listened very intently to you. She did not make you feel like anything you said was not important to her and asked you questions about how you felt about this or that pertaining to the issue, of course, with your best interest in mind. I feel blessed that I am able to be her patient. I have no reservations at all about recommending this wonderful, kind, knowledgeable Dr. You should not even think twice about choosing another Ob/Gyn if the need arises for you. She has a super nice staff, as well!! Oh, and did I mention she immediately puts you at ease
