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.

Always very good and considerate of my reason for the appt.

Excellent
Melissa is excellent, kind, smart and dedicated. The medical office and inner workings of the administration side all linked to the top hospital in grand junction. The patient portals are amazing and make every visit, exam, screenings and more are available minutes to a few hours after. The entire office Melissa, and Community Health is as good as it gets!!!And the negative reviews on here in my opinion are fake, and only surfacing to sabotage a 5 star incredible working office, Dr and system! Go see Melissa!!!

Extremely rude, all they care about is getting as much money out of you as possible. They don't establish long term treatment plans with patients in favor of keeping them sick so they have to keep paying copays.

She thinks she knows it all. As a former smoker who requested treatment with her for a cough, she never ordered a chest X-ray. Thank god we mutually parted ways and I have a real doctor, not a DO. As my new doctor was trained enough to order ct scan X-rays etc. Don’t go if you have any medical issues!
