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.

Visit with Melissa was great.
Everyone was very helpful and polite!

Takes time to listen without judgement
Melissa is nonjudgmental, listens to and addresses my concerns, is generous with her time and does not criticize my short coming in diet, weight and lack of exercise. She has a very positive attitude and is empathic and gracious.

Ongoing Care
Melissa, always ask about any concerns about gastro health since last visit. She then proceeds to discuss any concerns she has. She is very easy to discuss whatever issues that have come up. I feel she is taking excellent care of me!

Highly Recommend Melissa
Melissa is an excellent health care professional and I highly recommend her for three reasons: First, she is extremely knowledgeable and capable. I have absolute confidence in her technical expertise and diagnostic skills. She is prepared, knows everything going on with tests, medication, medical history, which gives me assurance that someone is quarterbacking the process. Second, she does an outstanding job of communicating what she sees, the recommended treatment strategy (what and why) and what to expect as treatment unfolds. I left my last appointment feeling like I clearly understood and was in complete alignment with Melissa regarding my treatment strategy. Third, she has a gift for caring and compassion that is extraordinary. Melissa is a good listener, she has empathy for patients, doesn't rush the process - all of which is greatly appreciated, and creates an overall superior experience.

A Healthcare Professional You Can Trust
Melissa is one of the best examples of what a healthcare professional should be. She takes the time to find a solution to your health issues and she truly cares about you as a patient and a person. Melissa has made a real difference in my life for the better and I can't recommend her highly enough.

She is the absolute best!!
I've been seeing Melissa for 6 years and although I moved over an hour away several years ago, I very willingly make the drive to see her. She is very thorough, incredibly kind, and makes it feel like I'm seeing a friend whenever I see her instead of someone she is obligated to see. I've never had a problem cone up that she didn't help me through, and I feel so lucky to have found her when I was diagnosed with my problems. Melissa is the best!

Doc Baughcum
She was 1000% amazing. Actually listened to my symptoms, thoughts, and what I have previously done to try and fix things on my own. Took past medical history into consideration and didn't just jump to conclusions based on surface level information. Honestly, an absolutely lovely interactions and would recommend Dr. Baughcum's services to anyone I know.
