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.

Definitely will be missed!
Excellent care for approximately 18 years! The staff at LaFayette Clinic has always been excellent from PA Hudak who followed my care as well and Nurse Angie who administered my infusions. Ms. Angie is a wonderful Nurse and pray I will come under her care again in my lifetime! Dr. Melton is retiring in about 2 months and I will truly miss her. She is Excellent in what she does and is very well known in the medical field due to her services. I have had medical personnel on Fort Bragg praise her for her work. I pray she enjoys her retirement and continue to be the GOAT! ( Greatest Of All Times!) ??

It would be nice if she at the very least saw her patients every once and a while and asked them how her staff was doing. My mom hasn't been able to see or speak to Dr. Melton for over the last 6 months!

I, have been a patient of Dr. Melton, for many years, and have received excellent care in regard to my Rheumatoid Arthritis. My quality of life while on the treatment was very good. I am anxious to resume my treatment soon.

Very caring Dr. Beware that their lab for blood work may not be covered by your insurance. That was the case with my husband. SHE did over a 1000 dollar's worth. We would have went some where else for blood work if we had known

I've been a Patient of Dr Gwenesta Melton for many many years! She's been a lifesaver for me. I'd have less of a quality of life if it wasn't for her! Compared to other Dr offices as a whole the wait time is so very minimal. I know if we have to wait longer than normal at her office w/a scheduled appointment, it's because she truly has a patient emergency they're taking care of. I'd hope that if I came in & she found I had a medical emergency she would give me the time I need as well. God Bless
