Dr. Melissa Sum, MD

I have been seeing Dr. Sum for years and I am so grateful for her care. She is incredibly kind and professional and thorough in her appointments. I never wait long and I never feel rushed. She has ordered additional test for me simply to ease my concerns and she is very reassuring.

I saw this doctor for two appointments. The first she was actually really nice and understanding about my symptoms, and she ordered a lab and they all came back normal. She suggested I schedule a follow-up when I asked her a few months later about the possibility of PCOS, and talked about ordering an ultrasound. When the follow-up appointment came along, she didn’t bring up PCOS or the ultrasound at all. She was patronizing me and it was such a 360 from our first meeting. She said twice throughout our talk “I’m an endocrinologist” like I didn’t know what was, that’s why I’m here to test for PCOS like you talked about. She was implying I was wasting her time. She also said near the end that health comes in many different forms and talked about my ED in my medical history, which came off as insinuating the weight gain I discussed with her was somehow related.
