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.

I have been with dr. Melissa Thompson for probably for years now I believe and she does not rush me through my appointment I feel that she takes her time and she listens to my concerns and she's very good at following up and helping me with whatever I need help with I don't feel as though she pushes me off as some of my other care providers have

Communication issues around diet and exercise and making goals with the nurse practitioner. Nurse never called me by my correct name. With this office you deal with the nurse practitioner more than you do the doctor.

Such a great person to discuss health with! We recently moved to the area, meaning we had to find a new GP. We could not be more happy with the care she provides!

Dr. Thompson is absolutely the best doctor I have ever seen in my entire life. She is caring, considerate and truly listens and cares about her patients. If I've ever had questions or concerns, she carefully explains them, and make sure that I understand feel confident moving forward. She goes above and beyond her call of duty and is just a wonderful person.
