She wouldn't see me when I was sick because WellMed doesn't see "sick" people anymore. Why should I use WellMed as my medical office anymore if all they do is send me to other doctors?

    She is always so pleasant and makes me feel comfortable enough to ask the questions I need answered. She takes the time to explain my care and treatment plan in a way I can understand.

    Melissa is amazing! Melissa and Dr Rodgers are my two favorite people. Melissa is professional, always has a pleasant smile and she shows concern and willingness to provide excellent care. I love the fact she listens and follow up. I trust her.
