Always a good visit
Dr Melo was able to see me the same day and scheduled diagnostic imaging, which will give me peace of mind regarding some worrisome symptoms I'm having.
Dr. Erika Mello is always up to date with my health issues when my visit begins. She doesn't miss a best.
ILove my doctor she is very thorough about my health
The doctor I have, Dr. Mello, is always truthful and honest with me and tells me what I have to do. And that's what I want to hear. So she's really good and she's very honest. I like that. Thank you.
Dr. Mello is very thorough, easy to talk to, and always considerate of my personal dislike of needles. It's just one of the ways that she shows me how well she knows me. Much appreciated.
Dr Mello always listens to my concerns and never makes me feelRushed
Dr Mello is extremely knowledgeable, up to date, great bedside manner. Would not want anyone other provider but her. Thx for asking.
I called my PCP after hours and received great guidance from the after hours triage nurse. She then gave me the earliest sick visit appointment available. My PCP, Dr. Mello, called to check on me later that evening and bumped my appointment up by one day. I felt so cared for!
Everyone in this practice is kind and friendly. You are made to feel comfortable and relaxed. Dr. Mello listens carefully and is respectful of my decisions.
Dr. Mello understands my health history and does address my issues. The reception staff and nurses are also pleasant. I have no complaints at this time.
Seen in a timely manner. Staff very welcoming and friendly
[Name] [Name] is always pleasant and helpful. All the other staff were professional and kind. Dr. Mello is a great doctor who is a great listener.
She knew all about my visits and tests with another doctor
My visit went well. Everyone I dealt with - the two women in the reception area, the medical assistant- i was professional, polite and friendly. The facility is always very clean - spotless.Dr. Mello is easy to discuss issues with; she is kind, professional and a great listener. She has been my PCP for many years.
Dr Mello and her medical assistant were very thorough. I never felt rushed. I was able to voice concerns and felt validated.
The new system recording the appointment was to give the provider more time to spend with me but I felt it didn't change. More concerned about the recording and typing then facing me eye contact. This time I was not impressed.
Dr Mello sees me promptly, listens to me carefully, and always has my best interests at heart.
I appreciate Dr Mello and her staff taking the time to educate themselves about my disease, which is really only beginning to be recognized and treated. They were honest about their initial lack of knowledge, then fixed it. All while treating me with care and respect. It is not easy to find a doctor who will treat ME/CFS. I am grateful to have found one.
I was provided an appointment when I called in very quickly. Nurse was extremely friendly and helpful! Front desk staff were also very friendly and helpful!Md not as friendly but helpful!
This provider is absolutely excellent, always answers my questions, I never feel rushed and she's very busy. So I just think Dr. Mello is the best. Thank you.
Dr Mello is very comprehensive in her care and treatment. My health has improved with her help
Always able to be seen, never a long wait when in the office. Staff is professional and courteous.
Great provider. Great staff. Wait times to be seen are long.
Love Dr Mello so very patient and understanding. I appreciate and very happy that she is my primary physician!!
I had to sit in the exam room for over half an hour before the doctor came in to check me.
This was my Wellness Visit. Dr. Mello and her medical assistant always listen to my concerns. They seem interested in my life as well as my health.
Good interaction with staff and PCP Erika Mello. Thorough review of my labs and discussed my conditions and gave me thoughtful recommendations for future treatment course. She is easy to talk with and explains everything very well. I am happy to have her as my new PCP.
Everything was great. The staff was excellent. When I checked in the woman who took care of me was probably one of the most positive and friendlest people I've ever dealt with in that office. I really love Dr. Mello. Her knowledge of my health made me feel like I mattered. I would highly recommend her
Everyone I came in contact with today was SUPER GREAT !!!!
I was seen 75 minutes after my appointment time started, it was an early morning appointment so there was not a lot of time for it to get behind. It was frustrating to wait an hour in the room to be seen for 10 minutes.
I love Dr. Mello. She is a caring, knowledgeable physician.
I saw the doctor and she was very thorough with my visit She listin to me and she told me ways to take care of my heath she did asked me meny of questions about what was wrong with me she even told me ways to take care of my self . My doctor is the best I like that she is so thorough and I will continue seeing her
I am satisfied with everything.
I feel Dr. Mello took the time to understand my health. This was a first time visit. She was attentive and very validating. I came from Hawthorne and I felt very invalidated over there. Already being with Southcoast just for a little while, I finally feel seen and heard.
No complaints at all Always well taken care of at this office
Everyone one there was great. From the first PaR I meet, [Name] to the manager… they were all fantastic to me! Thank you!
Dr. Mello is kind, patient, and genuinely cares for her patients. It's rare, yet refreshing to see.
I truly believe my doctor has my best interests at hand. Doctor Mello has been my primary care physician for many years now and I like her so much that I choose to drive over an hour to see her. Most people would switch doctors but I could never Doctor Mello and her staff are the best.
My physical with Dr. Mello went very well. She always uses words that you understand with her explanations. Dr Mello gives you her attention, she is truly there for all your cares and concerns. Also I want to bring to your attention how wonderful your check in and check out staff is. They are all so pleasant and comforting ??
Dr. MELLO was very thorough in explaining my health in regard to upcoming surgery.
Dr Mello and her staff are always wonderful. I arrived 18 months ago, having moved to RI from OH. I have a disease that is not part of medical training. Dr Mello was honest about her lack of knowledge at that time, but has made the effort to learn. I believe that, in the future, she will be able to offer me care that I must travel to NYC for currently.
The doctor seems to understand my difficulty getting around. Will only have to see her on an annual basis unless I need to address a problem
From the check in to the check out and seeing the physician -everyone was extremely pleasant.
Every one treated me well
Dr. Mello is a great provider! I have been dealing with weight issues and she is extremely patient with me is a partner in my health journey. She prescription me medication but I ultimately decided not to take it. She has been helping me with this decision for 2 years and is always helpful and encouraging with whatever I decide. I'm grateful for her care.
Doctor Mello always listens, advises and procedes with my health care issues and needs in a professional and caring manner. That is very important to me and my well being. I can say the same to all staff support in the office, Assistant, Nurses and front desk
