I had a visit with Melanie Chitas today to remove my IUD. Firstly, her bedside manner was absolutely perfection, making me feel less stressed & relaxed throughout my entire visit. She took the time to sit with me going over all my options while explaining each one in details. Never making me feel rushed or pushed in any way. I felt extremely comfortable with her, so I decided to change my gynecologist over to her. There should be more in the medical field just like her. Thank you, Melanie ??
