This was my first visit with Melanie after seeing my previous OB for over 10 years. I was incredibly impressed and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. She cared about me as an individual and had strong listening skills as well as honesty. She is very relatable and is comforting to speak with. Very pleased with my first visit

I met with Melanie Chitas on Monday. She did a procedure. Within an hour, I was having adverse effect from the procedure. I called. I did not get a call back from her. I did get a call back from the office. It was only at 3:45 that they made an appointment for me to come back today, which was the next day. It's totally unacceptable and they were not there in my time of distress from the procedure.
The staff treated me very kindly!
Melanie is excellent, she is very caring and understanding. She is able to translate medical information in a way patients can understand. She's very patient and really listens to your concerns and health goals.

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 ??
