Melissa Gaffney is wonderful.
This is my favorite office to go into. All the nurses that are there are extremely friendly. They know who you are. You are not just a number. You are a person when you walk in there. I am comfortable sharing any information about myself with my doctor. She takes the time to listen and does exactly what is best for me, which is very important to me. And she takes the time with each patient individually. She's very kind and caring. I love Dr. [Name] as well. Melissa is fantastic. And the girls are great. It's my favorite doctor's office to go to.
There's virtually no waiting. You're seen in a timely manner. Melissa is attentive and actively listens to me and is super encouraging. I love my experience with this service.

Explain all I really need to know
It was a great experience. As usual Melissa was very informative and knew about my health and appointments/ treatments I had had in the past with other physicians.
Dr Melissa is the best!
I got to tell you that Melissa was a lifesaver for me. She helped me out so much with weight loss and she's very informative. She knows everything about my health and everything else, but she's an asset to South Coast Health.
It's always a great visit
The provider seemed unconcerned with some issues I asked about, did not clarify some questions I had, and then told me to "lose some weight" because that's what insurance companies like to see. She was really quite rude. Not a fan!
Loved that they scheduled a telehealth appointment when I didn't have a ride to the office
Melissa Gaffney really paid attention to everything i said about my health,she worked with another Dr to find what treatment was best for me.She was informed of other health issues I have had.Prior to my app with her.
The visit went well on all aspects. There was nothing I could think of to make it easier

I'm so fortunate to be seen by Melissa Gaffney. I appreciate all of her help and guidance!
Excellent skills in listening to the patient and knowledgeable regarding my weightloss journey and the injections I'm currently taking.
She's great wldnt change a thing
In addition to the provider I saw, the front desk staff and the medical assistant who took my blood pressure were wonderful, friendly, and kind.
Melissa Gaffney has been a great resource for me- she has consistently been helpful in my weight-loss journey, willing to listen and has a good memory for my medical history. I'm very at ease when I'm there, which I can't say for all doctor's visits.
Everything went nice and smooth
Melissa, always listens, and treats me with respect. She always makes me feel good about myself even though I am struggling to lose weight. She always sees the positive in what I have accomplished.
I enjoy someone that listens and doesn't assume. it was incredibly pleasurable.u00A0 got a lot out of it and I'm happy
