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.
