    Melissa is thorough and went through all my concerns, including showing where we need to schedule a separate visit due to lack of time. I did submit lab tests prior to the appointment date, but they were not included in my chart but we reviewed them regardless.

    I saw Emily first, an intern that the office staff asked if it was ok for her to see me first. She was fantastic. Melissa Rider joined us and she too was attentive and got down to business to come up with a treatment plan.
