I had an absolutely terrible experience when I came in for an appointment with Dr. Mellow.

I came in to see Dr. Mellow for my annual physical. In total, my appointment took approximately 4 hours! I spent more than 1 hour waiting for Dr. Mellow to see me. Then I was taken back to a checkup room, where I changed into a robe and was told to wait for Dr. Mellow. I waited nearly an hour. Then Dr. Mellow came in to see me. She was very frazzled throughout the appointment (I guess she'd had a long day) and had trouble focusing on my questions. The full checkup took about 2 hours, because Dr. Mellow kept receiving phone calls from or about other patients, and had to take them (I have never had this happen at a doctor's office before).

During my visit, the doctor's assistant asked me to write down my credit card number, in the case that my insurance company did not cover a procedure that I received (they said this is standard office practice). They also said they would call me in advance of ever putting any charges onto my credit card. I received an immunization that day and the assistant told me that if my insurance company did not cover it, the cost would come to about $100 at most. More than a month later, my credit card was randomly charged more than $200 by Dr. Mellow's office. I called to ask about the charge, and was told that my insurer had not covered the "cost of administering my immunization" (not the cost of the immunization, but the cost of her actually giving it to me, which had not been mentioned). No one called me in advance of putting the charge through to my card.

I highly recommend not going to this doctor. She and her staff have no consideration for patients' time. And while at the end of the day I think it is wrong to misrepresent costs to patients and to lie about charging practices.

She is great! Very knowledgeable, has years of experience, knows how to take care of you!
You want her on your team, so that you can run healthy and glowing! She listens to your health complaints and she patiently explains everything so that you understand. She follows up after your blood tests and ensures that you are on your way to healing. I would recommend her whole heartedly. She was a blessing for me!
