She is the best, always appreciate her caring and smart approach to help. Lucky to have her as my primary care doctor.

Responses to my questions in my chart were short. Little explanation was provided. I had to do my own research with AI on why tests were being done rather than her explaining it.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/16/2026
I just appreciate her so much. She relaxes me when I come in stressed. She listens very well and she really knows my baseline and when i'm below that. Her referrals and interest in my happiness have helped immensely. She is very transparent, and great at explaining things to me in a way I can understand

I have been a patient at this clinic for nearly 10 years and have had several primary care physicians during that time. My most recent visit on June 26, 2026, was unlike any previous experience I have had. Dr. Melkonian took the time to truly get to know me as a patient. She asked thoughtful questions that had never been asked before and genuinely wanted to understand my health concerns. She listened carefully, made me feel heard, and took the time to explain in detail how any findings from my annual physical would be evaluated and treated. I left my appointment feeling informed, respected, and confident in my care. It is rare to find a physician who combines such professionalism with genuine compassion. Thank you, Dr. Melkonian, for providing exceptional care. I truly appreciate the time and attention you gave me.
