“I was seen right at my appointment time, and Melanie was so sweet and very personable. I’m looking forward to being a patient of hers and the clinic. I was also treated during my first visit, which was very positive. Overall, an amazing experience - I would 10/10 recommend!”

“I saw the Physician Assistant Melanie Choi for the first time today and I had a very positive experience. She asked me if I had any specific questions, she answered all of them with clarity, and then she perform a total body check of my skin spots and explained to me what to look for when assessing the skin.
She was warm and made me at easy. The staff was also very professional and friendly. I had a positive experience and I am planning on returning to see PA Melanie Choi again next year for the yearly check up.
One more positive, there is a parking garage right next to this office building and the cost is pretty fair. Also, I didn't have to wait for my appointment and I was out in less than 30 minutes.
