“First time talking to someone that cared to listen.. to all of it. I felt more comfortable talking about my problems within the first appointment with her compared to two prior years of treatment around the state. At the end I was provided medication that we discussed and wasn’t forced on me. Would recommend for anyone struggling.”

Great listener and communicator who was willing to brainstorm solutions together. Cannot recommend highly enough!
Melanie was a very empathetic yet professional provider. She listened and met my concerns with resources.
She was excellent.

Melanie always makes me feel comfortable and truly listens to what I say. She made me feel heard during the process of getting on the correct medication and doses for me. She remembers details about her patients and truly cares. Highly recommend her!
Verified patient
Melanie is THAT provider. For real, I’ve never felt so genuinely heard in a medical setting before. She didn’t just rush through my appointment — she actually took her time, listened to everything I had to say, and made me feel like my voice mattered. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does — it shows in the way she cares, explains things, and makes sure you leave feeling supported and understood. Honestly, it felt less like a “doctor’s visit” and more like talking to someone who truly has your back. If you’re looking for a provider who gets it, listens without judgment, and makes you feel seen… Melanie is the one. ????
I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Melanie . She is incredibly sweet, kind, and patient. From the very first session, she made me feel heard and understood. She truly listens to everything I share without judgment and offers thoughtful, compassionate guidance every time. Her support has been invaluable, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and more hopeful. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better psychiatrist — she has made such a positive difference in my life.
Verified patient
I just had my second appointment with Dr. Melanie, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She’s incredibly kind, sweet, and truly listens with care and attention. I felt fully heard and supported. She’s also very knowledgeable and prescribed me exactly what I needed. I’m thankful to have found her and already look forward to our next session.
Verified patient
She was very kind and professional.
The first appointment was a great experience. Communication was clear and very understanding of my situation. It was really positive and helpful. I’m sure the next visit will be same and uplifting.
Melanie was both professional and very understanding. She was patient and asked thoughtful questions. Throughout my entire appointment, I felt heard and adequately cared for. The process from registration to prescription was very straightforward. Overall, I'd highly recommend Ms. Osefo.
Verified patient
This provider never reached out to let me know if she was available or unavailable. I called the number provided multiple times to no avail. Very disappointing and frustrating. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND
Melanie confirmed my appointment and I filled out all the necessary paperwork, but she did not show up and has not followed up to explain or apologize. She also did not respond to my messages through her online portal. Very strange and obviously unprofessional.
Verified patient
Melanie sent me instructions beforehand to join the virtual appointment. She made me feel comfortable and gave me an opportunity to ask any questions I had.
Had a great appointment with this PCP. Listened to my concerns, explained what the journey to wellness ahead looks like, and left me with tangible tools toward my wellness goals. Highly recommended. Read through my intake forms, and spent time to understand my concerns. Very professional.
Verified patient
Melanie was super personable and was so easy to talk to! I was a bit nervous about the appointment and embarking on the journey of figuring out what’s going on and she eased all of that nervousness. I would highly recommend and look forward to our next appointment.
Verified patient
Had an appointment that was canceled last Thursday and rescheduled for today at 12pm and no one ever showed up. I called and no one answered. Very disappointed and very unprofessional.
Verified patient
Fantastic, gave multiple different tests to determine genetic impact on medications and specific areas of concern. A big patient rights advocate and active listener!
She was very thorough and had many questions. She gathered a lot of information but made me feel like I was responsible for making the decisions of my care.
Verified patient
My first session with Melanie was great. She’s personable, knowledgeable, and down to earth. I’m grateful to have been referred to her.
Verified patient
She was so sweet and very easy to talk to. She listened to all of my concerns and remained non-judgemental. It took a lot for me to get to this point in my mental health and she made it so easy!
