“I am so grateful that I found Melissa McCalister, APRN, RN, PMHNP-BC. In short, she is amazing!
The office is very nice, clean, modern, and inviting. The intake process was completed before the appointment, and it was so very helpful to have all of this done beforehand. It was very thorough, and her assistant, Jeff, ensured I understood what to do and that everything was completed correctly and in a timely manner. I was contacted to confirm the appointment. My insurance was verified, and I was told what to expect as a copay at the time of the appointment.
Melissa McCalister, APRN, RN, PMHNP-BC was amazing. She had reviewed all of my intake information and audio recordings. She was patient and kind and made me feel heard and understood. I feel like I finally found a provider that truly take sher time and cares and gives thoughtful responses that are easy to understand. She was nothing short of amazing. And I look forward to having her as my practinioner for a long time!”
