Straightforward quick and easy in providing a solution. Appointment was virtual but that was all I needed since I knew my diagnosis and just needed treatment care. Saved me a commute.

Amazing bedside manner. Very communicative, and genuinely cared about how I felt. I have already recommended to friends and family. I see some of the top doctors in NYC and decided for a virtual visit due to having a small child, and this was even better than going into an office, extremely detailed and concise help and direction I was given for my ailment.

I went to Melissa for my microneedling session and I couldn't wait to immediatly go back. She has the best personality, was thorough, patient and adressed all of my questions. After 2 microneedling sessions with her, I noticed improvement in the quality of my skin. I would highly recommend her as an overall physician.

I was so impressed! From the punctuality to the personalized service to the genuine concern Melissa had for the reason of my visit. She took a biopsy and I did not even feel the needle, because she is so gentle. I most definitely will go back. Plus, she has an amazing personality & disposition.
