I’ve seen many doctors in my life and Dr. Meelker has been one of the best I’ve ever encountered. A breath of fresh air and so easy to talk to, my concerns were taken seriously and they were so kind and patient with me, it helped me feel more comfortable and calm to have a good doctor to talk to.

Dr. Meelker was fantastic. They were very attentive to my questions and they spent a lot of time with me in the appointment. It wasn’t like previous doctors where they seem like they are rushing to get out of there. So I really appreciate their care and attentiveness.

She is the best. It’s doctors like Lex, Shelly, Schmidt, Catherine Hention, Michael Bodly, Dr. Connci, and all the hard-working nurses at all of your facilities. I’ve had major surgery at Corewell Butterworth. Every time the nurses stepped up and did a fantastic job. Their angels.
