    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. I would definitely recommend them and feel good having them as my PCP.
