I love Dr. Melin. Not only is she smart and clearly passionate about her job - she is also extremely personable and down to earth. In my opinion, one of the most important qualities in an OBGYN, is for you to go to a doctor you can trust and are comfortable with. Dr. Melin's office is a judgement free zone. I have never felt uncomfortable asking her questions or discussing my personal or medical history. Dr. Melin and Nicole make a smart and friendly team. I always leave feeling comfortable, well informed, and having received excellent medical attention. read more

Actually, I am in disbelief that Dr. June Melin is still practicing ! Not only did she appear elderly when I saw her as a patient but also because she and her office staff (Nicole) are both dismissive. I was told to take a medication that I was aware could be treated with a change in diet and weight lifting exercises. I discussed this with Dr. Melin and as she's exiting the exam room she said, "Just take the fosamax" ! This medication later proved to be harmful as it depletes the mandibular, femur fractures and has gastrointestinal side effects. I am grateful that I refused the medication and did my own research. Unfortunately, most doctors that have been practicing for 40 + yrs received little to no training in nutrition so therefore primarily are prescribing harmful medications. My experience was a one and done! There are so many other doctors (and staff ) that I feel are caring and interested in working with their patients. This is not one. read more

Probably the worst OBGYN experience I have ever had. The woman at the front desk was very rude to begin the process - she acted like I was putting her out just by being there. Also who only takes cash or check? What decade are we in? This should have been my first clue this was not the right place for me... As I sit there naked with a robe on waiting to meet a new doctor, I am cold and uncomfortable. She walks into the room and immediately starts talking about COVID... lady - I am here to get my lady parts checked on, not listen to your unsolicited soapbox on how it's my generations fault (I am 29) this pandemic has gotten so bad and we should just put masks on for "Christ's sake". (I was wearing a mask for the record!) Follow this up with some trash talk on President Trump (who was the standing president at the time!!) saying how embarrassing he is and how she wishes he would just shut his mouth. Wow... this was all in the first 5-10 minutes the woman met me... she hasn't said anything regarding the actual reason for my visit nor does she know anything about me or my beliefs. As a matter of fact, I am a Christian, conservative woman who supports Trump - not that this should matter in my OBGYN appointment!!! Needless to say, I was pretty locked up throughout the remainder of the appointment and the examination was not pleasant. I will never go back to this crazy woman and regardless of your beliefs, you should not be subjected to this kind of bashing during an OBGYN appointment. Just check me out and let me be on my way... read more

Best doctor ever! I am one of those people who hates going to the doctor because I feel like they don't listen to me or diagnose me before even hearing what I have to say. Dr. Melin listened to all of my concerns and addressed everything listed on my paperwork, including questions I had been trying to get answers to for years from other doctors. She made me feel very comfortable with my annual exam/pap smear. She is definitely chatty, which may not be some people's cup of tea, but I think it was so helpful for someone like me who is nervous at doctors' offices. Highly highly recommend. read more

I adore Dr. Melin. More importantly she saw me through a very risky pregnancy with my first child 24 years ago! She has also provided so much good information over the years. She is fabulous, smart and caring. I really can't say enough about her and how much I appreciate how much she has done for our family. (also I have never ever posted a review before for anyone!) read more

Incredibly rude and unprofessional receptionist. Date- 5/19/17. I found this doctor's info via my insurance United Healthcare's website. I called to schedule an appointment and the receptionist immediately told me there are no new patient appointments until the end of June. I said that I'd like to schedule the first available at the end of June. She asked about my insurance, I gave her all of the info, and she was insistent on asking if it was PPO or HMO. I wasn't sure so I called my insurance company and verified it as nether, it's POS. I called back and the receptionist had never heard of this and refused to schedule my appt. she told me to call back another day bec she doesn't know what United Healthcare Choice Plus POS was. I asked her to please schedule me in and someone else can verify my insurance later and that my insurance company already verified they do accept. She placed me on hold and then the line was hung up. I called back, no answer. Called again and she answers, asks my name and then another line rang and she put me on hold again. Then it disconnected again. I call back. She does this yet a third time at which point I felt as if I was begging to just schedule an appointment and I was not wanted there. I guess doctor's offices do not have to provide reasonable friendly service. If she didn't want to schedule me she should have just said, not accepting new patients. She really gave me the impression that she didn't not want to do any data entry today and I was just a nuisance to her. Needless to say, I didn't continue with my appointment process bc why would I want to go to a place that made me feel like that? read more

I appreciate Dr. Melin as a doctor and she is very kind, but my first experience with her was just okay. She talked way too much and made me feel like I didn't know the basics of sex and protection. Granted, I am 23 years old, from Hawaii, and grew up with an OB/GYN nurse and have worked in her office for years. I did mention that to Dr. Melin, but she still acted as if I didn't know anything. The bill I got afterwards was ridiculous and I know my insurance covers most, if not all of my well woman (annual) exams! I faxed them and told them what codes they should of used, one of them being that I had irregular bleeding. The receptionist called me saying that she was tired of being on the phone with my insurance company to check coverage so she hung up. She also told me that my irregular bleeding was due to my IUD so she's not applying that code. What- what?! How can you diagnose something that I only had a hunch about?! I'm not going back to Dr. Melin and I'm currently looking for a better OB/GYN physician with a professional receptionist. If anyone knows of any then let me know. Thanks. read more

Dr. Melin is the best doctor I have ever had - dedicated, knowledgeable, personable, personal, patient, thorough, up-to-date, sincerely interested in her patients, and someone who just goes above and beyond for you. She's been my doctor for over 20 years. Nicole has been with her that whole time - so she's not going anywhere. (Who would hire her?) But it was cathartic to read all the comments of others who have had nothing but negative experiences with Nicole. Because I couldn't agree more. It used to bug me (sometimes it still does) but now I find it kind of hilarious and try to predict all the ways she's going to try to make me miserable. She always nails every single one and surprises me with bonus moves. If she wasn't born negative, cranky, and absolutely miserable, she has certainly perfected it to an art form. But, she's the gatekeeper to Dr. Melin, so I just summon up all the patience I can muster when I have to deal with her. She doesn't have it in her to treat people well; she's only got one gear; and you'll experience it anytime her lips are moving. If you can roll with being treated poorly to get to see an outstanding physician, great - if you don't have thick skin or tend to take things personally, you probably shouldn't try to walk the gauntlet of hot coals necessary to do so. 5 stars for Dr. Melin; zero stars for Nicole. Average = 2.5 read more

After my initial OB closed her practice I was referred to Dr. Melin for what I thought was a temporary change. As heartbroken as I was that my initial Dr. wasn't available anymore, Dr. Melin impressed me with her knowledge and experience. Having given birth four times herself, she had empathy and compassion for the whole experience. Appointments were mostly quick with very short wait times. Nicole even called me a couple times when they got over booked/backed up to see if I would want to reschedule. Nicole also was very efficient with paperwork always ready to go from prescriptions to hospital paperwork. Her personality is a bit different from what you would expect, but at least she has a personality! Dr. Melin accommodated me at Sharp Mary Birch even though her preferred hospital is Scripps Mercy. She stayed with me through very difficult parts of my natural birth and did everything in her power to make sure I had the birth I wanted. An "on-call" Dr. would not have spent nearly as much time with me or catered to my birth plan. Without her expertise I believe there would have been a good chance of straying from my birth plan and possibly needing a c-section. She knew just what to do and when to do it! I highly recommend Dr. Melin and her staff, and I would absolutely trust her again if I were to have another baby! read more

I have mixed feelings about Dr. Melin. The pros are: I think she is a kind, fun, interesting person with a very great personality. She will most likely ease the fears of any new, younger patient. I do feel like I could ask her anything and not be judged. However, I do have a lot of cons: I felt that my concerns that I had were minimized as having anxiety and that they were stupid (which I didnt feel they were stupid). And I did have something wrong with me at the time and my new OBGYN was the one who addressed it. The office expects you to know what your insurance covers and what your insurance does not cover, which most people dont know how to find this out because of course insurance is as difficult as possible and you usually need a dr.'s office to guide you. You will have a lot more happy patients if you help with this this. And then there's Nicole. She is the sassy receptionist that gets straight to the point. I can deal with that. But I had a bad experience when I called ahead to get my medical records and was assured that I could just come in and get them... but when I came in she actually said she didnt have time to help me. It was pulling teeth to get her to copy 1 page in my file. And then they were MISSING the rest of my history. Where did it go? I needed that to make decisions about surgery and it was imperative to my health. And isnt the doctor's office supposed to help you with that? Just the fact that Dr. Melin wont address this issue is very frustrating and says something about her judgement. Or maybe she just doesnt care. But then that begs me to ask if she really cares about me as a patient... I also got yelled at by one of the nurses for calling my boyfriend to help answer the questionnaire they had with my health history and they told me that next time I wasnt allowed to use my cell phone. But... I'm the customer? And I wanted to answer it correctly. I also thought the office was a little out dated and could use an uplifting coat of paint and a little more heart besides just Dr. Melin. I'm not going back to Dr. Melin, unfortunately, but I do wish her the best. read more

Dr. Melin is an angel! She really is my guardian angel. She looked out for me during the toughest time in my life when I was losing my baby at 19 weeks. I could never repay her back. I would still see Dr. Melin despite her receptionist, Nicole. OMG so rude, and so condensending! She talks to you as if you she's doing you a huge favor. Please! Just do your job lady! She put me down countless times at the time when I was losing my baby and going through really tough time. If it wasn't for Dr. Melin, I would've left and never come back. I don't hope for her to be fired or anything, but I hope in response to these reviews, she'll adjust her attitude and talk dr. Melin's patients better. read more

Yes, it is true!!! Dr. Melin is fabulous! I am so glad I was referred to her regarding a polyp. First visit at the clinic - outstanding - she calmed me down, gave me the detailed explanation , spent a huge hour with me telling me all I needed to know about polyps and what I needed to do. She is confident, considerate, patient with your worries and umpteen questions - what more could you dream of in your 'perfect doc' !! The first time I heard of polyps was in my case, and what scared me right away was that there would be a related biopsy. Post my visit, I chose to opt for the Hyperoscopy instead of just the biopsy. Second Visit - Pre-op - She had every little thing written down for me and she calmed my nerves regarding the procedure. There was not a single thing I could think of as amiss and well nothing I could worry about. Procedure Day - which was on Fri In comes Dr. Melin, smiling and confident and with her 'rest assured, I'm here and I'll make it right ' demeanour and that kept me calm. Here, I must add that the nurses and staff at Scripps Mercy are amazing people. The whole procedure was a breeze and before I knew , I was back home and resting. And here I am on Mon evening absolutely relieved to have heard back from Dr. Melin - not one of her staff, but the Doctor herself. And this is why I knew I just had to write the review without any delay. I am so impressed that she cared to call me right away as soon as she received the biopsy results and did not rush to just tell me that the results were clear. She took the the time to ask how I felt, did not rush me and made sure I had the post-op visit booked. I absolutely love Dr. Melin and no matter how many good things I say, it'd still not be enough to thank this wonderful Doctor :) read more

I have visited this office once so far. I LOVE June, she is very straight forward, knowledgeable and fun. I loved interacting with her. Unlike what others say, Nicole was REALLY nice and friendly when I walked in and walked out. So I'm def. going back when I need to :) read more

The office manager Nicole is gruff, very unsympathetic, and sometimes unprofessional but to her credit she tries to keep Dr Melin on schedule to no avail. Dr Melin talks far too much, and largely about herself. I know far too much about her personal life whereas I don't think she knows much about mine as she has a way of redirecting the conversation in a way that never comes back to the patient. I very recently changed doctors and am really mad at myself for not doing it sooner. Dr Melin talks too much which can seem like a comfort at first but you have to draw the line. The worst part is that she is forever late to every appointment due to the excessive talking. I think she is a kind person but I also think she might be a little too self involved. read more

Dr. Melin is an ANGEL! I love her. She was there for me when I was losing my baby, and she got me through it like no other. She truly cares about her patients, unlike many many other doctors I've seen. She calls you for every blood work, and explains things to you with a great deal of knowledge, and makes you feel comfortable talking to her as if she's your friend. The reason why I gave 4 stars is Dr. Melin's receptionist, NICOLE. WOW! How rude is she!!! She is condescending, belittling, bitter, and demeaning. I will call asking about some pain I'm going through, and she'll say, "so? That's normal". Really? Who are you to tell me that. You cannot give me a medical opinion without asking the doctor you work for. I can go on and on, but you get the picture. The bottom line is, I'll still go see dr. Melin no matter what, but I really hope that her receptionist fixes her ways. Dr. Melin needs a receptionist who can match her personality, not the opposite. read more

Honestly there is no better doc than her. I have been seeing her since 2011. She truly cares which in this day in age is so unusual. She is so super smart and genuine you couldn't be in better hands. With that said she is also hilarious!! She is an amazing doctor and a fantastic surgeon too. The best! I now drive all the way from LA to see you. I will never switch docs. read more

I love this woman. She is organized, efficient and on topic. She will get back to you within an hour. No delays. She may seem a little bit eccentric for a lot of people and that's what I disliked about her first. But after meeting her twice and realizing that she means no harm and is just trying to help, I changed my mind. This woman is very knowledgeable. So , if you have any questions, even off topic, she will be happy to share her knowledge. And if you are in medical trouble as I am right now, she will take weight off your shoulders by coordinating doctors, tests and paperwork that come with all of that. Love her. read more

Dr Melin, Stacy and Nicole are awesome! Dr Melin delivered both of my kiddos and was amazing! My wife loved her and her wonderful personality! read more

June D Melin, MD - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - San Diego, California

Best OB-GYN I've been to. I have United Healthcare Choice Plus and they accepted me just fine (referring to the one star review below). Their office asks that you make sure so that there are no problems; I found it nice because I've been in a that situation. Back to Dr. Melin. I feel so comfortable talking to her!! She is very open, honest, and thorough. She even addressed issues outside of OB-GYN. We've shared laughs and tears; she does it all. Wait time was literally 5 minutes tops, most of that time I was writing a check. It is cash or check only which could be a hassle if you didn't have either. The front desk lady is bold but nice!! Overall, please choice this Dr. She will not disappoint. I've been to the office twice! read more

Dr. Melin is a wonderful doctor. I am an attorney - type A by nature and we got along very well. She is very experienced and knowledgeable. She provided reasonable and rational responses to my questions and concerns. She even shared relevant information from medical studies which she keeps up with. My aunt who is a labor and delivery nurse at Scripts Mercy had recommended her to me for my first son. I went back to her for my second son. Dr Melin is who nurses go to for their care and that says a lot. Even my sonographer had his kids delivered by Dr. Melin. These professionals come across tons of OBGyns and they choose her. I admit she and even Nicole, her receptionist, are an acquired taste. If you're someone who gets offended easily and can't take swearing then Dr. Melin might be too much for you. She definitely tells it like it is and sometimes her delivery of information may be too direct for some. Nicole is also not what you'd expect for a front office - she seems a bit rough around the edges at first until you talk to her more and she's actually quite funny and helpful. But overall this office is such an advocate for their patients. They supported me in getting my insurance to cover my progesterone therapy. Dr Melin went above and beyond by contacting a local compounding pharmacy to concoct something for me until my insurance decided whether it would cover my progesterone shots so that I was covered for that period. She also guided me in getting my pre-delivery disability leave approved by my disability insurance (who was being the biggest jerk). Through all of this, she always took my calls and she stayed on the phone with me to discuss my options. I appreciated her so much. During my second pregnancy she was very vigilant about avoiding another pre term labor as I had with my first son. She sent me for more ultrasounds and put me in progesterone therapy. My weekly visits also started sooner at the later stage of my pregnancy. In the end I made it to almost 38 weeks with my second baby. As for the actual delivery, Dr Melin is the mom's advocate during this stressful time. She's direct with the nurses and has the mom's health and comfort as her utmost priority. Delivery was easy for me. She distracted me with her crazy stories. She was so encouraging through the whole thing. I had no tears (down there) and recovered so quickly. I trusted Dr Melin's every decision and she appreciated whatever decisions I made as well. Underneath her toughness, she's very sweet. At one visit she took my son to use the potty because I had already undressed and was on the table. She even let me breastfeed my baby on the table as she was checking me during my 6-week post-delivery appointment. She's a grandma and mother to 5 kids herself. She understands how difficult things are for moms. I can go on and on. I do feel it is unfortunate that some of her not-so-good reviews are due to the first impressions some have of the front office. That doesn't reflect at all on the type of care you will get with Dr Melin. read more

Direct Quotes from Dr. Melin: 1. It was my second appointment during my pregnancy- Dr. Melin asked me how I was doing. I began to cry. I told her I had no family in the area, I was emotional, and scared. Her response: "I have two names for pregnant women; psycho-bitch and cry-baby. You're both." 2. Throughout my pregnancy, I gained 70 lbs. I know, A LOT! One month, I gained 15 pounds. Not great...again, I know. But when I weighed in at her office, Dr. Melin had this to say: "Holy shit! Emily! Well, at least you're not the worst. The worst was 17 lbs. That lady ate a watermelon- A FUCKING WATERMELON- everyday...and she wasn't even black!"....I left the office crying. 3. Several weeks before my due date, Dr. Melin told me that because my baby was so large, she believed I was going to need a C-Section. She said to me: "UGH! I want to tell you, there's NO WAY you are going to be able to deliver this baby naturally. She's too big. You've gained so much weight- you keep feeding her (she laughs)...You should just stop eating now. You're probably going to need a C-section. AND I HATE C-SECTIONS! They're SO bad for the mom, and SO dangerous for the baby." (I begin to cry) "And I knew you were going to cry!" I want to note that I delivered a very healthy baby- 9 lbs. 4 oz.- NATURALLY! ....and Dr. Melin missed the whole thing. The morning before my baby was born, after checking on me at 7am- she left the hospital and told the nurse to call her at 3:30pm. When my nurse called her and told her I was going to have this baby sooner rather than later, Dr. Melin told her to do "practice pushes" and call her in an hour. During the practice pushes, my baby began to crown. The nurse called Dr. Melin- she hadn't even left for the hospital yet....and she told the nurse to tell me to WAIT! My baby's head was coming out of me- and she wanted me to WAIT?!? I tried waiting- it was the hardest thing I have ever done....it was incredibly painful and difficult. Finally, after my family and I demanded another doctor- my baby was delivered at 4:20pm by a doctor I had never met before. Dr. Melin missed the whole thing. Once my baby was in my arms, Dr. Melin walked into the delivery room in a short dress and high heels. I learned from her at my follow up apt., that she "met the man she was going to marry" that night...and that is why she was late (missed) for the birth of my daughter. I never got an apology. Nothing. I chose Dr. Melin because of proximity, insurance, and several positive reviews I had read (though I wish I had read more reviews). Once I met her, and realized that she didn't exactly have that "bedside manner", I still stuck with her for 9 months- I thought she was supposed to be one of the best, and frankly, finding a new OBGYN at that point would have been too exhausting. I have wanted to write this review for a while now, because I think its really important for women to understand what kind of a person Dr. Melin is before choosing her. I will not be seeing Dr. Melin again. Not for regular appointments, and certainly not for my next pregnancy. I am currently in the process of finding a doctor who will care for my overall well-being; I did not get that kind of care from Dr. Melin. I do not write many reviews....and I have certainly never written a review this lengthy. I just felt it was important information for people to hear. read more

I am a total fan of June Melin. I was over 40 when I got pregnant. She was so helpful and knowledgeable.

It's with mixed emotion that I am breaking up with this practice. Dr. Melin has helped me a lot but I do expect to be treated kindly and respectfully by the front office. It's simple abuse, really. On one hand Dr. Melin's loyalty to her staff is admirable, but as a patient you still are the 'customer' and as such the poor attitude/rude behavior is not tolerable. A simple question doesn't warrant a coarse and terse response no matter how silly or stupid the question seems to their Royal Court of the PB Ghetto. Pair the attitude with the negative vibe - it's time to find a more comfortable environment and set of stirrups for these legs. read more

I was new to San Diego and needed to find a Doc for my annual exam "down there." I'm so glad I came across Dr. Melin. She is amazing! Unlike many doctors I've seen, she did not appear rushed at all during my appointment. She took her time with me, and it was evident she really cared about me as a person -- not just as another dollar in her bank account. She is in a practice by herself, not part of a large group of doctors. Thus, if you make an appointment with Dr. Melin, you get to see Dr. Melin -- not some random other person in a huge practice. If you like personalized medicine, Dr. Melin is the person for you. If you prefer factory-style medicine, you might be happier elsewhere. read more

Dr. Melin is hilarious--I am so glad I found her! We girls all know how hard it is to find a good doctor that you're comfortable with, and I would not leave Dr. Melin unless I was dragged away. She is funny and SO personable, and at the same time really knows what she is talking about and listens to your concerns too. read more

I love going to see doctor Melin. Not only is she hilarious and fun to talk to she knows a ton about everything health related. Nicole her receptionist has magically gotten me in last minute for painful UTIs. I hate going to the gynecologist but I've been coming here for years and look forward to chatting with doctor Melin. They're great! It's a small doctors office so you will receive personalized care. Doctor Melin has even called me after an appointment just to make sure I'm doing okay. Highly recommended. Also you can pay cash if you have bad insurance or no insurance and it's very reasonable. read more

WOW!!! I am soooo happy I found Dr. Melin! I just finished with my first appointment with her and am so thoroughly impressed! Yes annual exams are never fun but Dr. Melin is so personable and relatable, I was completely comfortable the entire time. She took the time to look through all of my health history, asked questions about certain things and explained everything as she worked. She listened to my questions and took her time so we were on the same page. I am so happy I found this office and will definitely continue with her as a gyno and then also as an OB (MUCH farther down the road). DEFINITELY go see June! read more

I would like to have seen the apparently very well-regarded Dr. Melin for a consult, but a doctor is only as good as the receptionist you have to wrangle with to get an appointment. I could not get past the notorious Nicole to even see Dr Melin. I called to set up an appointment for a GYN consult, per my primary physician's recommendation after results from a routine exam. The receptionist insisted on telling me what procedure I would need, which is something only the Dr. can determine after seeing my test results. She said, "Oh the doctor ALWAYS does this" -- which I know is not true for other doctors because there are at least 3 common treatment options that my primary at UCSD medical center told me about. After making an appointment for said procedure ("well if she doesn't need to do it she can decide then") I asked about coverage under my insurance plan. It is a state/federal plan for individuals who cannot get coverage elsewhere due to a pre-existing condition, and the receptionist was not familiar with it (until she changed her story later). Under this plan you can see any doctor you choose, they pay the doctor according to a fee schedule, and then bill the patient for a % of the costs. (A traditional 80-20 type plan, which does not have a physician network, preferred provider list, or list of specialists.) It is a nationwide, U.S. Dept of Agriculture plan readily accepted by hospitals and major medical groups in San Diego. However, I was told that Dr Melin will not take any patients that she is not listed as a provider for. If that's true, it means she would not take any insurance that is not a Managed Health Care plan (HMO or PPO). And that would eliminate the traditional (and usually most expensive) health plans in which you can choose any doctor and pay a straight % of the cost. When I pointed this out I was just rudely told that Dr Melin doesn't take my plan because they'd tried it before. (Now she'd heard of it). I don't know what the story really is (perhaps Dr. Melin has a policy against plans tied to Medicare reimbursement rates?) but I did not get the impression I was getting any kind of straight answers from the receptionist. And if I was, then she is abysmal at conveying information clearly and politely. I also very much disliked having the receptionist try to replace the doctor in evaluating what procedure I needed. I was hoping to find a GYN closer to home in a private practice, but now I'll happily stick to UCSD Medical's Women's Health Center which is run in a professional manner. (And yes, when I called for an appointment they said "yes, what you need first is an office consult to determine what course of treatment is best".) read more

Just relocated here from the east coast and needed a new OBGYN for my 31-weeks pregnant wife. Rude receptionist that made it seem normal that they don't have an email address to send our journals to. 2016 and no email address?! I could fax them. I don't own a fax machine, and they just lost a client. read more

While Yelp is helpful for consumers, I hope that potential patients see past some of the reviews that this office has sadly received. As a long time patient, I can tell you that Dr. Melin (along with Nicole and Stacey) were able to diagnose and treat two pretty serious medical issues that were missed by my primary care provider. Look...I don't know what happened with other patients, nor do I want readers to think that I am dismissing anyone's point of view. However, I do want to impress that I have been a patient at this office for almost a decade and for good reason. My primary care doctor (who has since been replaced) missed a couple of key medical issues. Thankfully, Dr. Melin was not only able to order proper labs, but successfully performed surgery. The other issue made way for an endocrine specialist. Her ability to talk with me candidly (and without judgment) about medications and health issues made it easier for me digest. I have since kept my health in check. She has always had the most patience with me during visits. I have never felt rushed or judged. And, she always makes sure all of my questions are answered before I leave the office. I definitely feel like I have a friend in her...as with other gals in the office. You will be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgable and attentive physician. This is SO important for women. I have referred her to my family and closest friends who continue to have their health needs served at this practice. Finally, I think it is worth mentioning that while I am in the waiting room, conversations with Nicole and Stacey are typically upbeat and funny. I was pretty shocked about some of the comments that were made about them. It seems pretty sad that people feel it relevant to shred others because of their perception of that person's demeanor. I would get it if they mixed up your health records or submitted a bill to you for procedures that were never performed. If its a personality clash..probably best to move on...I truly hope that everyone finds their "Dr. Melin" and don't forget, we are all human. read more

Dr. Melin's receptionist, Nicole, is the worst. She is incredibly rude and curt. Her phone manners are horrible. My wife had her on speaker phone and I couldn't believe the way that she was talking to my wife, very condescending. Even routine correspondence is sent out in all caps with exclamation points as if she was yelling. The one time that I went in to pick up my wife after an appointment, Nicole just glared at me. She's completely unprofessional and looks unprofessional too. My wife went in to see Dr. Melin when she was 8 weeks pregnant for her first visit. Dr. Melin said she wasn't "really pregnant" until she was into her second trimester. Needless to say, we are seeing a different OBGYN and we are expecting a baby this fall. read more

Dr Melin is like part of the family! She delivered both of my chidren and was there for the entire labor and delivery. She tells it like it is (even if its not pretty) and prepares you for everything. I've continued to see her and follow her through multiple medical insurance plans. I know she sees teens and seniors and continues to be highly educated in her field. I couldn't imagine life without Dr Melin! read more

Exceptional care...Dr Melin will always give her highest care level...superb and amazing Doc...she always has the laughters and will make you feel safe and satisfied... she's my Doc for 5 years now...so happy i have her=))))) read more

There is nothing I look less forward to than going to the gynecologist. But not anymore! Dr. Melin was completely fantastic in every way possible. She made me feel more like a friend than a patient. I mean, she literally made me laugh out loud. I was totally comfortable talking with her and really valued her honest and educated opinion. I didn't feel rushed at all--in fact, we had an extensive conversation about my medical history, sexual health, diet and exercise and even my job. Dr. Melin made me feel great about my current state of health and encouraged me to keep doing all the right things. I honestly can't wait to go back to see her! read more

Yes, it's true, Dr. Melin is all that and a bag of chips. Let's be honest, it's not really that pleasant dealing with your annual exam every year, but it's absolutely necessary and you might as well go to someone like Dr. Melin, who is smart, funny, nice, and actually cares about her patients. She takes the time to get to know her patients and learn about your medical history. And at the end of the appointment? She asked if I have any questions at all for her...wow, haven't been asked that by a doctor...ever! read more

I think this is an absoulely horrible practice that treats their clients terribly. I went in last year for a checkup and I also needed to renew my birth control pill. I told her the brand I was on and she was insistent that I try the generic version stating that "it's exactly the same thing." So I made the switch and it was most definitely *not the same* and my hormones went crazy until I finally went back to my original pill... not a fun experience. A good doctor should know that the generic and brand name pills are not the same thing. At that same appointment she told me that I only need to come in for a check up every two years rather than every year, which is apparently the new standard based on my age. So one year has passed and now she refuses to renew my birth control pill stating that I am overdue for my appointment. SHE IS THE ONE WHO TOLD ME TO WAIT FOR TWO YEARS!!! Now I am unable to renew my prescription and she cannot see me for two months - and women out there know that it really messes with your hormones to go off and on the pill. Now I am forced to go off of the pill until I can find someone else who can see me, if she had not told me to wait for two years then I could have scheduled my appointment in advance and not had this issue. Even though this is their fault they refuse to help me. And I need not even mention how rude the receptionist Nicole is... just look at the other reviews...she is downright hostile. I am truly disgusted by my treatment here and I recommend you see a different doctor. I am just trying to get a basic birth control pill it should not be this difficult. read more

I called Dr. Melin's office today to see if she was seeing new patients and Nicole said she was beginning to take appointments for next month. Nicole was VERY nice and knowledgeble. I'm really looking forward to meeting with Dr. Melin as my husband and I begin our family planning. read more

Dr. Melin is AWESOME! Her genuine care and expertise came through on every visit. Delivery was amazing too. Our baby came two months early and she was comforting and straightforward throughout the entire process. Her assistant Nicole is amazing too - she's super professional and very kind. Thanks Dr. Melin and Nicole! If we ever have another baby - you're the one :) read more

Excellent doctor, knowledgable, detailed and caring. Makes the patient feel comfortable. Very thorough.

I have been a patient of Dr. Melin's for about 10 years now and it's about time that I write a review about this amazing doctor! I only have positive things to say about Dr. Melin. I was initially referred to her by a friend after my primary care doctor told me that my ultrasound regarding excruciating uterine pain came back normal. (Frequent uterine pain is NOT normal!) Upon seeing Dr. Melin and redoing the ultrasound, she explained the reason for the pain and gave me advice on how to cope with it. I still use that advice to this day. In addition to that initial great experience, and all subsequent yearly visits, Dr. Melin delivered both of my girls. When my husband's insurance plan through work tried to make us switch to Kaiser, I refused because I didn't want to trust my reproductive health to anyone else. Luckily, we were able to stay in the network that covers Dr. Melin's services so that I could continue to see her for the prenatal care of my second daughter. She is so patient and awesome in her field, that she even allowed my older daughter to "help" during my prenatal visits with my second daughter. Besides being a fantastic physician, who tells you what you need to know in a direct (but tactful) way, she also has a wonderful personality as a person. She loves my daughters and is never annoyed when they accompany me to my appointments. Our whole family loves Dr. Melin! How many people can say that about their doctors?? I actually love having her as a doctor so much, that when I had to switch my insurance, I only agreed to do so after finding out that she is covered by the new plan. I refuse to trust my reproductive health to anyone else until the day she retires and I'm forced to find someone else. I've seen the reviews about Nicole and all I can say is that people need to figure out where their own bad attitudes are coming from. Nicole's personality is so similar to Dr. Melin's (direct, but funny) that only a person with NO sense of humor would be offended by her. Not all people in this world needs to kiss up to you, just because you decide to use their services. I haven't had any bad experiences with Nicole in the 10 years that I've been going to see Dr. Melin, but I guess that might be due to the fact that I'm not a jerk who's looking for something to complain about. Although I have only had limited interactions with Stacey in the past couple of years (mostly over the phone, but a few times in office as well), I have all positive things to say about her too. She is a great addition to Dr. Melin's practice. Thank you to Dr. Melin, Nicole, and Stacey for providing such outstanding care all these years! read more
