Dr. M is a great physician, and a great human. She is easy to talk to, listens well, displays genuine empathy, and seems to take a true interest in her patients. One of the challenges for patients, as well as a key factor and physician burnout, is the lack of that personal relationship between patient and provider. Dr Melkonian bridges that gap flawlessly. My wife and I both feel very lucky to have her as our physician.
