• I feel very privileged to be able to see Dr. Meltzer at this clinic. I've spent so long trying to get answers about a condition I've had my entire life and she seems to be able to think outside the box and knows the ins and outs of things that none of my other providers have been able to pin down. So I'm very grateful for everything that she's done and also that she's putting me in for an extra class and the available knowledge she has about PTSD and other traumas that can affect skin conditions is really important to me and I really thank her for everything that she's done.

  2026-06-05

• I really appreciated that I was given an appointment very soon after I called to request one. I had noticed something unusual on my skin and since my mother had melanoma, I really appreciate the responsiveness. I also really appreciate the care and the level of detail that everyone went into during my exam and that they reassured me that it was nothing to worry about. So thank you all for your courtesy and your kindness, particularly given my family's medical history.

  2026-04-15

• Much more open-minded than most. Very nice person. Not as complete notes and instructions as I expected. Too much reliance in staff in note-writing. Has no real answer for what to do about my condition. Suggestions may just slow the condition without healing it... but not clear about that. Does a curative treatment exist?

  2026-02-04

• Dr Meltzer was great. She examined my skin very carefully and answered every question, and fear, completely. This gave me great confidence to know that I was in good hands. When you get old and spots start appearing on your skin it is very easy to think the worst. But seeing her take her time and examine every spot closely gave me confidence that I was okay. I felt she took her time and did not try to rush through anything. So when my appointment was over I felt very happy that everything was good. It's always nice to leave a doctor's appointment with a smile on your face that everything is good and you are in good hands.

  2026-02-05

• Dr. Meltzer is amazing in that she listens and truly picks up on concerns that a patient may have. She will monitor the work of my skin surgeon who is treating me for basal cell and squamous cell cancer. It is comforting that 2 well-educated physicians are watching my prognosis. Along with being an excellent physician, she has a wonderful personality. I am Very Pleased with Dr. Meltzer.

  2025-12-11

• I did not like this provider. She informed that she has rules and I couldn't ask questions outside of itch related things. I found that odd and ridiculous since she is working for me. She also said I should go to therapy because I worry. All my worry is valid because I care about my health. Plus, I have medicine that puts me at increased risk for skin cancer. She isn't the right care provider for me.

  2025-12-11

She was so knowledgeable and right away picked up on my condition based on all of my plethora of symptoms and could sympathize and quickly come up with a plan. She was amazing. I also appreciated having the fellows and teaching physicians with her to bounce additional ideas off of. We are really grateful to have an appointment with her. I only wish she wasn't so busy so that I didn't feel like I was bothering her when I reached out with additional information or questions, but I understand why she is so highly sought after. Thank you, Dr. Meltzer.
