Dr Messam is an incredible pediatrician, not only is she warm and personable but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge. My children are two and three so we are there often for checkups, colds etc and highly recommend her!!!

Dr. Messam is a wonderful pediatrician. We had our first baby this summer and she is absolutely amazing. As new parents my husband and I have a lot of questions and she is always eager to talk with us and never rushes through an appointment. She is so sweet and delicate with our son. She treats him like her own child. She always calls back when you have a question and always explains things in such a way that you feel enpowered as a new parent. You will not be dissapointed with Dr. Messam. She is an angel! My husband and I are moving out of the area and I am so upset that we now have to find another doctor for our son. In our search for a new doctor I know I will be comparing all of them to Dr. Messam. We are so sad to be leaving her.

I have been taking my four children to Dr. Messam since they were born. She is wonderful, patient and truly cares about all of her patients. She came highly recommended by nurses and friends and I'm completely happy with her and trust her with my children.

Dr. Messam is one of the pediatricians around. She is very knowledgeable and is great with her patients. She takes the time to explain diagnosis to parents and the medication she prescribes. I'm so glad a friend referred Dr. Messam for my children's primary care. I couldn't be more satisfied.

She is a great doctor untill you leave her practice. We left because of her inconvienent office hours. Also, she does not always return phone calls. After leaving her practice, her office staff told us that they did not release medical records to parents. We had to cite HIPPA laws in order to have our records released. Dr. Messam charged us $132.00 and change for a copy of my 2 year old's records (much more than most practices). Most practices charge nothing to have records faxed to other offices. After receiving our records, we discoverd that my daughter's vaccine records were not up-to-date. She received two vaccines that were not listed. As a result, we now need to get our daughter a blood test to determine which vaccines she received and which ones she didn't.

Dr. Messam is such a wonderful doctor. As a first time mom, I did a lot of research on pediatricians. I received such glowing reviews about her, and now I see why. She is compassionate and truly cares for the children. They are not another name or number to her. It is so difficult to find a personalized experience in the medical community anymore. I am so glad that I found Dr. Messam. She is a blessing.

Dr Messam and her staff are wonderful!!! I appreciate that she takes her time during visits and feel she genuinely cares about my children. I have a 6 month old baby with reflux and a 2 year old so we are at the office often :)

Dr. Messum is a wonderful doctor. We switched from Kids First and it is night and day. I am so pleased we found such a caring professional to care for our daughter. Dr. Messum helped us figure out that our daughter had reflux after eight months of struggling with the other provider. She is a blessing.

Dr. Messam is so helpful. Her staff is great. I have three kids, one is an infant. She really listens to my concerns and symptons and takes all into account before medicating or making me worry. She always fits us in with sick calls. Never overbooks her appointments. And is available to talk to directly.

Dr. Messam is great. I'm always able to get a same day appt. I never had to wait, usually if i get there a little early she takes me then. She treats my daughter as if she was her own. Listens very well and explains thing well. I've never felt rushed, and of course she knows what she's talking about.

Dr. Messam is such a wonderful doctor. It is nice to have the personal care that you do not get at large practices. She genuinely loves children and made me feel very comfortable as a new mother.

Dr. Messam is wonderful. She is a fantastic diagnostician. My son has horrible reflux which brought on chronic ear infections, asthma and subsequently delayed speech. Dr. Messam was on the reflux when he was only about three weeks old. Also, my now eighteen month old son runs into her arms when she walks in the room. Doesn't matter if it is a sick or well visit. He just loves her. She is so compassionate and gentle. She will often examine his lovey before she examines him, in order to put him even more at ease. She has even called us to check in when my son has been really ill. We feel so blessed to have her as our pediatrician.

She is a gem of a doctor, always patient,helpful and reliable.She gives value to every concern and i really like her attitude with the children she deals with, as if she is handling her own children. I am lucky to have her as my pediatrician.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Messam. She has always showed genuine concern for my children's health and spent considerable time listening to me and explaining any issues. Amazingly, she has even called several days later to check in on my kids and see how they were feeling. She is wonderful.

I think Dr. Messam is wonderful. She answers her own phone before 10am and never double schedules an appointment so there is no waiting. She is a neighboorhood doctor in a highly populated area.

Dr. Elcock-Messum is an excellent doctor. She has gone above and beyond my expectations. She came to me widely recommended by other Mothers and I have also enthusiastically recommended her and will continue to do so.
