I was a new patient to the practice and saw Mellisa. She was very professional and detailed with her work. After testing she and Dr. Silver determined the casuse of my symptoms which 3 other doctors couldn't.

If you value your health and well being stay far far away from this practice! I went there as a new patient and Melissa appeared to be so concerned about my GI needs and was so kind and soft spoken - to my face. She wanted me to have a colonoscopy which I scheduled before leaving and also gave me orders for labs to be drawn at a specific local hospital. Once I got home I realized this procedure would be less than a week before I had to travel to a specialist in Atlanta and due to complicated health issues I knew my body wouldn't be able to handle a colon prep, anesthesia and a colonoscopy as well as a round trip to Atlanta with a 2-hr appt. with a specialist. I called her office to cancel the colonoscopy stating why but did say I would reschedule as soon as I returned from the specialist in Atlanta. I then had the labs drawn the next day and received a letter the same day being dropped from their practice for my refusal to do the colonoscopy. I didn't refuse I asked to reschedule because it was in the best interest of my health! Forward 1 1/2 weeks and I receive in the mail with NO letter to explain, no courtesy of calling me to explain the test results, the lab results. Lab results that had very serious test results out of range. Not a little out of range - alarmingly out of range!!! I guess she has no regard to the safety and welfare of her patients once she "dismisses" them. I will now find a REAL GI practice who can further investigate these findings and will warn everyone I can to stay away from Melissa Pickel!!
