Larisa Meleks's Online Review Report Card

No comment.

NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER DO YOU GET A CALL BACK FROM HER NURSE NATALIA. YOU CAN ASK TIL YOUR BLUE IN THE FACE FOR A REFILL AND SHE NEVER CALLS IT IN OR CALLS BACK. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS HOW THEY ARE STILL IN PRACTICE.

Horrible staff!

Do Not Go There!! The front desk were nasty to patients and the doctor and her assistant were very confrontational and rude with me. The doctor kept questioning me about why my pain management doctor prescribed a certain pain medication to me if it caused side effects and I explained to her several times that this medication is the only thing that helps with my chronic migraines and I have tried several other treatments but that did not work. She just shook her head and said so do you need any prescriptions from me and I said no and she said good and just walked out. Made me feel like I was a drug addict and she did not want me as a patient.

I have been going to Dr. Meleks for over three years. I chose her as my primary care physician because she is a DO and I tend to receive better care and information from these Doctors. She listens to my concerns. She does not 'force' shots, vaccines, or drugs on me since she knows how I feel about holistic medicine and blind prescribing. I work with her suggestions on controlling my weight and naturally dealing with blood pressure and cholesterol issues and she respects my choices. Her nurse, Josie, is a treasure and any follow up information or test results I need comes quickly and with common sense explanations. The girls in the office are busy and I'm sure they are under stress but I have never had an issue with them and they have never been anything other than respectful to me. If you take charge of your health and work to keep it optimal and do what is needed to get it there, you will find Dr. Meleks to be a great partner in that journey. If you expect miracles and instant gratification, you've come to the wrong place and you might want to re-examine your own motives...Be prepared when you see the doctor. Write down what is on your mind and present it. The only thing I worry about is IF and when Dr. Meleks looks to retire because I don't want to lose her.

I have never experienced a more primitive doctors office. The Doctor is ok but the staff is a completely different animal. The office hours are not the best for working individuals. Because I need monthly medications which are controlled it is even more of a challenge. The sister office is even worse. The staff there are unprofessional, rude, and are not very helpful at all. I provided my license to the receptionsist for my script and even with the license in her hand gave me someone else's presicription. But this doesnt surprise me considering that the office manager is the worst out of the whole bunch. She has an excuse for everything. Never once accepting responsibility or even apologinzing for the mistakes her staff has made on numerous occasions. Not only does she not accept responsibility but dismiss's and rolls her eyes alot. Very unprofessional.

Am very happy I found Dr Meleks.She is a busy,hardworking, down to earth lady.Her staff are very helpful especially Nurse Josie and admin Gina. Highly recommend this office in North Port. Maria B

Great doctor and staff!

Not terribke, but Dr Meleks isn't very talkative and seems a bit dismissive if you voice a concern. She is very to the point and seems a bit rushed to get your appointment over with. As someone who has difficulty standing up for herself this is not a good fit for me.

Avoid! Not taking a good care of patients, rude. I felt like she was trying to let me go as fast as she can, not really taking time to examine me.
