My Nurse Practitioner Melissa Mimes was so professional and friendly. She took the time to explain the process taken prior to me making the decision to have the surgery. She recommended a couple of procedures just to make sure that surgery is needed. Not only did she explain the process, but she also made sure that my procedures dates were confirmed prior to me leaving her office. I am glad to have met her and will highly praise her work and her demeaner. SHE IS GREAT !!
She was informative and very interested in my condition.
Very good.
Extremely patient and had a great personality for treating her patient that is in such poor health.
Clear and concise
Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She was able to provide some recommendations for home care.
She was more than I expected. She answered every question we asked of her. My three daughters & I were very happy with the way she explained everything for us.
Related well to myself and my wife. Clearly explained the PEG tube use, advantages, risks, and procedure for getting it installed.
Very good.
She showed true concern & explained everything so I could understand it.
Didn't waste time but spent a good amount of time with the patient.
I gave her specific areas of pain and how and when it happens but she wrote , unspecific abdominal pain. She did not listen or decided she needed to make her opinion come across. I spoke multiple items about the mesh from 3 prior hernia surgeries and the problems it was causing but she looked at me and said are you having problems with mesh and then said I would need to see a different surgeon. Really I was referred to the Complex Hernia Repair office, she did not have any up dated info, the info was so old I had not seen the doctor they had on record since 2007, they did not have my doctors info or any thing she faxed over
When I talk to the nurse practitioner I felt that she sincerely was sympathetic to my discomfort.She made every effort to expedite my testing. Loved her !!!
good provider. this was just a consult appointment. never dealt with OSU before and I am anxious about this organization
Care provider was thorough, professional and easy to communicate with.
Discussed medical history and recent medical history. Answered my questions in a professional manner as well as reassuring me and reviewing a plan of action to reduce and track symptoms in the future. Very helpful. Felt like she had time for me.
Melissa Himes provided little information re: PEG tube placement. Was not helpful re.: where to get bloodwork. Was cursory - not connected with me.
She solved my problem & took good care of it.
personable and attentive. answered all questions and did not seem hurried
Melissa was very nice and acted like she really cared about what I had to say.
was able to give provider weight information from primary provider that explained information asked for, provider very caring and did not hesitate to answer all my questions.
All good.
