Review for Dr. Melhorn
Had a colonoscopy with him. Terrible experience. Not interested in my history and seemed bored when I insisted on telling him about my past history. In a hurry and dismissive. I have no idea if he really examined me thoroughly. Will never see him again.

Dr. Callison was happy to take time to get to know me and understand my needs and goals. She was very thorough in examining me and my lab work and was very helpful in getting me through some difficult conditions.
