Clinician reviewed history before seeing me, examined results of previous treatments and my new sun-induced maladies and prescribed new treatments. I can't imagine how the visit could have been improved.

Melissa Adair is clearly invested in my care and shows concern for the progress of my treatment. She offers flexible treatment options and makes sure I understand the risks and benefits of all of the options. I appreciate the care she provides.
She was professional, polite, easy-going, responsive to my questions.
Very professional, friendly, definitely knows what she's doing
SO very glad I have her as a doctor to address my skin and hair needs. She is very responsive and I really appreciate it. Usually I don't like follow-up appointments because in my past experience, they were a waste of time. Her follow-up appointment with me wasn't a waste of time at all. I received more help and information than I expected. Most of the time people don't like going to doctors because they aren't helpful or don't address their problems. She has addressed all of my problems and has been very helpful. I'm excited to see how I improve.
I love this dr and the practice in general!
I already recommend ohsu to people
Great!
She is very friendly and took time to answer all my questions. She took my concerns seriously.
