Mel knows his stuff. Very intuitive, especially with medical insights to follow up on.

I first went to Mel a couple years ago out of curiosity and I was hooked. He is very skilled and continues to amaze me after each reading.

I have had several readings with Mel Doerr and he is spot on! Unlike other physics a reading with Mel is like sitting down and talking to a friend- only it's confidential and you can pour your heart out! I enjoy the readings, I feel great after speaking to him and being able to reflect on what he says. I feel it is so special that it is so very special to share his gift! I have referred many people to Mel Doerr and feel so fortunate to have Mel as a resource for many things going on in my life. I want to thank Mel for his help and guidance. You will be happy to have a reading With Mel. read more

I follow Mel and his group of psychics on YouTube and they're amazing. I'm looking forward to booking a reading soon with Mel.

Mel has an amazing gift! My reading with him was such a gift. He delivers it all with kindness, compassion and his wonderful sense of humor. He answered all my questions, and the entire meeting felt as if I was talking to a close friend. I received so much insight and a new sense of purpose. I am so grateful for the reading. I will definitely be back! read more

I had a reading 17 years ago and nearly everything he told me came true for me and the other people around me.

Meh. If you have cash to burn, I guess. Not convinced. His predictions for me did not come true. I went twice. Peace.

I cannot day enough about Mel. My daughter in her teens with cancer had a terrible outcome with her surgery. Mel not only gave me peace of mind but he inspired me to hope and work towards more healing, more growing and more living. It was an extremely difficult time and Mel brought so much peace and stability to me that as hollow as I felt, I was filled up again. Momma strong and ready to fight ! Thank you Mel. I will always be grateful to you and love you. Haha even tho we are strangers. This man saw me and my family and guided me into PEACE. Who wants peace?! Go to Mel. read more

I have had the privilege of seeing Mel for over 2 years now and go to him every 3 months. The first time I ever met him, it was IMMEDIATE that he was able to HELP me with the most important issues of my life without me even needing to discuss them. Whether you are a skeptic or not, the first moment you meet him, you will know he truly has a gift that is unexplainable. Furthermore, I had gone to 7 different therapists in my time and ALL of them couldn't help me with the situations I had going one. Mel was able to help me in just one session and this is why I continue to see him every 3 months. If he was closer to me, I would probably see him more! I am so grateful for his guidance in helping me make such important decisions in my life and don't know what I would do without him! He's been my therapist, my confidant, my guider and my friend. GRATEFUL!!! read more

I have seen Mel on and off for 25 yrs. I have often not listened to what he has told me and damn he was right every single time!! He is easy to talk with and has a great sense of humor . He helps put my problems in perspective and his insights are dead on. I have spent more money at a spa then Mel's fee and not come away feeling even a part as good as l do after an hour with him. read more

Mel is very generous with his time and caring. His intuition and psychic abilities are uncanny! Have been going for many, many years to Mel! I feel very comfortable recommending him for both his reasonable rates and his very good and sound unbiased unjudgmental advice. One thing about Mel is he is a people person, so if he's running behind, he'll also give you extra time too--so relax, but book some time to spare!! He really cares about his clients, and it's amazing what he'll remember about you and check in with you about from reading to reading. Highly recommended. You can't go wrong with him. read more

Wonderful experience! Mel was just amazing! It felt like I know him for years! He gave me great information! Im very thankful!

I heard he was great. But didn't really tell me much. He was very expensive.

I had a pleasant experience with Mel. He's been in the Chicagoland area for 25 years. It's funny that he got a bad review previously when he is the teacher of one of the Chicago psychics with the best reviews on Yelp, Delphina, who is also the person who referred me to him! He is definitely a professional. Mel is also a wedding officiant. I was asked in advance if dogs or smoking were a problem for me, so I was not surprised by the dog or smell of cigarettes. They will accommodate to you if it is a problem for you. I was called early to alert me that Mel was running a bit late, so I came in later than my appointment time and did not wait long. The first thing I did in my reading was write my name, date of birth, and place of work on the page he would be writing on for my reading. The entire reading is written on paper by him for you to take home for reflection. We went into conversation regarding an individual and I found he was attaining energy from this individual accurately and was helpful in providing me with insight into the current and future circumstances. He also branched out into intentions of third parties and also accurately depicted these individuals in the reading. Everything that Mel and I discussed was exactly as it is in the current state, but details unknown to me were also explained for an overall sense of understanding of the entire "horizon," so to speak. I got a good vibe from him and our discussion. We definitely were on the same page throughout the entire reading. Mel has stated that in terms of specific time frames he can be off. This is a weak point of his, but he alerts you of a number. Numbers can be an amount of days, weeks, or months, and can also represent a number of a month (i.e. 11 - November). He is also always sure to tell you whether or not he feels years can be a factor in the time frame, but in my case they were not years. This small detail is minuscule when taking the entire reading into consideration. I am not disappointed by any means and would definitely recommend him. I also brought a picture of someone I wanted to discuss, so you can do that too. It's important to note that all psychics don't have certain "criteria" that make them capable of energetic connection. For some people, they use tarot cards as a vessel. Other psychics can just look at you. Some psychics, like Mel, utilize basic demographic information to tune into you or remotely tune into someone who isn't there. This is not unusual and doesn't make him a bad psychic. With that being said, I am definitely satisfied with the service I received today and appreciate Mel's insight into my life circumstances. I will definitely go back. read more

Wow, Mel was FANTASTIC. He started out my session by being friendly welcoming and he immediately went into details that no one would have known. He also connected with my grandmother who had a very important message for me regarding my personal life, and I was floored. I was even more compelled to write a review because each week, something new he predicted has come to light, some good, some challenging, but overall he has given me a sense of comfort and hope for the future. I'm crossing my fingers that the next prediction comes through soon, and knowing him it certainly will! I'm also excited to explore my own intuition and hope to stay in touch with him because there is so much to learn. Thank you so much :) read more

Mel is an amazing psychic! He is caring, thoughtful and very perceptive. He has provided me with important advice, and he is genuine and supportive. If someone else had to wait a few minutes, that's very irrelevant to his skill and expertise. When you meet with Mel, he is totally centered on you -- and knows how to access a higher dimension to give you answers to your questions. I highly recommend Mel and look forward to seeing him again! read more

I went to Mel before purchasing a business and that turned out to be a disaster. Not sure how he could have missed that if he has these abilities. read more

I have had 2 readings with Mel and he answered all my questions and was honest , direct compassionate and thorough! Well worth it for sure --- he is my new life coach !-- he gave me such peace of mind which I needed with his excellent direction and guidance -- highly satisfied and will be seeing him again in July !!!!!! I highly highly recommend his expert services read more

I was referred by a friend years ago to Mel when I felt lost and needed answers of the unknown. I was open to see a psychic and hoped to get some kind of answers. I was so surprised that he actually knew what I need to hear without me telling him why I was there. He has a amazing gift and everything he said actually happened. I have gone back every few years. When leaving after my reading I felt hopefully and looking forward to seeing his predictions come true. I don't think I would wait that long between visits anymore. read more

I learned of Mel from the Infinity Foundation course catalog and had come across his name every time I perused the newest edition over the past couple of years. What struck me about him was the volunteering of his time and talents in providing readings and donating the money to raise money for Infinity's annual gala. I sensed a goodness about him, and one day I felt a strong urge to call and make an appointment. I had not met Mel before my appointment of 3/14/17 nor do I know anyone who has received a reading from him. I live more than 90 minutes from his office, yet he is the one I felt I needed to see. His reading did not disappoint. He's kind and quirky, making him very personable. The readings are conversational in nature, which I found helpful. I had not gone in with specific questions, but I didn't need to. Mel addressed the all-important subjects of my world without prompting. I sat in rapt attention as Mel articulated various details of my life and its developments. I didn't want the session to end. He provided clarity and reassurance on major life decisions I had made or was considering making. It was a powerful experience, and I do believe his gifts and talents are genuine. I had several "Aha!" moments after I left the reading when, upon reflection, his statements "clicked." Someone close to me, a skeptic and one with whom I have a "let's agree to disagree" relationship on matters involving spirituality, acknowledged the insights Mel shared with me would not be available via a Google or Facebook search. I've seen a handful of intuitives in my life and they have different strengths. One of Mel's strengths is that he has an incredible ability to pick up names and phrases. In addition to identifying certain people by their names, he frequently referred to someone close to me by a particular phrase who uses that phrase often and is the only person I associate that phrase with. Mel had another client immediately before me and immediately after. His secretary took client calls while I waited. I gather he is quite busy, which I find a positive quality suggesting he has good business for a reason. I arrived early for my 2:30 appointment, and while I did not check the clock when I went into his office, I don't think it was much after my scheduled time. I'd rather have a skilled psychic, doctor, mechanic, etc. than a punctual one, and if he had been running significantly behind, I would have found the session to have been worth the wait. I read some of the other reviews - both good and bad - when drafting my own, and while I can only speak to my own experience, I suspect those who enter the session judging the office décor or feeling slighted because Mel chatted with his secretary between appointments may have set the tone for their own reading and not been open to receive all he has to offer. His secretary was welcoming and talkative and his puppy, friendly. Compared to other intuitives, I thought his prices were competitive and in some cases much cheaper. I will return, and if scheduling allows, attend class offerings of his. read more

He gave me a fantastic reading! I was amazed by all that he knew, and I felt a great sense of healing after talking to him. I was so pleased I did the reading with him. Even though it was a phone reading, it was just as good as an in person reading. He is fantastic. read more

This guy sucks. I went to him a few years ago. He's so sure of himself that he tape records your session. So you have a track record of the BS he spins and the money you wasted coming to see him. What a crock. Everything was false from the type of computer I'd be using to my next job to my parents having no serious health issues (rewind years later and my dad has passed from stomach cancer). Save your money people! read more

To make a long story short, don't waste your money here. To make a short story long... My scheduled appointment was delayed by over an hour because Mel wanted to squeeze in a friend of one of his other clients 'cause it was her birthday. I would have had no problem with that except the receptionist should have called me to let me know, but she was too busy with her personal phone calls. So I ended up arriving on time and sat in the waiting room for over an hour reading some magazines from 2 years ago. To be fair, I did get a modest discount on my reading due to the delay. The office reminded me of a church basement and reeked of cigarette smoke, so don't wear clothes you actually care about. He and his staff won't smoke while you're there if you don't want them to, but that doesn't mean the second hand lung cancer-causing stuff just magically disappears. Also, if you don't mind dogs, Mel will have one of his running freely around the place. When you call to make an appointment, his staff member will ask you about your preferences and provide you with some information. A reading costs $150 (cash only, at least for the first time) for one hour. Mel will ask you to write down your name, date of birth and age at the beginning of the reading. He will ask you for the full name and age of anyone you ask him about. He will ask you a lot of other questions. Not sure why he would need all this information if he's a real psychic. He will write his predictions down for you to take home. Mel asked me a lot of questions and made educated guesses based on the provided information. For example, when I asked about a family member's health, he asked for her full name and age and proceeded to say something general like..."She will have blood pressure issues." First he says high blood pressure, observes my reaction closely, and changes his "prediction" to low blood pressure after I give him a quizzical look. It also seemed like he was just telling me what I wanted to hear. Most of his predictions do not have any kind of time line - of the two that actually did, he's been off the mark for one, and the other's still going to need a few years to test. I'm not going to hold my breath. If his major predictions actually do turn out to be accurate, I'll edit my rating and review. -------------------- UPDATE (6/26/12) In response to Angelina T.'s review, she's obviously someone from Mel's office trying to salvage his reputation. Otherwise, how would she have supposedly known what day I went in for my reading? Mentioning having his dog in the office was just an FYI for others who may be fearful of or allergic to dogs, not a complaint by any means. To update, I've downgraded my rating to ZERO STARS given the barrage of fake positive reviews all posted on the same day which demonstrates shady business practice. Thank goodness for Yelp's filter function. I'd mentioned in my original review that I would addend my review and rating if Mel's predictions turn out to be accurate, which, to date, they haven't. Unfortunately he just told me what I wanted to hear instead of the truth. If he truly stands behind his "gift from God", he should feel confident that time will tell and this review will evolve accordingly instead of resorting to crooked tactics. In the mean time, I would recommend someone more likely to be authentic like Delphina. Of note, she has all 5 star reviews written by people who didn't just coincidentally join Yelp this month, have more than one other review under their belts, and oh, aren't the person being reviewed! read more

I will not be returning to Mel. Two fundamental issues: 1. Customer service: In both times that I visited Mel (I only returned a second time because the first go around I was slightly intrigued, but not fully satisifed - thought I'd give it a second go) he was late to get started (only about 5 minutes, but that is a lot when you're spending $150), left at one point to take a phone call and played on his phone (texting). I found this very inappropraite. Mel also went on long tangents during my readings about his personal life. With all do respect, I don't really care - this is a paid session and spending 15 minutes talking about yourself is not acceptable. 2. Lack of talent: Based on my experiences with Mel, I am not fully convinced of his 'powers'. My readings with him were years apart - many of the specific items he discussed during the first readings were debunked (example: he mentioned lay offs in my company were coming and, with great confidence, said my job would be spared - almost two weeks after our meeting, I was laid off). Some things he said did resonate, and that is why I returned. I could not decide if they resonated because he had true talent or made slick educated guesses based on my age, gender and info provided. I know believe the latter. During my second reading, he asked a lot of questions - far too many to be legit. If he was the real deal, there was no reason to require such a specific amount of information. Leveraging that info (which I reluctinatley shared because I'm polite) he made more educated, and vauge, predictions. Many of which he back pedeled on when he saw my expression or reaction. I noticed that a lot in the meeting, it was very easy to tell that he was using that observation strategy to lead his predictions. Real or not - I obviously can't say for certain because I'm not Mel. But what I can say based on my experience, I will not be returning. read more

Mel is simply one in a million! He is much more than an intuitive, he also provides me with very sage advice and heartfelt support. Mel is a no "bs" guy and sometimes he has some pretty challenging stuff to tell me--he definitely is NOT one of those who just tells you what you want to hear. That said, it amazes me that I always leave feeling very hopeful. He is also very nonjudgmental, which makes it so easy to discuss anything with him. I have had numerous readings with Mel, and other psychics in the past, but Mel by far is the most detailed and accurate. Even on a first reading, it is like sitting down with an old friend...he amazingly knows your whole story and just has great insights to assist you in figuring out situations. He has been very a very supportive source to me in finding clarity and validation on issues of confusion or life shift for me. I would also like to add that Mel is a wonderful teacher who does great classes up at the Infinity Foundation in Highland Park. Yes Mel often has his dog at the office and will have a cigarette or two during your reading if you are ok with it. Yes his office is eclectic and wonderful as it reflects so much about him. Yes sometimes he runs behind. But that would be because he is extremely generous with his time and he is good about having his staff give ya a call if there is a time issue. It is important to know too that anyone who is familiar with the intuitive community knows that Mel Doerr has been a fixture in Chicagoland for many years. He is a full time intuitive, very booked up and there ain't no neon PSYCHIC sign display at his office. He really has nothing to prove, he has an incredible gift and uses it in a very mindful and caring way. His long standing establishment and work with hundreds of people clearly shows he is the real deal. I give Mel my highest recommendation, he is just a wonderful human being. read more

I have been going to Mel for 10 years. I find his guidance informative, intuitive and very specific...and also entertaining. I have referred about a dozen people to him and everybody always gives me good feedback and shares how things he has told them comes true. I highly recommend Mel to everyone!! read more

I will start by saying I have been to get a reading with Mel 4 times now. What Mel does is absolutely incredible. Words can not describe, what you will walk away with. He has told me my past, present, and my future. By my 4th visit with Mel, many of his first visions had already came true in my life, which was crazy to think about. He has also connected me with loved ones who have passed over. He described exactly how my Grandma smelled and he knew he favorite bird (she loved birds, but she had one favorite) told me about her travels around the world, and named places I didn't even know she had been! I don't think anyone has walked out of his office a "non-believer". There is a peace of mind he gives you that I have not been able to find until I met Mel. Maybe it is hope towards what is to come, or the strength you need to use to get through life's current problem. A price can not be put on the amount of gifts Mel has given me through his readings. I have sent more than 10 close friends and family members to him and each and every one of them has just been blown away and amazed in the best way! I would give Mel 10 stars out of 5 if I could! I can't wait for my 5th reading. read more

He is authentic. I first met Mel at a class on intuition. I thought he was very good. He also told us about his police work. In the class he gave informal short readings and I found his guidance to be accurate. At least 10 years later, a friend of mine was going through a difficult time: her former son-in-law was missing. Police were out searching and everyone was extremely worried. I offered her Mel's number in case she felt like contacting him. She did and he talked to her for quite a while. He told her where to help direct the police to look for the missing person and let her know he was deceased. The young man's body was indeed found where Mel stated and he provided peace of mind in the mean time and helped the discovery happen sooner. According to my friend, he didn't even ask for compensation, despite being offered. Although I have only had a reading from him in his class, I found his reading and this updated encounter years later to show he is gifted at his work and he has great integrity. read more

I just recently met with A different "healer, psychic" only because friends of ours set it up in a group situation. After meeting with this person, I decided to go back and read what Mel had said 17 years ago to me. (I had a written and recorded account of my time with him) Say what you will, but my then boyfriend and I were going through some difficulties due to his insecurities from childhood. We had gone to other types of psychics, tea leave readers, therapists... lie detector test (I failed even though I was telling the truth.. so be careful of those!!!) anyway... We then went to Mel. Mel looked at my then boyfriend and said, "get over it! you will be spending the rest of your life with this woman so start living your life!" He also told us that we would have 3 children and I would have one miscarriage. Guess what, I have 2 beautiful boys 15 and 14. My husband said he was done and we were blessed with the 2. He was very adamant! Then one day 6 years later I found out we had an "oops" and I was thrilled. My husband was totally scared and on the fence. He was really done but was trying to wrap his brain around it. I miscarried the baby and I was devastated. I really thought that my chance of another baby (maybe a little girl) was gone! What we didn't know was that 2 months later we would be blessed with another "oops" We now also have a beautiful loving little lady. My husband can not imagine his life without his daughter. Mel nailed it!!! My husband has some health issues now and I have just reached out to Mel, to come back to see him. We have been to so many Doctors and Mayo and Clinical trials, faith healers etc. After 17 years, I'm going to go back to Mel. read more

Had a great reading with Mel. This was my third session in 10 years. His predictions were accurate from my personal life to my children to my family. Mel takes his time, takes notes for you to keep and reflect on, and always makes it a comfortable, easygoing, interesting experience. Mel is warm and upbeat and takes his time to make sure all of your questions are answered. Great Experience all the way around! read more

Mel Doerr is a compassionate, sensitive, individual that puts you at ease immediately. I have gone to him for several readings and he is truly a skilled psychic. He predicted a job change that I couldn't have even imagined. Yes, it came true. I did not have an interest in changing positions at the time. He speaks with you like a friend, but he is reading you 100%! I like him because he is not just a psychic, but brings his gifts to you of caring and concern. I say, run, don't walk to make your appointment! read more

Love him. Very accurate Have been multiple times and he is always right on. Takes time for questions and spends extra time to make sure you leave happy read more

I heard about Mel through a friend. I've been to a few psychics and I liked Mel right away. He gave me some great insights that were right on the money for people he had never met. That was impressive. He also foresaw some exciting things to come for me in the near future too! Let's hope he's right! To 2019! YAY ME! read more

Mel Doerr...where do I begin?? I have been a happy, loyal and faithful client for 21 years. Typically I see him 2 times a year. However, last year and the year prior I was experiencing an extraordinary amount of turmoil, to say the least. I found myself seeking guidance almost monthly. Mel and his support team displayed compassion beyond belief and genuine concern, going so far as to call and check in with me often. His love for what he has been gifted with is not taken for granted and his love and appreciation for life is contagious. This zest is well represented by his staff and it is for this reason I write this review. There has NEVER been an occasion where what Mel has felt/expressed and guided me on has been even remotely incorrect. I have never felt or made to feel silly about any question. And trust me, I have questions! Your concerns are his concerns. He does his best to rid you of any fears/doubts and is tireless in helping to empower your will. During those 2 years that were unimaginable for me, I followed his direction, even if I was like "What?!" He'd say, "trust me",And I Did! He was so on the mark, he'd tell me what was going to be said and what their responses would be. Yep, it happened precisely as predicted Every Single Time almost word for word. I can obviously go on and on and am excited and proud to share my experiences. If you have any doubts...Don't, you'll forever be amazed! read more

The first time I met Mel, I was 18-years-old and looking for direction. Before I even mentioned any of my current life friendships/relationships, Mel warned me of a specific friend that had entered my life and encouraged me to end the new friendship. Since the friend at the time was one whom I considered having many great qualities, I was confused and somewhat dumbfounded. Nevertheless, a year later, the girl who became my "best friend" turned out to be extremely unstable, deceptive, and a compulsive liar. Mel warned me in advance of this girl, but not only did I ignore his message, I let the girl enter my life and deeply hurt me in the process. Mel has and always will be informative, resourceful, and accurate. read more

Now Let's Talk About A Real Psychic Wow One Of The best Psychic's I Got A Reading from I'm a psychic junkie so I have had my good and bad but this was so right on it was a amazing I will so be back for more I Can't wait for my next reading from this psychic so thumb's Up too the amazing psychic read more

I had the oppertunity of visiting Mel yesterday. I found his predictions and commentary to be uncanny and accurate. He pin pointed things going on in my life immediately and gave me insight into the future on the same. I would highly recommend him. I did have to wait 1/2 to see him. I would advise calling before you come for your appt to see how his schedule is going that day. read more

I had a reading with Mel as a gift from a client a few years back. I'd say he was 80% accurate...in the middle of the reading he blurted out "don't move to Wisconsin"...well now that I live in WI, I often think back at what good advice I didn't take! (who knows how things turn out, but at the time I had no thought of moving here, so for him to say it at all...and WI has not been good for me or my family) LOL...there were a few things he was off about, but most were spot on in one way or another...(things detailed enough to say the kind of place I would work, the kind of hours, etc) He also has a kind demeanor, makes you feel comfortable and if nothing else, therapists charge around $225 an hour...if his insight helps, it was a bargain. I'm a pretty go with the flow person, the smoking did not bother me, nor did the pup. His office was fine, I didn't wait long for my appointment, all was well. read more

Our whole family feels so fortunate to know Mel Doerr! Both my sons, my husband and I have benefited from his intuitive guidance, psychic wisdom, generosity and genuine caring. Through his conversational style, he easily hones in on specific answers to questions that we have. Indeed, his readings never disappoint us. We appreciate him so much, and have come back regularly to get his guidance. Mel is very warm, humble, and a real treasure to the world. He has helped our family understand everything from relationship questions to health and career matters. He has also been able to channel our spirit guides to support us. I know his skills have led him to helping discover mssing people, and he has even been acknowledged by former President Clinton for his work. His rates are most reasonable, and having a reading with him will be something you'll appreciate for a long time. I'd HIGHLY recommend Mel! read more

I first visited Mel Doerr ten years ago, when nothing in my life was working out and I was about to embark on a number of major life changes. I had been referred to him by a friend who was very active in Chicago's metaphysical community. I needed direction, clarification and answers. Mel provided me with this and much, much more. He encouraged me to pursue acting, although at the time, I was a working mom and business professional with no acting chops. Now, I am a SAG union actor booking commercials and films. He warned me told me to leave a serious relationship that would eventually end up with legal problems and heartache. The man he spoke of was indeed arrested twice. Mel also accurately described the details surrounding my fiancé's background, employment, height and physical features months before we met. Surprisingly, Mel also predicted that I would be in a major car accident, but assured me, everyone would be fine. Two weeks later, a driver ran a red light and hit my car head on. Strangely enough, a friend was driving my vehicle at the time and I was buckled safely in the back seat next to my young daughter and we were all unharmed. I've visit Mel at least once a year for an annual update reading and I enjoy is entertaining personality, wit and humor. He has been a guiding light for me and for many of my friends and family members. I strongly recommend him as an advisor and an intuitive. Dianne read more
