It hasn't been an easy road however Dr. Benson had complete confidence in my recovery plan and techniques that have been priceless. I use to blame others for my own decisions and reek havoc in every relationship I've ever had. After having sessions with Dr. Benson I have found new coping skills, insight and the knowledge for emotional maturity that has saved my marriage. I can't say enough about the freedom my husband and and I are experiencing after I was able to take a hard look at myself and do the work necessary that was required by Dr. Benson. I highly recommend anyone who has struggled with addiction, emotional immaturity, marriage issues or life skills in general. Thank you so much Dr. Benson and see you next month.

Once she found out we're both from the same area in Marietta and the same doctor birthed our children, she immediately knew who I was, why my circle is the way it is, and would find commonalities between the two of us. Instead of listening to me and asking probing questions.. she would go into her own story and then my hour was up. That happened the first two visits. The third visit I did my homework and we barely discussed it. I mustered up the courage to ask her to stop cutting me off because I needed to talk through this and she said okay but your hour is up. For the fourth appointment, she texted me the day before, "Morning, I am in Alabama with a family emergency and was going to call u to reschedule. I will contact later today or tomorrow to set up new appt." Well that was 5/12 and still haven't heard from her. As others mentioned she doesn't give receipts for visits and you have to pay your copay in cash because she doesn't like using Square (because they take part of her pay). She doesn't have a receptionist or front desk so there isn't anyone to schedule or talk to if she is in a session. She has two cell phones that she WILL look at during your session as though you don't matter. I will never go back and would not recommend anyone to see her.

So I started making phone calls, and I got Jessica on the phone, not only was very professional but sooo nice and answered all my questions and helped me ease into this process. My first visit was coming up and I was nervous. I got to the office and finally met Jessica and then Dr. Melo! I definitely made many phone calls trying to find a doctor hoped that the choice I made was the right one, and honestly, I could not be happier! He has dealt with everything I've needed with care compassion and ease. I think my favorite part is that I can see him for any and everything and if I need to be referred to a specialist he takes care of that it's just really nice to not have to see 15 different doctors! He is everything I need in one spot always available by phone communicates everything so that I'm not left in the dark and nothing is a surprise I just could not be happier with my decision to go to him and I plan to have him as my doctor for a very long time so if you're looking for a doctor that actually cares and takes the time to Make you feel like you're important Man Dr Melo and Jessica are the way to go if I could give them more than five stars I would!!!
