Derrick Melody MD

By chance, in May I saw Dr. Melody Derrick at my usual CDH hospital office location when my regular doctor from the same office — Dr. James Carsten — was not available for the week. Since I had not been able to get in with my regular doctor, I had to have some on-​the-​fly blood tests two days before at a Cadence Convenience Care location. While the results were not alarming, I was told to follow up with my regular doctor a few days later.
By chance, I was able to see Dr. Derrick as a substitute within two days and to go over my results. My office visit was very suffice, to say the least.
Dr. Derrick was very prompt (I was only waiting in the doctor’s room roughly 5 – 8 minutes), extremely nice. We went over my previous blood tests and what was going on, and just for precaution — she ordered me a few more tests. We even went over some of my other previous tests (from previous visits with Dr. Carsten) which I thought was very nice.
Within a few days, all of my tests results had come back with good news, and Dr. Derrick posted the results very quickly on my CDH MYCHART, and answered my emails. I was quite nervous waiting for some of these results, and Dr. Derrick tried to re-​assure me that more than likely I was going to be just fine. She has a very nice bedside manner and I didn’t seem «rushed» out of the room.
While Dr. Derrick is not my regular doctor, I would highly recommend her as a new doctor if you are searching for one — or — if by some chance your regular doctor of the same location may not be in, and you need to see a doctor in a pinch. She is very nice, thorough, and it also didn’t hurt that she is very attractive. :)
Highly recommended.

Excellent doctor, fairly easy to get an appointment, and REALLY listens.
