Dr felinski is always very friendly and kind to me and mymom make my visit comfortable
I m so glad to be in Memorial. I just have a concern that I am looking for a pediatric for all my 3 kinds in Memorial Harmon and a Gestroandeology for my husband. Whenever I am trying to call for an appointment, the front desk team members are always saying who gave you this number of XYZ doctor and we are not taking ambetter insurance although I have a focused silver plan. My point is how it's possible that I have the same insurance and I can get appointment with doctors and my family with the same insurance are not getting? Looking forward to resolving that concern.
Overall wonderful first visit. Looking forward to continuing care here.
Dr. Felinski and her staff were a very professional and caring team.
I love Dr. Felinski. She is absolutely awesome!
In all situations, very professional and good treatment.
I just think Dr. Melissa Selinsky, she is one of the best doctors I've ever had, and I've had a lot of surgery. She's real patient. She's kind. And she's very, very helpful. I tell you what, I'd be lost without her. I'm considering moving my primary care so that I could be close to her, because I live in Liberty, Texas, and I've been going to Beaumont since 2014, and they've jacked up my body. But it took Dr. Selinsky and her team to definitely get me better. I had a gallbladder that's been bad since 2019, and I've been to five different hospitals, and they've been tossing me around. And Dr. Selinsky said,
Love my Doctor
Excellent
Always treaded with care & made to feel welcome,I love that they greet me by name immediately before I even sign in no matter that I'm 20 minutes early!Feels like they know me even though it's been months since I've been there.
Staff was very friendly and welcoming! Thank you very much to Dr Felinski! Dont know how life would of turned out without you! Thank you all so much
Our experience with Dr. Felinski, her staff, and front desk has always been a delight. There's nothing better than having a cohesive and supportive team while dealing with chronic illness. Their care they provide is top notch and like no other. That is why we continue to come back here for treatment. They treat us like family and the care from Dr. Felinski is exceptional. We cannot rave enough about this facility!
The entire experience was amazing from the front desk staff to the doctor herself. She was amazing. Listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. I'm excited to see her again.
She's awesome. I like her so much. She's very professional. No improvement needed. She's very respectful, kind, and made me feel very relaxed and like I know what's gonna happen next and she just made me feel listened to and I like her so much. She's very good. Thank you.
The staff is amazing. Dr. Melissa Felinski is one of the best surgeons. I would recommend any of my family members and friends to see the hospital that I have been. Thank you guys again for being such amazing people, and thank you for helping me out.
Dr. Felinski and her team members provide.
Fantastic
Dr. Felinsky and Stacy her medical assistant and the nice woman at the front desk are always so nice.
Very nice Doctor and staff, I hope we can workout the insurance issue, so we can proceed with this care.
Dr. Felinski is a good listener and a caring doctor. She takes her time to listen and respond.
Sooo grateful that this visit could be online
Dr. Melissa Felinski saved my life I don't know what more could be said than that, of course her office visits are top notch. 10's across the board.
My experience with the staff and the assistant Stacey was horrible and would make me never want to come back again. The wait time was 1 hour after my scheduled appointment and no one gave me any updates. The care is terrible and neglectful
