Medstar Saint Mary's Hospital: ""Excellent quality patient care and bedside manner. She’s an amazing provider in an emergency room with not the greatest reputation. Diamond in the rough.
Melissa Sinclair took time to sit with me and seriously grasp the entirety of my medical concerns. She made sure to make me feel comfortable and heard. I felt like more than just another patient. She truly invested time in me. She didn’t delay her care or discharge notes delivery like many providers. She’s extremely thorough, dedicated, compassionate, and understanding. 5 stars all around."" - Nathan
