"The colonoscopy procedure was performed to perfection and the staff was comforting and attentive. As usual, there were no issues after the procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Meline. He is knowledgable and excellent at his job."
"Dr. Meline and his staff are great. He listens and I am taken care of well. I have been with Dr. Meline for over 30 years and unless he retires I'm not going anywhere else. He uses the latest prep methods so it is so easy to do if you have a colonoscopy."
"This will be my procedure with Dr. Meline. I was extremely satisfied with the procedure, the professionalism, and the care provided by his staff and himself back in 2019. I am having another procedure next week and he thoroughly explained all that was done prior, the risks involved, the steps we are taking to ensure that I am able to keep my colon cancer free. While the day before is not fun, the juice is worth the squeeze. And remember, you can have your colon colonoscopy checked at age 45, not 50 like the insurance companies like to preach. Vic Houze Jr"

"My experience getting an endoscopy and colonoscopy with Dr. Meline was excellent! Everything went very smooth. I highly recommend him! :)"
"Dr. Meline came highly recommended from my fellow co-workers and Radiologists I work with. He performed my colonoscopy and I felt like it was very organized and all the staff made me feel very comfortable as a patient.I even had my brother come from New Mexico for his scope and colonoscopy. I was happy that my colonoscopy came out good , but I was still having problems. So I made a follow up appointment and he was extremely helpful getting me on the right path with my digestive problems. He puts you at ease talking about these personal problems that are not easy to discuss with anyone."
"This was my first colonoscopy check and so I was a little nervous. Dr Meline walked me through the process in details and answered all the questions I had. His office conveniently provided lots of information for preparation in addition to the "prep-kit" at a small reasonable cost (saved me time and money). On the day of the procedure everything went smoothly. The staff were very pleasant and made everything comfortable. I was given a copy of my results (all clear!) and recommendations for the next check up. I would definitely recommend Dr Meline and his staff to anyone reading this review. Very professional and pleasant!"
"Found Dr. Meline on Yelpā¦ was a little scared about it, but I cannot say enough positive things about this doctor and his office. From the time I called to make an appointment, phone was answered by a super friendly comforting woman who made me feel assured. Then the communication from the office setting up my account, tele appointment, and procedure appointment was prompt, easy, convenient. Then the tele appointment was amazing! Dr. Meline was right on time, went over everything, was humorous, spent time to answer any questions, I loved this kind of appointment - total respect of my time. Now to the picking up of what I like to call my weight loss kit.. the prep kit or āSh*%t kitā is offered complete at the doctors office, so convenient and economical. Brilliant idea. The receptionist in Dr. Melineās office was engaging, efficient and thorough. Plus the parking is right outside the office door. Now to my prepā¦ the best prep of my three previous ones. Day of colonoscopyā¦ got to surgical centerā¦ walked in, did my paperwork, was called back all within ten minutes; no time for me to read my book, bummer. Haha Loved, loved loved the āstaff in the backā. Amazingly efficient, friendly, engaging, great communication. Again, everything was on time. Dr. Meline was waiting for me as soon as they wheeled me backā¦ a few questions next thing I know Iām finished and up and Dr. Meline is going over my procedure and results. Asked Dr. Meline if heād be my primary care doctor but he said no go. Great experience! Highly recommend."
"A Colonoscopy is something I put off and years flew by, which as Dr. Meline put it "made me a little behind!" š His lightheartedness made me comfortable with him and the procedure as a whole. His staff were equally as friendly and very professional. I confidently recommend Dr. Meline! Best wishes for wellness!"
"Dr. Meline explained thoroughly the colonoscopy procedure and what would take place post examination. The staff at the surgery center was efficient and had my best interest in mind. I would not hesitate to return if necessary."
"My husband had a colonoscopy procedure with Dr. Meline and we were really happy with the services, he explained anything very perfectly and procedure went very smooth without any complications, staff also, were so knowledgeable and friendly,. we would definitely recommend them."
"kind efficient...much easier than previous colonoscopy"
"Dr. Meline and his staff made my first colonoscopy experience a very smooth one. I appreciated having my initial appointment be a telemed appointment. He was very thorough in his instructions for prep and in his explanation of my procedure. The day of my colonoscopy was handled perfectly start to finish. His office staff is extremely friendly and seem genuinely happy to be at work. They were calming and concerned about my well being. I appreciated this! Great job and I will be referring you as often as I can!"
"I donāt review often but was extremely impressed with Dr. Meline and the entire team. I had a Colonoscopy and it was a seamless process. From check in to the procedure room the staff were extremely friendly, efficient, explained all steps and what to expect. It was as pleasant of an experience as I could have hoped for. Highly recommend Dr. Meline!"
"Iāve been a patient of Dr Meline for 17 years. He was recommended by my gynecologist who said āI wouldnāt trust my butt to any other doctorā. A recommendation doesnāt get any better than that. Dr Meline is very patient and professional. One of his major goals is to prevent cancer so he is extremely thorough when performing his procedures. I believe that Dr Meline - through my regular screenings - will help significantly reduce my chances of developing colon cancer. His office staff, nurses and anesthesiologists are very kind and considerate. His endoscopy center is first rate. I can also honestly say that āI wouldnāt trust my butt to any other doctorā."
"After noticing some symptoms I scheduled a consult with Dr Meline and he recommended that I get a colonoscopy. He located a polyp that if left alone would have turned into cancer. He made me feel comfortable and his staff was great on the day of the procedure. I definitely recommend him"
"I did my research to find "The Best" Gastro with the most impressive credentials. Dr. Meline was the winner! The initial video consult was professional, informative and convenient as I live in Sedona. On the day of the procedure, I felt nervous, but very well taken care of by the wonderful staff and nurses. My anesthesiologist was the best and Dr. Meline had me in and out fairly quickly with no complications. What a relief! He and his office reached out to me after the procedure to follow up. Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy but if you need one, I highly recommend Dr. Meline."
"After facing some weird symptoms over the past few years I recently decided to try to figure out what was happening with my body. I've seen 7 different doctors in the past 6 months and when I brought up the possibility of an auto immune disease like celiac disease I was often dismissed and sent for more tests. I finally found a doctor willing to do a blood panel for celiac which came back with extremely high levels. They recommended me to get a biopsy done but said it would take 3+ months to get into a GI specialist. I decided that I didn't want to wait that long and that is when I found Dr. Meline. He was able to see me via Telehealth in the same week that I called looking for an appointment and validated my concerns of it being celiac while never dismissing my concerns. I was scheduled for my EGD at the endoscopy center, had my appointment, got my results, and had my follow-up appointment in the span of only 2 weeks. I can't explain how much I appreciated the continuous communication and quick response time with both him, his medical assistants, and the receptionists. If you are looking for a GI specialist that prioritizes your time, treats you with respect, and is open to listening to your concerns I would recommend Dr. Meline many times over. I am so grateful that I found him when I did!"
"Dr. Meline and his staff are professional and efficient. They are friendly and keep you informed during the entire process and make the experience as comfortable as possible. I would recommend Dr. Meline and encourage everyone to get tested for colon cancer once they reach 45."
"Dr. Meline, even though very busy, is kind and informative with his patients. As a patient, I feel a lot of confidence in his ability, knowledge, and being thorough. When I had my colonoscopy, I knew I could not have had one done better. His staff is also very thorough and kind. I was given plenty of chances to ask questions and address any concerns I had. Seamless experience."
"A colonoscopy is not a pleasant thing to do, but it is necessary, especially since my mother died of colon cancer. I have to say, Dr Meline in Scottsdale brought humor and comfort (yes comfort) to the procedure. The front office was friendly and helpful. It was the easiest, most painless one Iāve ever had. That was unexpected! By the way, clean bill if health!"
"My husband and I are very impressed with Dr. Meline and his staff. I took my husband to this facility for his colonoscopy 2 days ago. The entire process from start to finish was exemplary and far exceeded our expectations. This facility is top notch, extremely professional and perfectly run. Dr. Meline is a doctor who is very knowledgeable, professional, efficient and also very engaging. Loved his sense of humor and his forthright approach to encouraging people to get their colonscopy checks done sooner rather than later. This doctor is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. My husband was also impressed and was put at ease by the entire process. Dr. Meline made the procedure a very pleasant and positive experience. Thank you Dr. Meline and staff!!"
"This is the go to Dr. To get your colonoscopy. Have been a patient of Dr Meline for over twenty years. Great crew. They know what they are doing. I highly recommend."
