She is a very caring person and definitely shows that she cares and that she listens. It was so nice not being hurried so we could ask our questions. I highly recommend her. She is working under Dr. Christopher Pelt. He is a knee and hip specialist. Very good department.

I thought Meghan was competent however she ask me to wait to see to the physical therapist then had me wait 15 minutes while they had a few laughs outside my room. It was only when I walked out and interrupted them that I got my script. Because it was late in the day, raining and I had an hour 20 minute drive I left without speaking to the PT. I won't be back to U if U.

I only wish IÕd been able to meet Meghan earlier. I needed to have an advocate and regular point of contact who could help me with meds and follow-up. I hadnÕt met her until today, and IÕm wondering how I missed this part in my care. She is awesome.

ORTHOPAEDICS CENTER

Dr. Pelt shows concern for patient. Megan does not. She's all business. In and out. Maybe it was because she was very behind with patients appointments and she was trying to make up time. We'll see in future appointments if this holds true.

Jan 24, 2025
ORTHOPAEDICS CENTER

Ok, I remember Megan, she is a very focused person. She tagged all the bases and explained about my current stage I am at. I enjoyed listening to her and she was very informative. I was very happy with the appointment.
