This physician takes follow-ups seriously. And rightly so:
Nobody wants to cross Dr. Mayda Melendez.I wonder how she will do in this era of high-deductible insurance?
It's not that her patients in the Tiny Steps prenatal program at St. Francis Hospital fear her, they just know they'll never hear the end of it.
If they don't show up for their appointments, a nurse will call and ask why. If Melendez suggests they cut back on sweets and they don't, she will follow up at their next visit, offering more warnings. And they know they can't take their newborn home from the hospital until the baby's first doctor appointment is scheduled -- to see Melendez, of course.

It looks like this is part of a residency program, which means that this doctor doesn't have to worry about practice overhead. I suspect that she isn't seeing 25-30 patients a day either.
