This was my first time seeing Kelly and it was a great interaction. She listened to my concerns and talked me through options to help me out. She even collaborated with Dr. Leagalle to finalize our plan for treatment. 5 star!

04/26/2025

The experience was just fine.. she shared a lot of information about hip replacements and things I should do and should not do. She was kind and pleasant. She was certainly knowledgeable about the process of hip replacement. She included my daughter in the conversation. I would be pleased to have an appointment with her again.

04/10/2025

Nurse Skretta was prompt, listened to my issues and came up with a plan that made sense. I’ve only been coming to this practice for a year, but I love how my time is valuable to them too. I’ve never waited more than ten minutes to be seen. Sometimes the wait at my former doctor was two hours. Never a problem with Meritas.

She is great. I have a medical phobia. Kelley and Rachel were very understanding. Five stars I give.

1st visit. Straight forward process. Effective and efficient exam. Personal but no invasive. No waste of time with irrelevant questions.

01/19/2023

I had great appointment. I wanted to meet my new primary care doctor. Dr. Hanson just retired and I was looking a doctor simular to her and her bedside manners. I saw Kelly and she fits what I was looking for. I didn't feel uneasy, not at all. Felt like I knew her for years. That's such a good feeling!

01/17/2023

Kelly was great! She listened to me, took time to answer any questions.

12/29/2022

I highly recommend Kelly Skretta APRN. She listened carefully to my discussion of multiple symptoms. I had several issues going on, connected with a migraine and painful sinus infection. What I received was exactly what was needed ... a prompt appointment, a diagnosis and medical assistance, and the immediate help I needed to improve, following a painful all night battle with acute symptoms.

12/24/2022

Had very good care, appreciated her concern and listening on my issue.

12/21/2022
