Overall I’ve had a great experience with Dr Mel. This is the third chiropractor office we’ve been to (I guess third times the charm). The first two were not helpful at all and my newborn would cry the whole appointment. My baby was a c section and had a lot of reflux, gas, colic, constipation and kept popping on and off the breast. I had to give her a suppository every 5-7 days to get her to poop... More
Overall I’ve had a great experience with Dr Mel. This is the third chiropractor office we’ve been to (I guess third times the charm). The first two were not helpful at all and my newborn would cry the whole appointment. My baby was a c section and had a lot of reflux, gas, colic, constipation and kept popping on and off the breast. I had to give her a suppository every 5-7 days to get her to poop. (Weight gain was fine she was getting enough but just wasn’t pooping). One visit with Dr Mel and she pooped (after 5 days of no poop) all by herself the next day! Each visit we have had, my baby would poop after (and once during….poor Dr Mel 😂). After her first adjustment with Dr Mel my baby stayed on the breast (without popping on and off) for the first time in 6 weeks! She is feeding better and pooping regularly now. Dr Mel genuinely cares about all her patients and I would recommend her to everyone. Less

Dr Melonie and Jill are the reason that I did not give up and quit breastfeeding.

Dr Melonie and Jill are the reason that I did not give up and quit breastfeeding. Long story short my son had a lip and tongue tie which I had released by a dentist the issue with him was that before the procedure he lost so much weight and was not eating after the procedure he was also barely eating due to his mouth being sore. He ended up in the hospital for failure to thrive it was completely heartbreaking. In the hospital I was given very little support to breastfeed and basically became an exclusive pumper. I really wanted to be able to nurse my son especially being a second time mom and having had a beautiful breastfeeding experience with my daughter. My pediatrician referred me to Begin Well. I called them when I was truly at my lowest my son completely refused to nurse and would only take a bottle. The day I called to make an appointment it was a Friday morning and they made the time for me that afternoon Dr Melonie sat with me for over an hour told evaluate the whole situation and helped me to get him to nurse that day! After that visit I continued to go at least once a week to get him adjusted and have help with latching and feeding I worked with Jill who was amazing and also took the time with me each visit to help me latch my baby and get him to nurse and get good full feeds. I feel that the adjustment before nursing also was a game changer another issue my son had when I first started taking him was that he was VERY TENSE after just a few sessions that tension that he had completely went away. They encouraged me to not give up. When I started going to begin well they helped me latch him and he was feeding using nipple shields which for me and my son worked soo well. I’m happy to report that my son no longer needs a nipple shield at all he nurses 100% the way that he’s supposed to he’s thriving and back on the growth chart for his weight. I have been recommending this office to my friends and family who struggle with breastfeeding. Amazing group of women who genuinely care and willing to take the time to help you. Dr Melonie and Jill are the reason I did not give up! Please see the attached photos of how under weight he was and what he looks like now! Happy healthy and thriving! Less
I thought a long time before writing this review. I want to start this out with saying that the people at this practice are very polite and their chiropractic care is decent.

I thought a long time before writing this review. I want to start this out with saying that the people at this practice are very polite and their chiropractic care is decent. My issue was with their lactation services. On my first visit, they were able to get my son to successfully latch which I was over the moon about! My issue came when my son continued to LOSE weight even 3 weeks after he was born and bottle feeding after breastfeeding. I went in to this practice multiple times with concerns about milk supply. They did a weighted feed, to which the scale said my son transferred half an ounce. I was told that it most likely wasn’t accurate since there was milk in the nipple shield and my son was sleepy after feeding for a while. My son would hysterically screen almost immediately after leaving. I was told to just give him a pacifier. In addition, when I brought up the fact that he wasn’t gaining weight and that my pediatrician told me to feed every 2 hours, they told me to make sure I don’t fed on both sides so that I didn’t create an oversupply and that he didn’t need formula supplementation. The issue was, I didn’t have an adequate milk supply. I decided to go to a different lactation consultant that came highly recommended and discovered that I was only producing 5oz a day. In addition to this, I was told the wrong breast pump flange size which caused lots of pain and didn’t help my milk supply. This issue could have been avoided or improved if the original weighted feed was believed. Less
Impossible to get accurate information on their fee structure. Doesn’t matter how many times you call, or how many times you give your insurance information, the front desk will not give you a clear assessment of the fee structure. The front desk doesn’t has any respect for the patients, so she really don’t care about explaining anything, or giving you any information. It’s a scam.... More

Promotes anti-vax lifestyle. Said CDC guidelines were optional.
Dr. Melonie basically saved my life after my second birth. I could barely walk bc of the way the resident yanked on my baby and messed up my tailbone. She took me in last minute one evening and took her time on me so that I was able to walk without pain the next day. I’m so grateful for her and the way she takes care of my babies as well.... More

Dr. Melonie examined his mouth and discovered he had both a tongue and a lip tie and referred us out for proper treatment.

The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel supported and gives you the tools you need to succeed in your breastfeeding journey. Less
Oh where to start? From the moment you walk in you're greeted by the wonderful receptionist who is seated behind an amazing hand made desk. The craftsmanship was immaculate.

We were pregnant with our first child and always kept Chiro care in the back of our minds (thinking there's no way we will need it, but a good tool to have if we do).

My husband had attended a conference that Dr. Melonie was speaking at last year. We were pregnant with our first child and always kept Chiro care in the back of our minds (thinking there's no way we will need it, but a good tool to have if we do). Well, our son was born with colic and had major breast-feeding issues. Between our medical team and lactation consultation, no one identified a lip or tongue tie. A hungry colic baby + mamas nipples feeling like they were going to fall off, I was in tears every second of the day. Being at the end of our rope, defeated and hallucinating from lack of sleep, we called Begin Well. Melonie got us in the same day, identified the tongue and lip tie that was causing the feeding issues and immediately began working on the colic. New mama thoughts, "Of all people to identify ties in a child, not the medical team, but a chiropractor". THANK GOD FOR MELONIE. I went from HATING the infant stage to loving it after meeting with her. She has now taken care of us with our 2nd child and a post-partum mama. My kids have been ahead in all of their milestones, and I attribute this to Chiro care. Melonie has an amazing team of chiropractors, lactation support, support groups, and educational resources/sessions for all things pregnancy, feeding, and growing a happy healthy human! I cannot thank Melonie and her staff enough for the unwavering support, the timely setting of appointments, and the knowledge of attacking an issue before it happens, as well as, fixing a problem immediately. As a new mom, there was nothing more stressful than wanting to do everything right for your baby. Melonie has done this for our family, and we will be forever grateful for her! Thank you! Less

She provided me with so much information about the process and his treatment. She was so gentle with him and he didn’t even cry while getting adjusted. She has the most calming demeanor and sat and listened to me vent for a long time. I felt like I was chatting with an old friend. She listened to my concerns, really listened and heard me. I am so hopeful for my son to start feeling better with continued care here. Thank you so much to Begin Well Co! Less
