My normal Dr was out on maternity leave so we chose Dr. Melton for a last minute visit since my baby girl was sick. Everything about this place is great. The experience, the professionalism on top of much more. I highly recommend Baton Rouge Clinic and any and all of their affiliates.
We saw Dr. Melton as a sick visit for my 5 month old. We didn’t wait at all. He did a thorough exam and asked detailed questions. His nurse was great as well. I also had to message him later that evening to ask for a daycare note, and it was on mychart before 7:30am. Very impressed with him and will definitely be my go to back-up when my regular ped is out.
Dr. Melton has been our pediatrician for over 15 years now. He’s honest, communicates well, and has a great deal of compassion
He was very patient and thorough with the well check visit for my kids. He answered every question we had and went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. He’s very easy to talk to as is his staff. His nurse Heather is so kind and compassionate. Instead of being afraid of the doctor, my kids love to go.

Dr. Melton is the best! He has taken care of our children since they were newborns. He along with his staff and doctors associated with him, (Dr. Drum) have always been very professional and personable. They have always gone above and beyond to give us the best care available. I would highly recommend Dr. Melton to anyone.
Dr Melton is tops. My grandson has seen him since birth - 16 years. Dr Melton treats him as an adult - speaking directly with, asking questions, listening intently and providing sound advice and treatment.
Business response:
Hi there, we appreciate you taking the time to leave your positive review! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve your health care needs!
Both of my children have seen Dr. Melton since they were born - 17 years in December. I can’t say enough about how great he has been over that time. He’s seen us when we had a lapse in insurance after a job change many years ago, he’s returned calls while trick or treating with his kids when I had a sick baby on her first Halloween. He’s amazing and we love him dearly.
