    Dr Mechelke is a huge asset for CentraCare. I swear she saved my life with a certain diagnosis [...]. But you tell her that, and she Is so humble. [...] I was so fortunate to find Dr Mechelke, and she was taking new patients. Very grateful for her.

    Dr. Mechelke is great. She remembers personal information from appointment to appointment. Takes the time to prepare for the conversation/appointment prior to just walking in the exam room.

    This year has brought a lot of medical concerns but the doctor addressed my questions in understanding my bloodwork and urine results. She asked if I wanted to wait in a colonoscopy and I said yes since I have never had any polyps but it was more to be proactive for a genetic cancer marker discovered 4 years ago.

    I have recommended Dr. Mechelke to others because she does listen, cares, and makes sure you understand any possible treatments and what each treatment entails. SHE CARES, as I said, and is knowledgeable!

    I am always impressed with the preparation and follow-up Dr Mechelke gives me at the Medicare Wellness check. I filled out forms carefully during pre-check-in and she addressed everything without. E coming in with a list. Listened as I expressed displeasure with Pulmonary response and we had a great discussion about plan moving forward. Not at all dismissive, but made me feel we were working together on my health.
