Do you take insurance?
No! We feel we best serve our patients without the restrictions that insurance can place on your care.
Can I have insurance and still come to Noreta Family Medicine?
Absolutely! We recommend you have insurance. A high deductible or catastrophic plan can help to pay for larger or unexpected expenses such as emergencies or surgeries. You are also free to join our practice if you have private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or another type of coverage.
What should I do if I have an emergency?
Call 911. Seek help. Get the care you need at that time. When it is appropriate, please call us and inform us of what occurred.
What if I need care on the weekend?
If you have an urgent need that can’t wait for normal business hours, you will be able to contact us by phone. While we will come in on the weekend for urgent needs, we find that that need is very rare. We are not available for routine, non-urgent needs on the weekends. We are dedicated to your care and to a healthy physician-patient relationship.
Do you take care of patients in the hospital?
Not directly, but we have the ability to communicate with the hospital physicians who take care of you. Dr. Boylan maintains credentials with the Prisma Hospital system so she will be able to see your hospital records from the office. Please call us if you are admitted to the hospital or go to the emergency room.
Is there an age limit on who can come to Noreta?
No! We take patients of all ages, from birth on. We want to put the “family” back in family medicine!
Do you make house calls?

Dr. Boylan makes time to get to know you and your life circumstances/stressors that impact your health issues such as hypertension and diabetes, and then she helps you make individualized, realistic goals for changes to diet and activities that you can accomplish. She also follows up by reaching out to you if you forget to touch base with her about your progress with of a condition/illness😉

I have seen Dr. Boylan for about 7-8 years and she has always taken good care of me. She made me feel very comfortable and valued as an individual. Every issue or concern I shared with her about my health was addressed and I always felt heard. I highly recommend Dr. Boylan and Noreta Family Practice.

I am so happy we found Dr. Melissa Boylan and Noreta Family Medicine. As small business owners, providing quality health care benefits to our staff can be pricey but Dr. Boylan has a great solution and we couldn't be happier with her services. Affordable and very detailed health care. What else could you ask for? Thanks Dr. Boylan!!

I feel so lucky to have found Dr Melissa Boylan at Noreta Family Medicine. I’m a woman in my early 30s and I’ve gone a decade overlooking the importance of a primary care doctor and trying to keep up my health with over the counter supplements. Blindly guessing... Dr Boylan makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. A doctor who CARES. My overall health is improving in ways I hadn’t thought possible and I could not be more grateful.

Dr. Boylan is a wonderful and thorough doctor. She does everything herself which cuts so many costs and her membership plan makes so much sense to help avoid insurance and big government control. I am now a big fan of direct primary care and will continue to support her business.
Forrest Nettles
Dr. Boylan exceeded my expectations from the first time she called me. Her comprehensive approach, calm demeanor, clear policies and communication have helped me finally feel at peace with a family doctor. I haven’t even tapped into all of the many services offered at Noreta, but I am so grateful to build a relationship with a doctor that understands both the fiscal and physical problems of this era.
