At PrimeHealthPlus, your care is led by Dr. Sowmya Barrela—an experienced, board-certified internal medicine physician who believes in treating every patient with compassion, respect, and clinical excellence.
With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Barrela has cared for thousands of adults through every stage of health, from preventive checkups to complex medical conditions.
She specializes in internal medicine and hospital-based care, with a particular focus on managing chronic conditions and supporting patients recovering from strokes. Known for her thoughtful listening and thorough approach, Dr. Barrela partners closely with each patient to help them feel seen, heard, and truly cared for.
Now practicing independently, Dr. Barrela is proud to bring personalized, high-quality healthcare to the community—and beyond.
At PrimeHealthPlus, we take pride in delivering the kind of care we’d want for our own families. Every patient is welcomed with compassion, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding their unique health journey.
Our providers work as a unified team, placing your health and experience at the center of everything we do. With advanced technology, clinical expertise, and heartfelt dedication, we strive to make every visit seamless, supportive, and effective as possible.
We offer preventive screenings, accurate lab testing, and personalized care plans for adults and seniors—designed to support long-term wellness and peace of mind.
Every appointment is an opportunity to improve not just one life, but the lives connected to it. And with convenient access across our growing network of locations, you’re always just a call or click away from care that truly cares.
About Us
At MELA Urgent and Primary Care, we believe that every community deserves access to fast, affordable, and high-quality medical care—without the long waits or high costs associated with traditional healthcare systems. Our clinic was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to put patients first and provide a dependable healthcare home for families across Clarkston and neighboring communities.
Located in the heart of Clarkston, our clinic is more than just a healthcare provider—it’s a trusted neighbor. We proudly serve individuals and families of all ages, backgrounds, and health needs, from toddlers with fevers to seniors managing chronic conditions. We know that life doesn’t wait for an appointment, so we offer walk-in urgent care to make sure you’re seen when it matters most.
Whether you’re dealing with a minor injury, seasonal illness, or need ongoing support for long-term health goals, our team is here with personalized care that meets you where you are.
What sets MELA apart is our patient-first approach. We take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you to find the right solutions. Our experienced providers bring not only medical expertise but also cultural sensitivity and kindness to every visit. We offer bilingual support, including for Amharic-speaking patients, so language is never a barrier to quality care.
We see every patient as a whole person—not a chart or case file—and we strive to create an environment where you feel respected, heard, and cared for.
At MELA, we believe that strong communities start with healthy individuals. That’s why we go beyond the exam room to form partnerships with local schools, small businesses, and community organizations. We offer special rates for the uninsured and small employers, and we participate in local events to offer screenings and health education resources.
Our long-term vision is a healthier, more connected Clarkston—where no one delays care because of cost, access, or fear of being misunderstood.
We’re here for you—whether it’s a one-time visit or part of your ongoing wellness journey.
At MELA Urgent and Primary Care, you’ll always find trusted medical care that’s close to home, compassionate at heart, and committed to your health.
