We are proud to announce Dr. Hooman Melamed at The Spine Pro has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for the eighth consecutive year. This prestigious award is given to only about 7% of the nation’s licensed physicians.

Dr. Melamed’s excellence in orthopedic spine surgery has led him to be one of the best surgeons in the nation year after year. His experience, education, knowledge, and dedication to his patients set him apart from other surgeons.

What is the Castle Connolly Top Doctor Award?

Those selected for this honor are considered among the best in their area of specialty. The Castle Connolly team chooses its award winners based on a number of factors. Their selection process is based on a nominee criterion that includes:

  • Medical education
  • Training
  • Disciplinary history
  • Hospital appointments
  • Research leadership
  • Interpersonal skills

Each year Castle Connolly publishes its top doctor’s list on their website and in various print as well as online partner publications. Through peer-to-peer nominations and screening by Castle Connolly’s physician-led research team, those who receive the award are chosen to represent the best in their field.

Dr. Melamed’s Dedication to Outstanding Patient Care

Dr. Melamed is grateful for this recognition and remains dedicated to providing the best possible care for his patients. The Spine Pro, a practice he founded in 2005, takes a holistic approach to patient care. This integrative approach allows Dr. Melamed to treat his patients without narcotics. Instead, he uses a combination of cutting-edge technology, minimally invasive procedures, and a focus on wellness and prevention.

His commitment to performing ultra minimally invasive spine surgery has resulted in quicker recoveries and less pain for his patients. In April of 2019, Dr. Melamed was the first surgeon in the U.S to perform biportal endoscopic spine surgery (BESS). This innovative technique allows for a minimally invasive approach to spine surgery that was once not possible.

In addition to providing his patients with BESS, he also offers other minimally invasive procedures such as:

Furthermore, Dr. Melamed also provides redo and revision surgeries. These surgeries are performed to correct a previous spine surgery that was not successful. Through his experience and expertise, Dr. Melamed has helped many patients who have had unsuccessful spine surgeries find relief from their pain.

The Spine Pro Difference

The Spine Pro isn’t your average spine surgery practice. Dr. Melamed and his team believe each patient is unique and deserves a personalized treatment plan. “Too many patients get treated based on what is abnormal on imaging. I firmly believe in treating the patient — not the imaging,” says Dr. Melamed.

This individualized approach is just one of the many ways The Spine Pro provides patients with a level of care that is unmatched. Whether you need a minimally invasive spine procedure or revision surgery, Dr. Melamed and his team will work with you to develop a treatment plan geared towards your individual needs.

The Spine Pro may help you find relief from a wide range of spinal conditions and injuries, such as:

At The Spine Pro, patient care is the number one priority. As quoted by Dr. Melamed, “I always believe one must provide the absolute optimum patient care, and the rest will fall into place: Make patient care the number one priority, and everything else will be fine.” Because of this commitment to his patients, it is no surprise Dr. Melamed has been selected as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for the eighth consecutive year. Congrats, Dr. Melamed!

    Dr. Melemed is truly the best! He genuinely cares about his patients, and it shows in every aspect of the care he provides. I recently had an outpatient procedure, and I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with the surgery center. …

    Dr. Melamed is an exceptional physician. I initially came to him for my spine concerns, but he took the time to look at the bigger picture, truly listen, and help me find the right resources and specialists for a separate, complex medical condition outside his specialty. …

    I was incapacitated, couldn’t stand, sit or walk. The pain was excruciating. I’ll spare you the diagnosis, but it was serious. I could only lie down with my foot up to reduce the pain. It required EMERGENCY surgery. …

    Rated 5 out of 5.

    I want to thank Dr. Melamed for taking great care of me. Dr. Melamed performed a minimally invasive microdiscectomy to free nerve that was being pinched and causing pain in my back and in my leg. Dr. Melamed’s approach is a very conservative, which I very much appreciate. …
