I had a disc replacement almost a year ago. I feel much better. I chose him to be my surgeon because he came highly recommended from several different sources. Last month,  Dr. Melemed Noticed something wrong in the current x-ray compared to a few months ago. I had zero symptoms and thought I was just fine. He quickly asked to redo the surgery and explain to me what might've happened. The surgical center he sent me to both times have been amazing and I really appreciate the Dr reaching out to me even though I had no symptoms. That speaks highly of his character.

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. I consulted a couple surgeons that didn’t give me any confidence. I got referred to Dr. Melamed. During my initial consultation, he nailed the source of my pain before I could even tell him. His confidence, manner, and his staff made the decision for me. I was scheduled for surgery within 4 weeks. The day before my surgery, I became ill with a flu bug. I was heartbroken to have to cancel, but he moved heaven and earth to get me in within a week. And that took some doing. Dr. Melamed did 2 procedures in ONE day. Total of 5 hours. The next day, although a bit premature, I had the nurse help me get to my feet. In a miracle, I could stand, I could walk, I could sit. There was some rehab time, but as I sit here today, I am 90% recovered.  He is a surgeon who knows his craft. His staff was incredible always on point. He used minimally invasive technique to access the lumbar. His pain regiment did NOT include narcotics, and it worked GREAT. Dr. Melamed and his staff are at the top of their game.  What more can I say?

What a refreshing experience! It has been a long time since I felt like a doctor had the time and interest in my care. Thank you Dr. Melamed to you and your staff. The 115 mile drive was worth the visit.

Dr. Melamed is above and beyond the finest physician, person and surgeon I have ever encountered or could envision.  On three separate, unrelated cases, he has restored my quality of life through challenging spine surgeries.  He has always started with conservative approaches, striving to avoid surgery yet when surgery was clearly required, he performed very skilled, compassionate surgeries on my cervical, cervical fusion and lumbar which allowed me to continue a highly active, unimpacted quality of life.  In all cases, other surgeons recommended more aggressive surgeries and Dr. Melamed always opted for just what was needed (e.g. laminotomy vs. laminectomy) and this always proved to be best for my health and wellbeing. Dr. Melamed has the best skills and compassion of any Surgeon you will ever find.

Staff was absolutely caring and beyond helpful. Dr Melamed is a true patient advocate! And a blessing to my young daughter who suffered tremendously with back pain due to Bertolotti syndrome. He is amazing at what he does and has a genuine compassion for his patients! He has a heart of gold! I would highly recommend this office.

I am a retired firefighter with 29 years of service. I was forced to retire because of back injuries I sustained during my career. Over the years, Dr. Melamed has performed three lumbar procedures on me, and in 2024, he performed a triple cervical disc replacement. Dr. Melamed is an outstanding orthopedic surgeon, but what truly sets him apart is the way he advocates for his patients. Every one of my procedures was initially denied by Workers’ Compensation. Rather than simply accepting those decisions, Dr. Melamed personally contacted the doctors who had denied my treatments and fought to have those decisions changed. Because of his efforts on my behalf, I was able to receive the treatment I truly needed. Dr. Melamed went above and beyond to make sure I received the care I needed. Not many doctors are willing to take that extra time and personally fight for their patients. He did exactly that for me. I wish there were more doctors like Dr. Melamed—doctors who are ethical, compassionate, dedicated, and willing to do the right thing for their patients. I am extremely grateful for everything he has done for me. Dr. Melamed is not only an exceptional orthopedic surgeon; he is a true patient advocate. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and stands up for them.

Very attentive staff and professional response time. Quick access to initial appointment and accurate, timely process from assessment to surgery. Ethical, caring physician with high standard of excellence in all areas of treatment. Navigated insurance communications to procure coverage and schedule surgery within days per medical necessity. Would highly recommend Dr Melamed and his office.

I had a great experience at The Spine Pro with Dr. Hooman Melamed. From the moment I arrived, the staff (Paty, Sarah and Nelly) were welcoming, professional, and attentive. Everyone took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Melamed was knowledgeable, compassionate, and explained everything regarding the surgery clearly, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. The office was clean, well-organized, and efficiently run. I truly appreciated the excellent care and positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend The Spine Pro with Dr. Melamed and the entire team to anyone looking for outstanding surgical care.

I highly recommend Dr. Hooman. From the very first appointment, I felt that I was in the hands of a knowledgeable, experienced, and truly caring physician. He took the time to listen, answered all of my questions with patience, and explained everything in a way that made me feel confident and comfortable. I met with several doctors before making my decision, but Dr. Hooman earned my trust from the very first minute. His professionalism, attention to detail, and thoughtful approach gave me complete confidence in his recommendations. I truly trust his judgment and will continue my treatment and follow-up care only with him. I’m very grateful to have found such an outstanding doctor.
