    “I was incapacitated, couldn’t stand, sit or walk. … The pain was excruciating. … 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. … He is a surgeon who knows his craft. His staff was incredible always on point. He used minimally invasive technique to access the lumbar. … Dr. Melamed and his staff are at the top of their game. …”

    “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.”

    “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. … I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthopedic surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and stands up for them.”

    “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.”
