My experience with Dr. Melamed and his staff was simply one of perfection, excellence, and the best ability imaginable. Dr. Melamed is simply the best at what he does. I did a really really deep dive of research to find someone who I had confidence in. I had a lot of fear involved with my spinal condition and I was really worried.
So I immediately found Dr. Melamed. His name just kept coming up every time I did any kind of search or contacted people in the field that I knew or watched videos. Anywhere I went, he just kept coming up. So it really became an easy decision quickly.
And of course I checked out other providers and specialists and that type of thing. But the more I did that, the bigger the gap became, it just it wasn’t even close and the way I feel I feel like I hired Steph Curry to be my shooting coach or Tom Brady to be my quarterback coach. He’s just the best at what he does from the second you hear him and you’re around him. He just inspires confidence and his ability matches that confidence.
He’s just, again, the best at what he does. And I think he’s gotten the best people around him in terms of being the best at what they do, too. My experience with all the paperwork and the procedures that a terribly broken medical system force you to go through is almost painless. These are the best people at what they do and I can’t recommend them enough and certainly in the future if I need any further care I know exactly where I’m going.
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. …
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. …
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. …
