About this video

A patient from Bakersfield thought his pain came from his hip until his primary doctor said it was a back problem and recommended Dr. Melamed. He had surgery in April and says that by June he feels great. He says he walked out after the operation, the pain went away fast, and the 100-mile drive was worth it.

Patient experiences are individual. Individual results vary.

I was having a lot of hip pains, and I thought it was problems in my hip. I went to my primary doctor, and he said I was having back problems, and he highly recommended Dr. Melamed. And I’m very happy that I went to him, because I had surgery in April and it’s June now and I feel great.

The surgery went really well. I was walking within, you know, I walked out of here actually. Pain went away very fast. He just was very good at what he did. And even when I went back, and I’m from Bakersfield, which is, you know, 100 miles away, it was worth driving over here for.
