Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great dr. Visit
First time in dr. Melman’s office, very friendly and efficient staff. Almost no wait time. Dr. Melman took his time, answering my questions, addressing all my concerns in a pleasant, professional manner. I definitely recommend!

Poor bedside manner, which is a shame because he is clearly knowledgeable. I felt like a dictation note. Doesn't really care to inquire about you as a person, wants to prescribe a treatment and split. His medical assistants seemed hesitant about asking him questions, potentially a culture of intimidation in his office. Snappy lady at the front desk, not a great vibe... Would not recommend.

Has no bedside manners and does not discuss anything about patients' needs. He just leaves exam room without asking patient if they have questions.

Dr. Melman is highly observant and thorough and accurately assesses what he sees. Nothing sloppy or lazy there. The follow up is friendly and professional. He is a very good doctor.

Dr. Melman was able to diagnose a rare condition I have that was missed by four other doctors. He was very caring and called me at home to discuss my case. I am thrilled have found him.

Dr.melman does not care about his patients at all. I went to him for acne control and everytime i had a question he would try to bypass answering anything just to get me out of his office. All he cares about is your money. Do yourself a favor, do not go here. The receptioists are nasty and are not in the least bit helpful with scheduling or appointments.
