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.

All the services I received with Dr.Melvin have been exceptional. Great bedside manor. I always felt comfortable in situations that normally you wouldn’t feel comfortable. Very professional and always knew he was genuinely concerned to get me better. I drive 1 1/2 hours one way just to use Dr.Melvin and will gladly continue to if any need arises in the future. I highly recommend him and his services.

His office staff is very negligent when it comes to scheduling a surgery. It’s been almost half a year since my husband was seen and we still can’t get anyone on the phone. Awful service.
