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.

"Dr." Eitan Melamed is an unprofessional, incompetent disgrace to the medical profession. He missed 3 crucial follow-up appointments in a row that resulted in my fractured metacarpals healing improperly. This could have been caught and prevented via surgical intervention had he done his job. Now I've lost 2+ months of recovery progress because I will need to have a corrective surgery.

Professional and caring
Dr Melamed was gracious and considerate. I saw him for Mommy’s thumb when I had a new baby. He felt that surgery would help me but listened to my preference for PT and gave me the referral. His office called to check on me several weeks later. It took quite awhile but PT did work and my wrist and thumb are fine now. I had 3 appts with him total. He was extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of time explaining the condition to me. I highly recommend him.

I cannot say greater things about Dr Melamed and his staff. He seemed very professional and knowledgeable, but unlike other orthopedic doctors I’ve seen, he spent a great deal of time explaining my condition to me. Another doctor saw me for 2 minutes and told me I needed surgery right away. I’m glad I saw Dr Melamed for a 2nd opinion because he said that although surgery is an option, my pain may go improve with some hand therapy. Thankfully I listened to him and my hand is now 100% better!! I highly recommend Dr Melamed as hand surgeon!

Great experience with Melamed. I had a broken radius (wrist fracture) and the bone healed improperly. I had surgery which Dr. Melamed performed and am currently recovering. His bedside manner is great, he listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain what he found and the plan going forward. That being said, you as a patient, must follow through with hand therapy. If you don't you won't be happy with the recovery. Recovery from this is a slow frustrating process

I went to see Dr. Melamed after hurting my wrist from skiing.  He took the time to get to know me and examine my injury. After he read the MRI, he diagnosed me with a fracture that was missed by the radiologist.  He followed up with me about my treatment plan and discussed what I should expect for my recovery.  Dr. Melamed is extremely knowledgable and an expert in his field.  After such a positive experience at his office, I would highly recommend Dr. Melamed.

Dr Melamed is Wonderful! Unfortunately I had good experiences with drs. I saw many of them and had 5 surgeries. But when I first came to dr melamed office, I realize that there is a better way to approach problems. His very professional and understood my problem right away. He will give you all the option exists (most of the drs will send you to surgery right away) and together and will plan your recovery and further treatment! His very patient and honest and I wish I would of find him earlier!

Dr. Melamed is so wonderful. He listened and cared for me as if I was a family member. His warm personality and interest in actually getting to the root of my problem is impressive; a deeply knowledgeable, committed physician who takes the time to engage in a dialogue with his patients. He listens, answers questions openly, and worked with me to ensure I am comfortable with medical decisions and options. Thanks so much! Definetly see him!

Waited 3 weeks for an appointment to go in 45 minutes after my scheduled appointment and not even have my pain addressed and basically felt ignored. I will not be returning to him after I had my injuries ignored and was told to live with the excruciating pain that I have.
