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.

Amazing doctor!
Dr. Melchor is a great PC doctor. When in need of an emergency visit he’s available.

Small, personal office where they know who you are and why you are there. The staff are wonderful and friendly. Dr. Melchor goes over and above to treat you, and if it's something which should be treated immediately by a specialist he doesn't mess around. He'll tell you what you need to know and will recommend who to see. He's been our doctor for a decade with no regrets; I don't know what we would have done without his help during difficult medical times we've been through.

I’ve known Dr. Melchor for over 20 years. He was my mother’s doctor until she passed away. I work in healthcare and interact with doctors everyday - he is by far the most caring and compassionate doctor that I’ve ever come across and is always eager to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a family doctor.

Dr Melchor has been my PCP for 3 years now. He returns my calls when I have concerns. His office has ‘follow my health’ app where I find so easy to email him, view my health results, set up appointment, etc

Dr, Melchor is the best primary care doctor that I've seen, I have been going to him for many years. His knowledge and skills are excellent, treats his patients very well, spends time with patients and explains about your condition in an understandable and gives instructions clearly. He follows up on the phone after a visit and discuss test findings.

Dr. Melchor has been my primary care physician for years and truly grateful for that. He treats me as a person and not as a patient. He displays professionalism in every encounter I have with him in his office. I always feel safe under his care. His clinic assistant, Rosalie, who has a bubbly personality makes you feel so at ease in the examination room. His receptionist is so helpful and accommodating. Even though I live in Queens, I do not mind the distance whenever I am beset with health concerns.

The doctor was self absorbed and only talked about himself. Plus one had to wait almost one hour to see him. The staff was rude and curt. This is not a friendly office.

Dr. Melchor has been our GP for years. He is unlike many doctor's who don't know who you are or where your health is at unless they look at your chart first. He knows all of his patients and their situations. Dr. Melchor keeps up on the latest medical advances, has a superb memory, and knows many of the top specialists in the various fields. He might call you on excuses or laziness about you doing the right thing for yourself, but it's because he cares, and I'll take that kind of doctor every time.

Ive been going to Dr. Melchor for yrs. Hes helped w/fibromyalgia pain when all the Pain Mgmt drs I went to wanted me to take more medication than I needed. He spends the time you need & is always up on latest findings/new treatments. He does FULL yearly cks incl'g heart,etc. He caught a problem & sent me to an oncologist who confirmed the precursor to multiple myeloma (blood cancer). What Dr. answers his cell at home when the office is closed? ONLY HE DOES. His staff is very kind & helpful!!!

I have been going to Dr. Melchor's office for several years now I don't have any chronic issues even so Dr. Melchor does a thorough examination I feel he does care about his patients he takes the time to perform a thorough evaluation and spends the time to go over the results my experience is that he calls me the following day after doing blood work to give me the results I don't have to chase the doctor for the results or go back to his office to get the results of my tests.

He had told me that my mom is past her life span. He is irritable when I asked him questions regarding my mom's condition. Considering that I have met different doctors for my parents and myself, he has the lowest rate and I won't recommend him to anyone.
