Dr Mellman is amazing I've seen other doctors and been in three hospitals for the issue that I finally was referred to Dr Melman it was a month wait but he saw me same day because of urgency at the time he took so much time with me and my father and his diagnosis was spot on after not being properly diagnosed or treated by other doctors and hospitals. My condition improved within 3 weeks 2 years of pain and frustration it was amazing and he personally called me twice to see how I was doing with treatment. My recent visit was just as a precaution address some concerns they squeezed me in and remembered my situation and asked about my recovery congratulating me on staying sober and never made me feel judged or let it sway his diagnosis. An amazing doctor thorough and extremely knowledgeable, with an effortless confidence, grace, compassion, Witt, respect, and expertise. Love how he speaks with a direct no nonsense tone but it is a also compassion and humor! I wish he could be my primary. He is truly rare and a special person.

Dr. Melman was excellent. He took the time to really explain in detail what was going on with me. He was able to give me answers that many have not and went above and beyond. This was my first time seeing him and I was impressed with all of the staff I dealt with. Will definitely recommend this doctor to anyone needing a vascular surgeon.

Although leg issue was determined with the this first visit, I presume treatment/cure will be discussed at follow up.
