“Dr. Melemed is truly the best! He genuinely cares about his patients, and it shows in every aspect of the care he provides. I recently had an outpatient procedure, and I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with the surgery center. From check-in to discharge, the entire experience felt like five-star treatment! The staff was professional, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable. Over the years, I’ve recommended Dr. Melemed to numerous people, all of whom have had wonderful experiences and successful outcomes. I finally had the opportunity to experience his care firsthand, and I’m so glad I did! He and his entire team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Melemed and his staff!”
“Dr. Melamed is an exceptional physician. I initially came to him for my spine concerns, but he took the time to look at the bigger picture, truly listen, and help me find the right resources and specialists for a separate, complex medical condition outside his specialty. Throughout a long and frustrating medical journey, he has been one of the few physicians who has made me feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported. His professionalism, knowledge, and compassion have made a meaningful difference in my care. I am beyond grateful for his continued support and cannot recommend him enough. Thank you, Dr. Melamed!”
“I was incapacitated, couldn’t stand, sit or walk. The pain was excruciating. I’ll spare you the diagnosis, but it was serious. I could only lie down with my foot up to reduce the pain. It required EMERGENCY surgery. I consulted a couple surgeons that didn’t give me any confidence. I got referred to Dr. Melamed. During my initial consultation, he nailed the source of my pain before I could even tell him. His confidence, manner, and his staff made the decision for me. I was scheduled for surgery within 4 weeks. The day before my surgery, I became ill with a flu bug. I was heartbroken to have to cancel, but he moved heaven and earth to get me in within a week. And that took some doing. Dr. Melamed did 2 procedures in ONE day. Total of 5 hours. The next day, although a bit premature, I had the nurse help me get to my feet. In a miracle, I could stand, I could walk, I could sit. There was some rehab time, but as I sit here today, I am 90% recovered. He is a surgeon who knows his craft. His staff was incredible always on point. He used minimally invasive technique to access the lumbar. His pain regiment did NOT include narcotics, and it worked GREAT. Dr. Melamed and his staff are at the top of their game. What more can I say?”
“I had a great experience at The Spine Pro with Dr. Hooman Melamed. From the moment I arrived, the staff (Paty, Sarah and Nelly) were welcoming, professional, and attentive. Everyone took the time to answer my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr. Melamed was knowledgeable, compassionate, and explained everything regarding the surgery clearly, which gave me confidence and peace of mind. The office was clean, well-organized, and efficiently run. I truly appreciated the excellent care and positive experience from start to finish. I highly recommend The Spine Pro with Dr. Melamed and the entire team to anyone looking for outstanding surgical care.”
“I want to thank Dr. Melamed for taking great care of me. Dr. Melamed performed a minimally invasive microdiscectomy to free nerve that was being pinched and causing pain in my back and in my leg. Dr. Melamed’s approach is a very conservative, which I very much appreciate. As a Dr. chiropractic that I am, I always look towards correcting problems before surgery, but sometimes surgery is needed. Not only did Dr. Melamed take great care of me, but he’s also taken great care of several of my patients, performing both minimal invasive surgeries and also significantly more complex ones. Every single one of my patients has reported great outcomes. I highly recommend Dr. Melamed if you’re looking for a great spine surgeon to take care of you”
“Dr. Hooman Melamed: An Outstanding Surgeon and a Blessing to Our Family If you or a loved one are suffering from severe back pain and feel like you have run out of options, please read our story. For a long time, my wife lived in a state of constant agony. Her chronic back pain registered at an 8 out of 10 on a "good day," but most of the time, it was a punishing 10. The pain regularly kept her up at night and frequently left her in tears. We had exhausted every avenue—seeing multiple pain management specialists, physical therapists and other surgeons—until it became undeniably clear that surgery was her only way out. We first met Dr. Hooman Melamed last year, and from that very first consultation, his diligence and incredible ability to truly listen to the patient set him apart. My wife was understandably nervous about undergoing such a delicate spine surgery, which is why she waited until this year to finally take the leap. To help ease our minds, we scheduled appointments specifically so my entire family could meet with him. Dr. Melamed came through for us with the utmost respect and patience, answering every single question we had. Even when we asked some of the same questions more than once, he never rushed us. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Melamed treated us as if we were his own family. He was completely transparent, explaining every detail of what she would go through and telling us to realistically hope for a 70% reduction in her pain. That elite level of care extends directly to his office staff, who are incredibly kind and always offering their help. In particular, Paty and Nelly were phenomenal—they were consistently on top of every administrative issue that needed to be resolved, making a stressful process so much easier for us. His level of care is, in our opinion, second to none. Today, just one month after her massive surgery, we are incredibly happy to report that her original, debilitating back pain has been virtually erased by Dr. Melamed's miraculous surgery. While we know her full recovery timeline is one year, right now she is only dealing with standard incision pain, which is already gradually diminishing. Dr. Melamed is not just excellent; he is outstanding in every regard. He gave my wife her life back, and to our family, he is truly the best doctor in the world. We will be forever grateful to him and the rest of his wonderful team.”
