I generally don't leave negative reviews, but I have never had a more horrible experience than at this office and I am trying to spare someone the same. I recently was in a car accident and the airbag deployed on my wrist. I was in pain and I had a visible protrusion on my wrist, so it was evident something was wrong. I arrived to my appointment on time, and the nurse took my car insurance---she told me I had a 500$ deductible for my personal injury protection. I don't. The urgent care center had taken my auto without asking me for payment. This was my first time doing all this, so I didn't quite

I'm going to be 67 next week and had reconstructive surgery on my acl and meniscus by surgeon Paul Meli.I was told by many not to do surgery at my age for this procedure, being I could walk after 3 months of therapy. I work as a maintenance person and need to use a ladder and do.many other physical jobs. I insist on surgery and the good doctor obliged. I am now back to work, going up and down ladders and moving appliances around as if nothing ever happened. Surgeon Paul Meli of Meli Orthopedics calls me his 8th wonder of the world. However, for sure he is a miracle worker.I thank you from the bottom

Deciding whether to have shoulder surgery is an important decision. Dr. Meli guided me through the options and ultimately I decided to have rotator cuff surgery done by Dr. Meli. He communicates extremely well through the whole process, and while there are definitely some very painful times, he and his staff got me through a very difficult time. I'm 100% satisfied with the results, and so appreciate the information and knowledge that was shared with me through the whole situation. I would highly recommend Dr. Meli to anyone in the same situation. And I also used the physical therapy team at his

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr Meli. He performed surgery on my knee on March 1st.then referred me to Physical Therapy right away. The Therapist are excellent and very dedicated. I am definitely foreseeing myself back on track fairly soon. Dr Meli has been hands on and informative from the very beginning. I will definitely recommend him as well as the team of Therapist located in the office.
