Dr. Melamed does not care if his patients live or die or about their quality of life. No follow up care despite the massive danger of death - my death will be on his head and malpractice insurance. As far as he is concerned, my body and my life belong to him, not me. With my blood pressure through the roof for me, it should be so low it barely keeps me conscious, and my cortisol through the roof, he won't re-scan for aneurysm because I don't have enough family members with aneurysm. Given the low cost of re-scanning and the high risk if there is an aneurysm, he is reckless as well as playing fast and loose with his medical license. All he wants to do is hassle people with his hysterics and be a drain on society. He talks down to patients. He is desperate to be seen as an expert but his demeanor does the opposite. His office violates your privacy and contacts people you never authorized him to contact. Be prepared that it will be near impossible to obtain your own records because nothing you ever say is considered a records request and they will not contact you under any circumstances to respond to a records request. The only way to get any records is to go down there because they will not give you your own records any other way. Do not book an appointment unless you will be in this area frequently. Records are only needed for liability purposes and are useless for medical purposes so perhaps that is why they don't want you to have your own records. His staff are nice and accommodating. The personality of Dr. and staff are always the opposite - either awful staff and a nice Dr. or the other way around, such as here. The one thing both staff and Dr. have in common here is changing their story all the time. The visit is a waste of time, money and energy. But he is 1/9 the cost of what specialists charged 16 years ago so you get what you pay for. read more
