I have seen Dr Melendez for several years and have received the best care, because he generally cares. Thank you for always listening and being an amazing person and a great Dr.
He explained every step as he was doing it he made sure that I was calm, and I knew that what he was doing during each item and made sure I was comfortable And his discharge nurse was very nice also
