Dr. Melisi is extremely personable and spent a lot of time with me going over my particular condition. He explained in detail what he believes is going on with my back while showing me the MRI images that were taken and relating it to what a normal "skeletal" spine, and the nerves from it, should look like using a plastic model.

Excelente doctor,trabajo perfecto muy buena atención
Jun-2023
Dr. Melisi took time with us to diagnose and pinpoint the cause of my pain. He developed a plan for me with three options and explained each, plus we agreed that I should have a current MRI to ensure that no other changes have occurred to my back situation in the past six months.
Dr. Melisi’s knowledge and demeanor are reassuring - he does not pressure a decision; instead, he asks questions, listens carefully, consults notes and past history, does physical assessments, and offers options.
He performed highly successful spinal stenosis surgery on me almost eight years ago; I trust him and wouldn’t entrust my future spinal surgery to anyone else.
Dr, Melisi is excellent and has excellent staff supporting him.

I want to say, "Thank you," to Dr. Melisi and to his entire Mechanicsville, VA staff.
I am always treated with respect by Dr. Melisi and his staff. When I visit, I usually have numerous questions to ask. When I leave, I have received the answers from Dr. Melisi based on his professional points of view.
Dr. Melisi takes the time to listen, rather than to halt the conversations. I am enlightened by the insight that he has provided since I became one of his patients.
Thank you.
