I was able to get a very quick appointment with Dr. Melisi for my sciatica. The appointment went well, Dr. Melisi explained everything that he would do if I decided to do surgery in debt, which I have decided to move forward with. All of his staff were very helpful, meticulous, knowledgeable, friendly and I highly recommend this practice and especially Dr. Melisi! Thank you all!

Dr. Melisi is so knowledgeable and explains procedures in full. He has an easy going manner but tells you like it is! I’m glad I was referred to him.

Dr. Melisi saved my life in multiple ways. I was paralyzed from the waist down. I had a spinal cord stroke. He found a spinal abscess. He cleared out the infection and performed a successful laminectomy. He found / cleared out the infection before my bone marrow and spinal cord spread the infection, which would have killed me.
I was able to successfully recover completely. I am walking now unassisted and have regained all my strength and endurance I had prior to the stroke.

He was wonderful! He listened to everything I had to say, answered all of my questions, did not make me feel rushed at all during my appointment. He made sure I not only saw my hanging but also understood exactly what it meant, the plan, and anticipated outcomes.
