Melvin was horribly and dangerously wrong when I went to CORE. Shortly after my visit, my cultures came back negative, even though Melvin told me it “grossly infected”. Without understanding (or reviewing) my FULL medical history, and without any understanding of my situation, this “surgeon” recklessly advised me to have an amputation, which terrified me - until I had other surgeons, wound care team and infectious disease review this assessment from CORE - and they all independently described Melvin’s diagnosis are absolutely unreliable, wrong, reckless and irresponsible. Please let Melvin know she damaged me and my hopes of recovering. Thank God I was aware enough (I am a former Stryker and Wright medical trauma rep) to have other medical professionals review Melvin’s“diagnosis”. Please understand this is serious, as if I had listened to her, I’d be scheduling an amputation, instead, gratefully, Melvin was completely and shockingly inaccurate. I can be reached at 480.216.2965
Very knowledgeable and friendly. I felt very comfortable with her.
I didn't have a good experience and left just thinking to myself how I can't believe how she spoke to me. I found her to be very abrasive, loud, condescending and she seemed very impatient with me. In any case I won't be seeing her again.
Provider was a good listener, helpful, genuinely interested in my health needs.
Surgical result is excellent! Pain free!
Very compassionate …..
Answered all our questions and explained how the knee works , operates. Very satisfied
A++ Patricia was perfect. Also she put me back together perfectly. Love Love the treatment at the Core.
