Both the doctor and his assistant seemed very hurried. I was given an injection in my hip, but no band-aid was applied. The injection area bled, and I had to call for assistance to have the area cleaned up and bandaged. It was a stressful visit, which I had not anticipated. The doctor did provide me with a follow-up plan, which I appreciated.

Dr Melvin was very helpful and responded to all the questions and concerns that I had.

Dr. Melvin is highly competent, efficient and listens to patients. Really exceptional in every respect. Myron Nordquist

He is attentive and takes his time listening to patients and following through.

I had a pre-surgery appointment in the afternoon with the Dr. The office had asked if I could come in earlier. I did, and ended up waiting 50 minutes. The staff told me that he was conducting pre-surgery evaluations, and that they take time. The office should not have have scheduled me to come at the time knowing full well that he had these lengthy evaluations. Moreover, when I did finally see him, his visit with me was brief. He seemed rushed, and this is not what I expected from him.

Explained everything well. Treated me as an educated partner, not as a dufus as some doctors do.

Excellent surgeon, procedure explained well, excellent communicator, responsive, and overall positive experience.

Great all around--very successful surgery, follow-up, appointment timing, etc. Really a very good experience and great result.

Always listens to my problem and treats with care.

Knowledgeable, efficient and friendly -- tough combination to beat.

He is marvelous; the lack of highest rating is because I always feel he is in a hurry. Therefore I must have all my questions ready.

Excellent work, great ability to explain everything and anything. WOSM's doctors are THE BEST.

Always willing to talk and listen and follow through

Can’t say enough good things about Dr. Melvin! He did my hip revision and his follow up was beyond expectations. Now he’s advising me on my knee pain and gave me a very thorough diagnosis with multiple options. You won’t find a better doctor.

He is the best!!!!

I interviewed four surgeons before deciding on Dr. Melvin for my knee replacement surgery. He was by far at the top of my list.

Very pleasant experience. Doctor was excellent at explaining the issues and helped me to understand the options for dealing with my medical condition.

Friendly and Professional

Dr. Melvin is first rate! He is now taking care of both my husband and me and our aging hips, and we are so grateful for his expertise.

In addition to being a very talented doctor, Dr. Melvin is a wonderful listener. He spent time with me before my surgery answering all my questions. He even called me the day before my surgery to see if I had any other questions. And he fixed me!

Great doctor. Very knowledgable and helpful.

Very understanding and takes the time to explain procedures. Will finish my statement after my surgery!!

Fantastic dēin

Very important! Dr. Melvin listens to his patients...good eye contact..computer no where in the room🏆

Dr. Melvin is the best Orthopedic Dr. in the DC, VA & MD area. If you are having pain in your hip, go and see him. He’ll get You concrete answers as to what’s going on!! Additional to that work on all possible solutions with you. I Recommended

Very professional, personable and takes time to listen to his patients. Manages care in a collaborative manner.

Long wait but worth it. Great Dr. and excellent empathy towards patient. His demeanor and attitude are rare and welcome when you are in pain or worried about your condition.

Great positive approach. One surgical process suggestion: need to issue PT script prior to surgery so that patient can make immediate post-surgery PT evaluation without having to wait for appointment!

Mr Melvin is a gentleman, cordial, interested in the patient, he shows that he wants to help you!

Competent and helpful!

Dr Melvin is so kind. He always makes recommendations that we discuss the pros and cons and next steps

Dr. Melvin is an outstanding physician, and very patient-oriented in his care, it was so reassuring when Dr. Melvin called me the night before surgery to ask if I had any other concerns.

Seldom have experienced such compassion, excellence, thoroughness

Didn't learn much more than I already knew -not much useful information

Excellent bedside manners, and very family friendly.

Attentive. Good listener.

Dr. Melvin was patient answering my questions. His advice helped me to plan a path forward to manage a swollen knee and to eventually resume playing tennis.

I thought he was James Melvin but if he and Stuart are one and the same then I think he is excellent.

However I had to wait for a very long time to see him

Wonderful bedside manner; caring, warm personality; thorough; takes time to listen and address any concerns.

Dr. Melvin listened to my questions, and gave me thorough answers, ones I could understand!

Far surpassed my expectations. The wisest and calmest doctor!The best medical team! Eliska Hasek Coolidge

GREAT!

I would have appreciated more guidance on how to proceed in coming weeks, e,g, what to expect, how to manage the condition.

Best Dr, very professional and kind. Trust worthy!!!👍🙏😊

Dr. Melvin is terrific. He explained my surgery in detail and told me exactly what to expect during my recovery. He was very clear after the surgery what he had found and what I could expect in the future. He is also was extremely kind and friendly.

Dr. Melvin was terrific!! He was very professional and my hip replacement surgery was performed in a timely fashion! He kept me informed through the entire process!

I have been Dr. Melvin’s patient for over a year. When I first came to him, my left knee was in so much pain, and walking was difficult. Now, thanks to his care and physical therapy, I have no pain, and, my mobility has improved immensely.

Dr. Melvin saw immediately what the issues were for my case and promptly came up with a reasoned solution. He created a sense of confidence in his judgment and skills. It will be a pleasure to have him as my surgeon when the time comes.

All good!!

Took time to explain issues and answer my questions.

kept waiting almost an hour.

Professional and efficient.

Dr. Melvin and his medical assistant, Miriam, were wonderful. They handled my medical issues very professionally, and they had a great touch with the patient. All around an excellent visit.

He explained evertYthing to me, however he said he was unable to give me anything thing to relief my pain.

Great bedside manner; explained everything I needed to know.

Before seeing Dr. Melvin, I had been misdiagnosed by several other orthopedists. He took the time to discuss my complicated history and figure out the best path forward. The surgery went well and I was up and moving about within a day.

25-min wait after placed in exam room, which was exceedingly cold.

Very professional.

Excellent care and i appreciate conservative approach. Dr Melvin is very « hands on » which is rare these days, Miriam is the best assistant i have ever encountered, very efficient and kind.

Clear, understandable information was given and treatment options were provided. Dr. Melvin listened to my preferred method of handing my issue and I appreciated his candor.

Great doctor, feel connected with him, and that he cares about how my surgery and rehabilitation is going. He takes time to talk with you about your needs and respond when you have questions in or out of the office. Would recommend him for surgery.

Dr. Melvin is outstanding! He has given me confidence and his thoroughness and kind professional manner is superb. Thank you so much Dr. Melvin. MdG

Dr. Melvin is terrific. A wonderfully nice person and a caring doctor.

It has been approximately 2 weeks since my total knee replacement surgery and I so far I am quite pleased with the outcome. However, the final test will be when I start walking normally and resuming my activities without pain.

He did a great job on my hip!

Great knee replacement doctor

Dr Melvin is an excellent surgeon. He answered all my questions pre op and post op. He communicated with me daily while I was in the hospital. I had some nausea and headaches which were rectified with his medical knowledge.

Dr. Melvin is a young doctor who cares for the patients

Excellent conversation - and I will be in touch with a few more questions Sharon Hays
