Stuart Melvin, M.D.

Thorough and encouraging.

He was thorough and careful, his explanations and answers to questions were clear, and [a bonus] he is friendly charming, and has a sense of humor.

Surgery went well. Dr. Melvin is willing to listen and help patients. Cant beat that combination. A good surgeon willing to listen. I would recommend with confidence

From the moment Dr. Melvin entered the room I felt like I was talking to a friend. He listened to me, answered all questions and made me realize I had chosen the right doctor.

Great doctor! Very responsive!

He is clear and confident.

Looks like a movie star, treats one like an utter professional, pinpointed my pain with utmost accuracy, interpreted the Xrays perfectly to diagnose my pain source and exhibited knowledge of future treatments with wisdom far beyond his years—I fell in love today with this doctor!

Clear and helpful.

Dr. Melvin is great. Too many forms to fill out at front desk.

Raised my level of comfort with the surgery, has great bedside manner.

Had to wait a very long time. Was shown into exam room quickly, but waited a long time for Dr. The. He saw me said he would get an injection for me and then I waited over 20 minutes for him to return. Was st office over an hour and a half.

Very informative. Great "bedside manner"

He's open to making sure you're comfortable with what's happening and answer's all questions. Genuinely a really nice person and great surgeon.

Great caring and attentive doctor. Easy to get in contact with. Everything works smoothly in the practice.

After two hips and various other ailments and injuries over the years, Dr. Melvin and WOSM are my only choice for orthopedics.

Great doctor- patient oriented.

Helped my deal with an arthritic knee

Dr. Melvin is though, listens,and takes time explaining. He gives options but allows the patient to help in the decision making process.

Couldn’t be more pleased.

Dr. Melvin was highly recommended by 2 other orthos who do hip surgery. He has been very courteous and informative. Despite having a THR, I may be able to compete again due to his skill as a surgeon.

Had to wait too long to see Dr. Melvin. I think he is an excellent doctor but the wait to see him is almost always more than 30 minutes which could be avoided.

Very open and personable. Takes time to answer all questions and explain procedures.

Excellent doctor, conservative perspective, very nice guy, couldn't ask for more.

But the waiting time 45 minutes

Amazing doctor, and person. He listens, and gives good advice. Very upbeat and state of the art. It is a great practice in general. Every doctor I've had has been terrific.

Informative

Dr. Melvin is an excellent surgeon. He inspires confidence by his clear explanation of your orthopedic problem and how to fix it. He is always kind. I am very lucky he was available when I broke my hip and I am doing beautifully thanks to Dr. Melvin’s expertise.

Competent, knowledgeable, caring.

Dr.Melvin is very caring and seems to understand the 'layers' that come with one after surgery. It isn't always just about the hip and he looks at the whole person.

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.

Very timely, knowledgeable and efficient.

Dr. Melvin is an excellent Doctor Who understands my Desire to keep playing basketball and other sports and works with it very well

Dr. Melvin performed my hip replacement surgery. His manner is calming and comforting, and he explains the process exceedingly well; he never rushes through an appointment, and follows-up personally with phone calls and emails. I feel in great, skilled hands (and mind) with Dr. Melvin

Very pleased with this first visit and anxious to get the surgery done.

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.

Great doctor. Very knowledgeable. Nice

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

Doesn’t get better

Dr. Melvin is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to communicate. I can’t thank him enough for his caring attention to my sore knee.

Care is still underway. I’ll give another evaluation later.

Excellent. Patient contacts. Explained everything clearly. Gave me confidence. I’m sure his surgery was optimum. Juliet Folger

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!!

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.

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!

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.

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
