One of a kind Doctor! I was not awake when He first saw me, due to a motorcycle accident, in the Trauma unit at Skyline Hospital. This MAGIC SURGEON rebuilt my 72 year old left wrist that was fractured in 3 places. The wrist now moves like a new one and I could not be any more happy. Dr. Melton was on call when I came in and GOD granted me the very best DOC AVAILABLE. #1 in my book!!
