Dr Melicher makes a patient immediately comfortable. She is an outstanding surgeon and explains findings and surgical options and plan very well. I am a retired physician and know and have many choices in my care, and would only see Dr Melicher for oculoplastic surgery. She is the best!

Dr Melicher was wonderful. She explained everything and answered all my questions. It seems she did an amazing job on my surgery (just yesterday). I was nervous but trusted her completely and felt very safe in her capable hands. The entire staff was kind, competent and thorough.
