Dr. Melcher, is absolutely the best in his field. He quickly but carefully diagnosed my nuerologic problems and referred the best surgeon for the cure. I am like a new person in my late 50's and give thanks for Dr. Melcher having treated me. I feel cured.

It's horrible to try and get an apt in this office. The system is all automated. It takes days to reach a real live person. If you need test results it's just as bad. To get an apt., you have to call the last few days of the month or else he's booked and they don't open their apt books for the next month until the last few days of the current month. this office needs a lot of work as far as the lack of human contact.
