Dr. Ali Mohammad Melhem, MD

The worst doctor ever. Everyone is diagnosed bipolar. He gave me a medication that made hallucinate. He didn’t care. Dangerous practices…

Dr. Melhem is a great physician who cares deeply about his patients.

Two of his hospitals were shut down because of his incompetence. He would show up after 9pm if at all so that he wouldn't have to deal with us. He wasn't rude but he also rushed and tactfully avoided all questions regarding care or medicines. Is a big believer of not giving antidepressants. Avoid at all costs. Cambridge hospital was responsible for a death and they also buried sexual abuse claims

I can't believe these negative reviews! Dr A has helped me tremendously, so much I have stayed out of hospital since 2015. Sure, the waiting room wait is long but he has helped me more than any other Dr in the field. If you don't like a med he suggests he will keep trying until you find the right one. I found him to be straightforward and knowledgeable, which I like. I was recommended to him by someone who saw him in hospital and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I only seen him when i was first diagnose bi-polar in Bellaire,O.H. hospital in 2003. He was wonderful!!! after like 3 visits he figured out my diagnoses. I've been doing good. he has kept me out of the hospital since 2003. i live in Follansbee, W.V. and have a different Dr. now, but i'm still on the same formula that he proscribed.

I would not recommend this Dr. To anyone looking to better themselves. I have been going to the facility for months, being prescribed medicine without seeing a real doctor. I have finally met him and now I will not be back. After waiting almost an hour past my scheduled appointment I was finally called back. Dr. Ali was on his phone texting throughout the appointment. He then got extremely rude with me, telling me that he is the Dr. and he doesn't need my opinion. After raising his voice with me a couple of times I asked him to please stop being rude to me. He informed me that I was not going to tell him how to be in his office and if I don't like I can leave (still texting on his phone, by the way.) I will not be back to this facility. I hope this helps future patients make a more informed decision before choosing this doctor.

Worst MD I've had the displeasure of seeing. You will wait over an hour every time you see him or his NP's so don't plan anything that day. I am a classic case of ADHD and he and his Nurse Practitioners refused to prescribe medication proven to work because they are Schedule II controlled substances. They would rather put me through heII with experimental non-stimulant medication that has horrendous side effects and not risk their licenses. DO NOT GO TO HIM.

1. True. Dr. Melhem is paid thousands of dollars by pharmaceutical companies to write their drugs. THOUSANDS. He is a paid "speaker" at their fancy dinners (or lunches) attended by other physicians so he can talk them into writing the drug he is being paid to push. Mainly Astra Zeneca's drugs. You can look this up. 2. True. He fiddles with his cell phone ALL the time as he is juggling his girlfriends which happen to be the pharmaceutical reps he "works with." 3. He is late or NEVER shows up as he is spending time with these rep/girlfriends as he is quite the philanderer and cheats on his wife and two sons. He plays both sides of the field and plays it very well. 4. I could go on but this should cover it. 5. Oh, did I mention he is a narcissist too? Done.

My daughter has been in this faciltiy for more than 8 weeks , the doctor has never talked to me or answer any questions about my daughter medications. By the way good luck trying to talk to him. All contact is by the therapist. He will never talk to you as a parent, he will drug your child and thats it. Please do not put your child under this doctor or this factility care. YOur child will not get better.

Always late/or cancels appts., he fiddles w/ cell ph. throughout appts. doesn't listen, appears to have his own agenda re: prescribing meds. found out he works for a pharm. co. explains why he pushes their product even it doesn't fit with your symptoms. would not recommend.
