Dr. Paula Joyce Melone, MD

i was referred to this doctor over concerns about my baby having growth restriction. his arms and legs were not growing enough. it ended up being fine, just happened because im under 5 feet tall. but this doctor kept mentioning my weight and bmi. she kept talking about my bmi. she made assumptions that i had diabetes. she made comments saying that after pregnancy i should lose weight so i'd be "in perfect shape next time." she told me i was at an extremely unhealthy weight before pregnancy,,,,i have only gained 18 pounds and im 36 weeks now! anyway, later that night, her visit notes came in. she put me down to me recommend a referral to a bariatric center postpartum and mentioned that i was morbidly obese multiple times. it was highly offensive.

Absolutely hated an experience I had with Dr. Melone. Saw her once and then quickly switched to another doctor. She is a bully and quick to jump into a judgment. After about 10 minutes of talking to me, she tried to prescribe unnecessary medication. Stay away or even better, run as fast as you can!!!!

didn't show up for a high-risk amnio and left it to her associate who stopped our baby's heart

Dr. Melone is the greatest. She delivered our high-risk, preemie baby, and took awesome care of us. She cares about her patients and knows her stuff, and she makes hard stuff fun, which is pretty amazing.
