The staff was very friendly and efficient. They took x-rays and I saw the Dr. a lot quicker than I thought. His diagnosis and recommendations were spot on, I was feeling better in two days. When you’re away from home not sure who to see, it was comforting to know their are doctors and technicians who care.
Dr Melbourne and staff are absolutely wonderful!! I felt I was treated with deep Respect and regard and looked at as a person and not a situation to be dealt with.
He’s friendly, knowledgeable and kind. Although he didn’t have the best news about my surgery, I trust him.
Super all around!
As a new patient I went to the wrong address. The receptionist was able to work out an appointment with Dr. Melbourne. My problem was addressed and explained thoroughly. Dr Melbourne was very professional. I would highly recommend him.
Excellent!
Awesome Physician Dr Melbourne listened to every issue I have with my hands and wrist. He took notes and explained what was going on with me. And suggested what needs to be done. I feel very comfortable there and confident he will help me. Staff is awesome also. Tony was very nice and believed me when I told him my weight! LOL. And sorry the lady who checked me in, I didn’t get her name extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommend going here. Thank You

He was friendly, we discussed possible causes. He was able to go backwards, and follow up when the possibility was other associated caused for my pain. Made perfect sense to me.
