Dr. Ron Melendez MD

Very thorough and clear.

He was very attentive and pleasent.

After avoiding seeing a regular doctor for too many years, I decided to take the plunge and start with an annual physical that was long overdue. Although hesitant at first I decided to trust my dinner plans--I mean my healthcare!, with recommendations from an app. But Siriously folks this just makes life easier than having to spend time waiting on hold with a receptionist and then trying to find a convenient time to book an available appointment time. So on Tuesday I booked an appointment for Wednesday Morning at 10Am (that is what I call immediate satisfaction) with the doctor with the best smile on ZocDoc- as well as the best recommendations. I was a little confused by his office arrangements in that he is in the same office as his wife but has a different and not as established practice as she does. The reason here is up until a year or so ago he was primarily an ER doctor, but due to some mishaps involving sparing, feet and fused vertebrae decided to give up his leisure lifestyle as an emergency room doctor and break into the exciting world of the primary physician. Accordingly he is building his practice and decided to give ZocDoc a try. And how do I know all this? Well after spending about an hour with me going over my medical history he told me, then he did a through exam of me including the doctor taking my temp and blood pressure, made some recommendation to address some chronic problems, sent in some prescriptions electronically to my pharma, and then loaded me up with samples. Then it was off to take some fluid samples. We have a follow up in a few weeks to check how the new meds are doing. Bottom line- nice and seeming smart doc who is not a weirdo who scared away all his patients and is trolling the internet for new ones (in case you were thinking this) and you can trust him with your dinner plans - no that's yelp- I mean your health- I did and will continue to do so. P.S. He takes insurance so don't be confused by that review that sort of implies that he may not.

He was very personable, nice, informative and thorough. I would definitely go back to him.

He was very informative and thorough. He addressed all of ky questions and concerns. The visit was a pleasant experience.

I have been looking for a good doctor for years, someone that could actually sit with me and listen to my concerns. Dr. Melendez is very professional, he introduced himself and told me about medical experience (not a lot of doctors do this), he is taking care of not only the main reason for my visit, but EVERYTHING in general. I am writing this review after my first visit, I already know that he will be my primary doctor for a very long time. I extremely recommend Dr. Melendez to anyone!

Finding a doctor is not an easy thing to do. You are never sure if you your needs are going to be met the way you feel you deserve. As I explained my situation to Dr. Melendez, he genuinely listened to my concerns and documented all that I said. He did not try to rush me making me feel like I was part of a heard needing to get me out the door just to see the next patient. The only draw back is the office not taking my FlexSpending Master Card. Check and cash only are a thing of the past and with many insureance companies having accounts specific to co-pays and a debit card, not having the ability to do that and go through the red tape of sending a reciept and wait for reimbursement is a hassel. Even the doughnut shop takes a card. Asside from that, I could not be more satisfied with my visit. Thanks for the professionalism.

He is a gentleman and a professional at the same time.

A caring individual who took the time to hear my concerns, then came up with a comprehensive plan to address. Dr. Melendez did more in one visit than my previous doctor did in 5 years!

This was my first visit to Dr. Melendez and I was very impressed with the time he took to get to know me, my medical history and my issues. He was thorough, patient and knowledgable. He explained everything to me, even if I repeated a question (I get nervous). Very very exceptional visit with a doctor.

Excellent
