Patient Reviews
Aug 27, 2023
After seeing several orthopedic surgeons about my failed knee replacement and the severe pain that resulted, I finally found Dr Melnic. He was the first surgeon who did not minimize my pain or tell me there was nothing wrong with my implant. Dr. Melnic listened carefully, studied the situation vigorously, and treated me respectfully. He made no promises about outcomes, but his compassion and determination to restore me to health made it easy to put my trust in him. Within two weeks after my revision total knee replacement surgery, I knew I had made the right decision and would be in better shape than before. Within a month, I was walking a mile at a time without assistance. Within 12 weeks, I was riding my bike again. Dr. Melnic’s skill, compassion, and humility gave me my life back. My experience with every person in his office — both clinical and administrative — has been entirely positive.
