Patient Reviews
Jul 15, 2024
Dr. Melisi understood my MRI and knew exactly what was going on. He told me what he was going to do, how the recovery would go, and what my long term status would be .... and then he made it happen. The numbness and pain in my legs is gone (6wks out). My back is fine. His no nonsense confident approach was reassuring. He took-takes time to answer all my questions.I am very thankful I found this competent surgeon to perform my laminectomy and solve the numbness in my legs.
