Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2024
This was my first time meeting Dr. Melo. He fully answered all my questions regarding my hernia condition and clearly described the procedure for surgery and the options. I was especially happy that Dr. Melo wanted to check a previous groin injury that had not healed after more than a year, to see if there may be a hernia in that area as well, and that if so he would repair it after doing the umbilical hernia. I had intended to ask him about the groin pain, so I was grateful that he discussed that with me. Dr. Melo also explained what to expect regarding scheduling my surgery. I am confident that I will receive excellent care in the hands of Dr. Melo. I am happy I chose him to be my surgeon.
