Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely would recommend!
Dr. Melick is very patient and kind. I trust his knowledge and experience.

Excellent analysis of issues and treatment
Dr. Melick provided an excellent analysis and explanation for my foot pain and the path forward towards relieving it. He displayed and obvious personal interested in my issues and took time to provide a thorough explanation which helped me better understand the treatment and expected results. It has now been 3 weeks since my treatment and the results and recovery are exactly as Dr. Melick explained. In addition, his staff is friendly, well organized, and I was seen on time.

Exceptional Care
I was pleasantly impressed by Dr. Melick. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a Doctor who really cares for his patients. I was in extreme pain from the gout which was attacking my bunion and he saw me ASAP.

So pleased—have already referred a friend!
Dr. Melick was personable, thorough, and patient. He explained procedure options, took care of my issue while in the office so I didn’t have to make a return visit, and I left with clear Instructions on aftercare at home. Dr. Melick listened patiently to any questions I asked, and responded to my satisfaction. I will absolutely return to him should I need additional podiatry services in the future.

Unsatisfied diagnosis
Dr. Melick said that I should have surgery on my right food, to remove the hardware that was implanted after a bunionectomy. The pain is not constant, nor does it interfere with my ability to walk. So, I will not have surgery. I've had this body for going on 58 years, so I'm the best judge of what should or shouldn't be done. I do not believe that the hardware is causing the pain, in the first place. I believe that it is a 'function' of age. The pain is more apt to be from some mild arthritis. So, I have decided to stay with my current orthopedist. Her practice is Concord Foot and Ankle. If the pain persists or the pain becomes constant, I will see one of her colleagues

I thought Dr. Melick seemed very proficient.
Dr. Melick showed the X-rays of my foot to me and explained what I was seeing. He has a pleasant manner, and I have confidence that he has the ability to help me to eventually recover completely from my fracture even if it is a slow process. I am happy that he is my doctor, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

Treated for Achilles Tendonitis
I’ve suffered with Achilles Tendonitis for many years and Dr Melick decided to take a different approach, I have had 3 shockwave therapy treatmentsand it’s feeling better. I think he is a great doctor and will continue seeing him if the need arises.

Professional & Efficient
I’ve been to see Dr Melick twice and both times I had minimal wait, he was very personable, was knowledgeable and directly diagnosed my issue. He wa sensitive to costs and directed me toward a prefab orthodic insert instead of a custom fit. It works fantastic. No more pain.

This visit was a follow up or status for a broken foot. He answered all my questions and even showed me comparative x rays so that I could see healing taking place. I would strongly recommend Dr. Melick.
