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.

Melanie Hafford, M.D. is simply AMAZING!!
Dr. Hafford is absolutely amazing, she was professional, personable, she truly cared and quickly diagnosed and successfully completed my uncles surgery. It is difficult to find an excellent doctor / surgeon who also has an amazing bed side manner. I am forever grateful to her and her amazing staff!!

Excellent, am even going to have her do another surgery on my misplaced stomach. She did a rather urgent surgery on my infected gallbladder and I did exceptionally well for being over age 80. All of the other highly recommendations are accurate about Dr. Hafford. I already have a friend interested in getting her misplaced stomach repaired if she is able to cardiac-wise.

I was referred to Dr. Hafford by Dr. Jack Ireland of Baylor but that didn’t mean I was going to be her patient. Her assistant Eloisa started off by being as accommodating as possible and I had an appointment to see whom I came to know as the best Doctor I could have found. I am happy the Hernia repair was diagnosed correctly. My repair was great (Better than I thought) and my recovery is going along as well as I can expect and just as she described. I’m very pleased with Dr. Hafford and staff.

I have been seeing Dr. Hafford for 5 months and recently had surgery by her. She is by far the best doctor I have ever had, and always makes me feel comfortable. It’s like you’re talking to a friend rather than a doctor. She really is great at what she does and I would recommend her to anyone I know.

About 2 weeks ago had laparoscopic, bi-lateral, inguinal hernia repair and doing great. Very little pain after second or third day. Almost no need for pain pills after a day and a half. Dr. Hafford is a master of her craft, very skilled, knowledgeable, and willing to explain procedure in detail and reassure me of good success. Her great bed-side manner provides encouragement that I would highly recommend to anyone considering surgery. I'm already very active. Thanks again.

Dr. Hafford was recommended to me by two of my other doctors, at first I wasn't interested until I went to her seminar, after listening to her explain what Bariatrics actually meant, the different type of surgery there were and the best one for me I became very interested. She is the best doctor on the planet, puts your mind at ease, answers all of your questions and walks you through the whole procedure. I've lost 70 lbs since the surgery, been taken off certain medications and feel great

She's legit, too legit to quit. Dr.Hafford is really professional and takes pride in her work. Every visit she makes sure you understand the process and stress the needs of vitamins. If you are curious about the procedure or have questions she's the one to ask. Also she draws diagrams which is wonderful!
