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.

He’s turned into Mr. Crabs!
He birthed both my children. Both C-sections. Second one was nothing like the first one. After explaining pain in c-section scar and pelvic pain he told me it was due to weight gain and wouldn’t listen to my concerns. Years later I find out that Gynecologist do not reopen a c-section scar that I need a general surgeon. I’m having the worst pain of my life. It feels like marbles are growing inside me. I think it’s due to Dr. Mel. Not sewing me up correctly. Besides that the older he has gotten the more he don’t care and is a crabby old man!

HORRIBLE experience! I wouldn’t recommend him to my worst enemy! He was so rude and inconsiderate. He asked one of his nurses to check my pulse, she asked him “How do you do that!?” I told her I could check it with my watch, it sent a message to my phone once it was finished reading, I went to open it (No one was in the room at that time) Michael Melanson walks in the room & YANKS the phone out of my hand & brings it to his receptionist! This man is too old and rude to still be practicing!

Horrible! Rude, degrading, mentally abusive. Physically scarred me during biopsy causing burns on my skin from silver nitrate usage. Did not stitch me up as I was told by follow up doctor should have been done. Do not put your health at risk!

He told me I was going to miscarry at 3 weeks because my hormone levels weren’t high enough. Who tells a patient that in early pregnancy?! Also very rude.
