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.

Weird experience
The doctor acted super rushed and made no eye contact. In my opinion, based on his behavior and speech, he tedited edited edited edited. I did not go back.

Sleep Apnea Guy – May 16, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Melder?
Do not see Dr. Melder. He "treated" me for sinus infection for almost a year without resolution. I have never been more sick and received worse care in my life. I see now that he is doing sleep disorders instead of ENT. He does not know what he is doing regarding ENT medicine. I could write more but will just say that I would NOT recommend him to anyone.

Absolutely love this doctor! If you want a guy who listens to you and focuses on your issues, this is the doctor for you. He takes his job and patients very seriously and I really appreciated his no nonsense manners. He figured my issues out very quickly where others had not been able to. Would definitely and without hesitation recommend Dr. Melder to anyone!

Bad Doctor! Arrogant! All he cared about was making money. Didn't care about my problem. Wanted to put me on CPAP when it didn't work for me. Wanted me to use his Medical Equipment Company when my Insurance Company doesn't work that way. You have to use their Medical Equipment Company. Didn't listen to me. Tried to find out what my other options were for Sleep Apena. Don't go to this Doctor. He has little man syndrome !

He's your typical arrogant know-it-all doctor. He wouldn't listen to a thing I said and was not helpful in diagnosing my condition. I would avoid him at all costs.

Not worth going to him. Didn’t help or explain dx. Didn’t stay to even answer questions. Spent less than 30 seconds in exam room. Felt like my dx and my concerns were of no importance.

Dr. Melder helped determine what I had right away. I have been through various doctors who felt I had sleep apnea when in fact he was able to see i did not.

Dr. Melder diagnosed my sleep apnea condition, explained the serious nature of my condition, then explained my treatment my options. Well on the way to dramatically improving my health. Should have gone to see the Doc years ago! Rayna, my specialist is the BEST!
