    How was your appointment with Dr. Melvin?

    Feb 09, 2023
    I had hip replacement by Dr.Melvin just 4 weeks ago and am feeling great! Recovery has been very quick, painless, and I am back to doing everything I was doing except without the hip pain that I had put up with for many years. My internist recommended Dr. Melvin and I am so glad he was able to help me quickly and had a wonderful office that was always responsive when you need them. I am greatly appreciative of Dr. Melvin and his team!
