I am 65 years old not one to leave many reviews but my experience with Dr Melgar was so outstanding I wanted to share my story for anyone that may find themself in a similar situation.About a year ago I began to have extreme lower back pain and weakness in my legs and went to my MD who diagnosed me with arthritis. After physical therapy and cortisone shots failed, I was referred to Dr Melgar.Dr. Melgar who after taking and reviewing MRIs said major issue was severe spinal stenosis between my L3 and L4 vertebrae, which is a p... read more
Severe pain due to a pinched nerve in my back. Was admitted to Memorial hosp and was to have emergent surgery last week. Pain level 10 out of 10 and leg and foot numb. Right before the surgery the PA from their office came in and explained to me that there is better OR equipment at a sister hosp across town and that Dr. Melgar would have a better chance for success utilizing that equip so they discharged me home on meds and then I would be put on the surgery schedule over there “stat”. Ok here I am at home in pain, foot and ... read more
Dr Melgar did surgery on me February of this year (2023) and Im thankful that he took care of me.Not only did he take care of me from beginning to end.....he also made calls for me that was above and beyond his duties to get me scheduled for my surgery. Hopefully I wont need another surgery but if I do Im thankful that DR Miguel Melgar is my doc!!!
VA referral patient-came in saw my MRI and said I can do a fusion on you if you want me to. Did not exam me, did not want to hear anything from me; only lets do surgery. Another surgeon a few months back did not talk or say anything like this doctor which is wanting to go immediately in a do a big surgery.
This is more about my daddy than me. My dad was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer at the end of 2019, and Dr. Melgar was very thorough in the surgeries that my dad needed. A very caring person, indeed. When it felt like my dad wasn't going to make it much longer, he knew what was going on and was able to help. My dad passed away in 2020, but I am grateful for Dr. Melgar for the months that my daddy got to live.
What a worthless doctor, it has been 3 months and I still have to wait 3 more before I even see him! I have done all the test once even twice on some of the X-rays, CT, PT, and pain management and still no doctor! I am in pain every day and do not sleep some nights and he feels it is ok to wait this long. And the CT scan. No results for 6 months, really. Why read them over the weekend? Go to anyone but this doctor! And I put my name on this because they know it is true oh and while at the image diagnosis they told me to have... read more
Did my first brain surgery. Saved my life. This is Dr Melgar's biggest miracle. God bless you and thank you for being my doctor. May God always bless you and your family. Thank you for being there for me again
Outstanding
Saw MD once for about 3 minutes. Lied about examining me, answered no questions, and never explained anything to me. Just said not a good surgical candidate and surgical intervention not needed, but never why. More like because I have Tricare and they pay less
