I was asked to sign forms electronically without seeing what I was signing. The receptionist told me she would give me a paper copy, but I forgot to ask again and I did not receive them.

Felt instantly at home with all the baby pictures on the walls, a ton of happy "customers". The doctor was very personable and gave free samples!

November 19, 2018Georgina B.Verified patient
The front desk staff and the nurses were wonderful! Very friendly and professional! My appointment was with the nurse practitioner, Fiona. She was extremely professional, talked me through each step of the exam, and answered all my questions. I am extremely anxiety ridden during these appointments and she made me feel at ease. I would’ve liked a little bit more hand holding, hah, but I appreciated the straight to the point, let’s get this exam done and get you out of here approach. She knew I was nervous, so she didn’t want to prolong anything. I also highly appreciated explaining everything to me the entire time. I cannot express how much I also enjoyed the other office staff members. The medical assistant/lab tech was excellent. Best blood draw I’ve ever received! I would recommend this office to others, and I plan on remaining a patient here.

Dr. Melamud was thorough but efficient. Bedside manner was a little lacking, but she wasn't unpleasant. All the women in my family visit her office and recommended her, and I will be returning to her office.
More than 1 year agoMargaret M.Verified patient
Dr. Elaine takes the time to ask questions on your health and how you are doing in general. It took some time to find a gynecologist who takes the time to listen, who is friendly and know her job, but I finally found one in Dr. Melamud which is why I have been going to her for over five years now.
November 21, 2016Georgina B.Verified patient
This doctor explained everything to me in detail, listened to my concerns, and answered all my post menopausal questions. As a cancer survivor I have an extensive medical history, therefore I always have many questions when I see a new physician. I plan to follow-up with her. I also referred my adult daughter.

July 26, 2016Jamie L.Verified patient
The office staff was very welcoming and nice. Dr Melanie was very courteous and understanding. She listened to all of my questions and provided me with all answers that put me at ease. She did not rush through the examination process and she displayed interest in me as a patient. This was my very first visit with Dr. Melanie and I have to she she was wonderful.

Dr. Melamud is an excellent doctor. She answered all of my questions thoroughly. The visit with the doctor was quick and easy. Also my wait time was less than 10 minutes.
May 18, 2016Andreea I.Verified patient
She was very cold.. Uninterested and just plain unconcerned. Don't even ask any questions about health history or medication . Would never go back
More than 1 year agoAkanksha G.Verified patient
Dr. Melamud was very nice and professional, she answered all my questions and calmed my nerves. My only complaint is the wait to see the doctor. I had a 1pm appointment and apparently the entire office is on lunch until then. I arrived about 10 minutes early so I could fill out paperwork and be ready to go for the appointment and the women at the front desk wouldn't help me at all and told me I had to wait until their lunch was over which is a little ridiculous. Once they gave me the paperwork I still had to wait another 30 minutes for my name to get called and about another 15 for the doctor to get into the room.

So, she definitely gave me proper treatment and I am very happy about that. However, her bedside manner was a little lacking. I would have like a little more conversation.
