very nice doctor!!
April 21, 2026Vinicius S.Verified patient
I was told to arrive at 7:45am as a new patient. Office was not easy to find. There were printed signs everywhere but none were clear. Office entrance inside building was dark & not well lit. Staff didn’t arrive until 7:55am. She was unfriendly & clearly not happy to be there and it showed. Direct Access recommended Dr. Demelo as an ENT physician, HE IS NOT! Complete waste of my time and I still have an issue. Never again with ZocDoc

He is the best doctor ever.
March 25, 2026Bruna D.Verified patient
This was a great doctors visit, I would usually dread going to the doctor but something makes me want to go back. The doctor was very informative. I was in and out. Every concern that I had was addressed and not dismissed. The front desk was great as well I needed copies of everything for my job and they had no problem giving it to me. A great experience, nothing to improve on. 10/10 highly recommend.

Dr. DeMelo came highly recommended!
I have been looking for a doctor who cares about all I have to say, and after 4 years of not having a PCP, I had A LOT to say.
He listened to everything I had to say intently and came up with a very fair solution. Instead of just prescribing what I thought I needed right away, he suggested we do bloodwork first to be sure we weren’t missing other causes for the concerns I had. I had never even thought it could be a result of anything underlying.
The staff members were knowledgeable, pleasant, quick/ efficient.
The office was VERY CLEAN which I appreciate bc I am a germaphobe.
It smelled good, too.
I did not appreciate getting 7 of the same email but I’m sure that’s a system issue (my advice would be to turn off email notifications).
In short, everything was lovely! Go here!!

Many things to say ! First the doctor 100% lovely person but his staff is terrible , rude people , he send me to take my blood test and the lady from the laboratory was more than rude , she looks unhappy there and her way is treat the patient unwelcome , also this laboratory trying to make me give the my credit card info IN CASE that my insurance don’t cover that test . This is unacceptable how I’m gonna give my info for that ? The insurance always cover the blood test when is anul phisycak exams , this laboratory want overcharge you for just a simple test . I never fount to back unfortunately
