Patient Reviews
Jan 06, 2026
I chose to have Dr. Melvin do partial knee replacement for me because he was more thorough than other orthopedics I had seen. I also thought he was more up to date in methods and techniques. He has always been respectful of my wishes and answered whatever questions I have had.
