Review for Dr. Melekhin
I had surgery on my bunion about two years ago. Surgery day he was a hour late and during surgery he damaged a nerve that has left me with paralyzed toes and a rare disease now called CRPS II for the rest of my life. Now I am in worse pain then what I started with. He couldn’t even say sorry....
