Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly recommend Dr. Meleis!
Dr. Meleis gave me several chances at a new life. Each one of them gave me more time with my family. Nothing could be more precious! He's a great surgeon and a great man. God bless.

Dr M bed side manner matches his brilliance as a surgeon. He’s charming, the best in his field, and related complicated information to us in a comprehensive, friendly manner. The universe is looking out for you if you get to have him as your doctor.

Dr. Meleis Neurosurgeon
I was actually able to avoid needing surgery but I still appreciate the special care and attention from Dr Meleis, his assistant Philip, and the office staff. I would return in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone who may need spine surgery. Five gold stars

Excellent surgeon and a compassionate doctor
Did the surgery on my life threatening Glioblastoma tumor last fall and it was very successful as far as none of my mental awareness and ability were affected. I left the hospital the next day and then continued on with chemo and radiation therapy. He has great bedside manner (funny too), answers any questions in detail and with candor, and he shows great confidence. I would recommend him highly. I was lucky to be paired up with him at Albany Med and the staff all moved me in and out of the hospital just 1 week after the tumor was discovered.
