Dr. Melvin Field, MD

Dr. Field treated me both for a brain mass and lumbar spinal stenosis. Both surgeries were successful and about two years apart. Dr. Field is an extremely skilled surgeon with a warm bedside manner. He discusses each issue in layman’s terms and provides understandable explanations of what the surgery would entail along with the risks in each situation. He is compassionate and understands his patient’s needs. He spends time with patients, listening to their questions, and does not rush through an appointment. I was also very pleased with his immediate staff that included a patient care coordinator, an advanced registered nurse practitioner, and a skilled nurse. Each one was very personable and skilled in their respective position. Kudos goes to each of them for the care that I received. If you are looking for someone that is skilled, caring, and compassionate, I do not think you can find a better physician than him.

In 2005 dr field did a laminectomy for a rupturing disk & a tumor that id had for years & was very painful. I was told the surgery might cause paralysis, but was up & walking in a week, & back to work in 2 weeks! Something is going now with my back & i want no one but dr field.

I returned from Iraq in 2004 with a ticking timebomb in my head from an injury I suffered while in the US Army. Nerves in my face had been damaged and I developed a continuous uncontrollable tic on the left side of my face and neck, which progressively worsened over the years. By 2012, doctors were still unable to determine what was causing the issue, misdiagnosing my condition from psychological to Bell's Palsy. Due to PTSD and a number of unfortunate personal events, compounded by this debilitating condition, I had neared the end of my sanity and figurative rope. I eventually, through a series of blessings, was referred to Dr. Field. Fortunately, his office was within a day's driving distance and his office quickly set up an appointment for him to see me. Within five minutes of him seeing me, he knew exactly what my problem was and we began to set up an appointment for surgery to repair the facial nerves that plagued me all those years. The next month, I underwent the surgery, whic

Dr Field was kind, made my son feel comfortable about his surgery, and always explained things to us clearly and thoroughly. I feel lucky to have had him care for my son.

Dr Fields was absolutely amazing if you don't use him you really need your head checked !! I had a shunt placement and I came home and took care of myself and feel 25 years younger and do not forget hardly anything at all now my life is normal THANK YOU !! Dr Fields was everything I expected and much more he is a true rock star !! I have my life back because of him

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Field. I suffered from trigeminal neuralgia for years. Continual increases in meds and pain. Finally said enough. Dr. Field removed small benign tumor that was causing pain, double vision, and vertigo. I feel he saved my life. I'm back to eating, talking, golf, etc. Thank you Dr. Field. You looking for a neurosurgeon? See Dr. Field. The very best.

Today I met Dr Field , me being 73 years young I can honestly say he is the best doctor I have met!!!! So caring , very understanding, and explains everything to you, does not make you feel uncomfortable at all. His staff is just as nice and very efficient. I truly recommend seeing him for honest and caring medical needs.

Great experience. Doctor continued to show great care before and after acoustic neuroma/ facial schannoma. Is following up on any other ideas or surgeries that may be needed to finish repairs. Great staff. Highly recommended for any of your needs

I wouldn't recommend any other Neurosurgeon. Dr. Field was thorough and spent a good amount of time talking throug my concerns. He answered all of my questions and came up with a plan that I was very comfortable with.

Words can not express how grateful I am for Dr. Melvin Field. After a series of tests and a MRI, I was diagnosed with a rather large Pituitary Gland Tumor by my Neuro-Ophthalmologist and he referred me to Dr. Field. My consultation with Dr. Field was such a positive experience and he thoroughly explained everything regarding my tumor/surgery. He has the BEST Surgical Team (Dr. Spector is fantastic) and staff! A month later, I am tumor-free and able to resume normal activities! Praise Jesus!

My symptoms were lower back pain with numbness inside left leg from groin to ankle. Dr Field reviewed the MRI and diagnosed third disk herniation. After review of options I chose minimally invasive surgery. Dr Field found a very large vein just underneath the nerve root. Dr Field skillfully removed the vein and carefully determined no further action was necessary. Five weeks after surgery the back pain and numbness have gone away. His analysis and actions were spot on. Great job by Dr Field.

Ok My other review didn't show up. ?? Unfortunately , I can't and won't recommend Dr. Fields . Nice person . But didn't seem to care after my surgeries. I got the impression , He likes doing the surgeries.But wants no problems after .. I've suffered for over a year because of this. But I finally found a True Dr. that cared enough to fix the problem that Fields blew off .

I fractured my neck 10 years ago and luckily Dr. Field was there to treat me. He is the most wonderful person - kind and considerate and compassionate. I am a nurse and nurses don't make good patients. So, I was a difficult one for him from the very beginning. I cannot begin to tell you all the wonderful things he did for me. It has been 10 years now and I'm still doing well. I have my limitations with my neck, but thanks to him and the Lord, I'm still able to work as a nurse. Thanks!

My appointment was at 3:30 pm. I was told he was running late 45 min. I was put in a room and he finally came in at 5 pm. I was not happy because I knew now my time with him would be rushed, and it was. I was glad I do not need surgery but was hoping he would of had more time to inform me of potential issues I might face with my herniated disk.

When I met Dr. Field I had been having Trigeminal Neuralgia for 8 months continuously with medications only controlling it minimally with many side effects from the drugs.I could no longer drive & my balance was impaired. Dr. Field explained the causes & treatments of the disease. He ordered a special Trigeminal MRI, which showed where the problem was and what procedure would be the most aproprate. He was trained by the Dr. who developed the procedure, Dr Jannetta. We have 100% Success.
