Dr. Russell Meldrum, MD

I needed hip replacement surgery and then fell out of bed AND NEEDED it immediately. Dr. Meldrum introduced himself to me at the hospital and we were going to have surgery the next day. Unfortunately tests ran over time and surgery was moved to Weds. Dr. Meldrum kept me calm and notified me of all the goings on leading up to surgery. He is a Saint! Despite being in pain and all by myself I was SO happy to have Dr. Meldrum at bat for me!

My Sons experience with this Surgeon is less than favorable. He has had 4 surgeries and is not doing well. Dr Meldrum had no idea of the severity of my sons infection from his hardware. Dont you get paid for that? Oh thats right my son doesn't have private insurance and is a recovering addict. So substandard treat ment is what he recieved Meldrum also stated to my son that he should consider himself lucky to go to a skilled nursing facility because he's a drug addict . He's been sober 2 yrs

I worked for Dr. Meldrum for six years. He is the most compassionate and kindhearted doctor I have ever worked for! He always took the time to listen to his patients concerns. He is definitely a special doctor and his patient's loved him. I wish he was still here in Indiana to do surgery on my husband or myself when we need it. He is definitely one of the top Orthopedic doctors in the country in my opinion!

After my patient visit with Dr Meldrum, he was to have a prescription called into my drug store plus call a physical therapy clinic to call me to schedule an appointment for physical therapy. Neither was done within a week. I wonder if I would not have called would it ever have happened. I had to call his office twice and twice leave a message. Is this normal operating procedure for this office?
