Care Philosophy: Patients should never feel they have to choose between superior surgical skills and warm, compassionate care. As general surgeons, we have vast experience with both traditional open techniques and minimally invasive approaches. We're known for our expertise in hernia repair. We've performed thousands of procedures on the abdomen, intestines, esophagus, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, thyroid and parathyroid glands, skin and breasts.We are experts in the surgical treatment of all types of cancer, including colon cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, stomach cancer, gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. When cancer is diagnosed and a surgical procedure is done, we make sure patients are scheduled with the appropriate specialists, including medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.Because healing and recovery are typically faster and easier with a minimally invasive approach, our philosophy is always to use the least invasive approach possible that brings the best possible likelihood of a great outcome. We complete 98% of our surgeries laparoscopically, so patients experience less pain, less blood loss and a shorter hospital stay. Our surgeons pursue ongoing education to ensure they remain up to date on the latest techniques and technology.

Care Philosophy: Haroldo D Melo, MD, wanted to be a doctor for as long as he can remember. Watching his mother work as a critical care nurse as he was growing up likely influenced his decision to pursue medicine. He always felt like being a doctor was in him - as if it wasn't really a choice at all, but just something he was born to do. Dr Melo received his medical degree from Universidad de Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico, completed his residency at Metrowest Medical Center in Framingham, Massachusetts and is board certified in internal medicine. Today, he uses his skills to make sure patients in Port Orange, Florida, get comprehensive, high-quality care at every age and stage of life.
