What Our Patients Are Saying

“For 3 years I have hurt my lower back (usually in May/June). The first two times I went to the ER the pain was so bad. This last time I held out hope that I could push through the pain. Two days later and I was in tears. My prior doctor was booked for two weeks so I looked online to find one who was available right away, and that's when I found Dr. Melepura, truly by divine intervention. He was so kind and caring and listened to my story about my back history and asked questions that were relevant and not "generic." He spoke about healing me long term, not just for an immediate fix. I got injections for my pain and it did wonders; I could finally walk upright again and my back stopped spasming. He also gave me yoga stretches to do, which have been a huge help! My other doctor was focused on my stomach muscles, but Dr. Melepura said actually my back muscles need stretching and to be built up - a totally different, spot on approach. Just 2 days later I am feeling much better! show more”

“Hello! I don’t usually write reviews but Dr. Melepura patients care is wonderful. I went to their office for evaluation, and Dr Febin took all the time to review my previous MRI reports, listening to all my concerns and battles of so many symptoms i have been dealing with now for 3 years. He performed physical examination to evaluate pain and balance which many doctors don’t even bother to do and looks at you like you are loosing brain. He is very friendly and caring physician and as a patient with complications that are hard to diagnose, it is comforting when doctors do listen to patients concerns, for proper understanding of symptoms and of course makes one feel “ i am not crazy…” I definitely recommend Dr. Melepura and hope I will have good answers on my next appointment.thank you Dr.Melepura!All doctors should treat patients like you do!show more”

“Dr melapura has many options to alleviate lower back issues . The chiropractors I saw could not address the facet joint issues. Their spinal manipulations did not address my pains. Dr melapura has many options for quick and lasting pain relief. When I went to him I had tremendous pain in lower back. He diagnosed it as facet pain due to arthropathy which chiropractors never mentioned. They said it was herniated disc's never talked about the facet joints. Finally I understand why pain management is the answer for lower back facet nerve impingement. Dr melapura nerve block treatments together with physical therapy seems to be the answer to proper pain management . See him for your pain issues and you will get proper relief..do it sooner than later. Do not live with the pain !!show more”

“This is my first appointment with Dr. Melepura, and I was about 10 minutes late, yet I was seen right away! I was offered a Fiji water bottle, my vitals were taken, and Dr. M begun the appointment immediately afterwards. We sat down and reviewed my intake form, elaborating my condition via well-directed questions from Dr. M. We proceeded to do some exercises and a physical examination. Promptly afterwards, I was already offered a treatment that was administered during that same appointment! I’m now scheduled for imaging to better understand the underlying condition, and I can’t wait to be back in two weeks! Overall, excellent care from the whole facility, very prompt and efficient, and obviously wields great care for patients.show more”

“Dr. Melepura and his team were fantastic. They were professional, patient, communicative, and happy to provide all the information I needed regarding my treatment. He took the time to discuss my symptoms and explained the medical anatomy. He went over my options and took the time to listen to my concerns. Dr. Melepura was very gentle when performing the pain procedure and I didn't even feel a thing. Every interaction I have had with Dr. Melepura and his office including his receptionists, and nurses has always been top notch with no complaints at all. I book all my doctor's appointments through ZocDoc and this is the only one I felt compelled to review. Highly recommended!show more”

“Outstanding Experience! Although parking was a bit of a challenge, the staff was exceptionally helpful and kind from the moment I arrived. The office itself is beautifully decorated, and I was seen right away without any wait. I appreciated being offered water—especially a bottle of Fiji, which was a nice touch. My conversation with the provider was excellent. I felt truly heard and understood. The doctor offered thoughtful, professional advice and demonstrated a deep knowledge of my concerns. Most importantly, I genuinely felt that he cared about my current health and well-being. That level of care made all the difference. I would totally recommend!show more”

“I had to schedule a same-day appointment because I had extreme pain in my neck with very limited range of motion. Office was clean and inviting. Minimal wait time to see Dr. Melepura. He asked a series of questions and basic tests to infer what the problem might be. Then gave me injections in the neck area to relieve the pain, which did wonders. I could finally sleep and move without pain. Got a recap email of my visit, including the meds prescribed, helpful stretches i can do at home, and recs for PT. Next day, they sent me text to check in how i was feeling, which i really appreciated. Overall a very pleasant experience, would highly recommend.show more”

“What an absolutely perfect and seamless experience! Not only is Dr. MeIepura extremely knowledgeable and personable, he was able to treat my condition with innovative modalities that prior physicians never offered. I was most impressed with the transparency of the financial department of the office which easily answered every question I have. I feel truly blessed to have found this office and now have been able to return to all my busy life and sport activities without any issues at all. The perfect doctor and the perfect office for the busy on-the-go New Yorker! show more”

“This feels like what going to the doctor should be like in the 21st century. Immediately after the appointment I had an email with all of the next steps. The other providers they work with (capsule, XRay booking and physical therapy provider) were prompt in getting back to me. So much so that I am receiving my medication and have a PT session the day after my doctor appointment. All of this happened after 5pm. Dr. Melepura was also prompt, and holistic in his approach to my recovery (ie yoga and medicine). For me 10/10!!show more”
