What Dr. Melikian's Patients Are Saying

“The first time I met with Dr. Melikian, I was impressed with his willingness to listen, answer questions, and not rush through the appointment. I had been in pain for several months and thought it was because of my Fibromyalgia. An MRI revealed severe spinal canal stenosis. I liked the idea of the less invasive procedure Dr. Melikian recommended. Immediately after the surgery, my pain was gone and has not returned since” -

“After 3 failed back surgeries, severe weakness and numbness developed in both legs and the nerve pain was unbearable. I sent Dr. Melikian my MRI and information. He personally called me the next day and my anterior lumbar interbody fusion was performed a week later. Surgery was successful and I have no more pain and my legs are stronger. I have never known such a caring and professional surgeon.”
