"I loved my stay there, I had a beautiful room. I had one major complaint, but I fixed that Really, Really Quik! That was because I was ignored by the little red button to press to get a nurse, and so I walked to nurses desk, and got into a lil spat with a lady there, but I called Nurses superviser, and was taken care of rather quickly! Within 30 mins. After that, I was actually takedn care of by the Nurses superviser the next morning. Don't let the nurses there treat you like you are a number, you let them know who you are, and you pay to be treated like a queen if you want to be treated like a queen....:)"
"All I have to say is WOW! This Doctor has a remarkable way of sticking the straights to you. Dr. Melkonian goes over everything with you inside & out. And the moment I shook his hand I just knew this was the man that was going to be the one to change my life forever! I was impressed by the reviews off of the site to see him, and I will tell you what, All of the great reviews mentioned about Dr. Melkonian was no lie. He is wonderful! No baby pats or pity parties here, he tells you how it is, and the benefits of the surgery. And he was very strong & proud of his statistics, and I could tell he was planning on keeping it like that. Nita is such a sweetheart. She is soft spoken and so willing to do anything in her power to help you and will let you know to call her anytime a question pops up. She is so, so sweet. Always smiling with a look like you would get nowhere else! Makes you feel cared about while you are talking to her. However,
The little red haired girl at the front of the Matthews Office was snooty somewhat. She was the type to always try to correct everything you did. She was the kind that tried to call you out in front of people. I didn't like that a bit. But it did not discourage me at all. She is not the one I was there to see, I just smiled at her and took her on...:)
I was in his office for an hour. He will sit and talk with you until you are comfortable enough to say good bye. He will not end the consultation until all your questions are answered and I liked that too. When you make your appointment with him, they will send you a packet to fill out and a checklist to check off, as long as you have all the checklist complete they can send your information off to insurance. They were very pleased I had everything they needed. So that will definately help speed the process up. On average 1 to 10 he would be a 10 +. Good luck everyone who considers Dr. Melkonian. You would be making a very smart & wise choice! "
"Jennifer was very detailed about the pre-op diets and the post-ops, and she helped me get a better understanding of how some of the diets may make me feel. I am supposed to send her a weekly chart of my diets. So we will see from there. She wanted to make sure I understood the path I was about to take, and it meant alot to me that she seemed so concerned. I would refer her to another if asked. "
