I have been seeing Dr. Melamud for almost 7 years now. He has cared for me through 1 major retina tear in my right eye and a 2nd minor tear in my left eye (caught it very early). He is very thorough and concise, and he & his practice / staff are a fine tuned running machine. I highly recommend him and am always happy with his care for me.

Dr. Melamud is an excellent doctor. He knows his stuff. He is very personable, listens to his patients, and clearly answers all questions. I have complete confidence and faith in his handling of my medical care.

Dr. Melamud is simply superb in every respect. His professionalism, compassion, and courtesy are exemplary. He displayed sincere concern for my issues, listening patiently and providing exceptionally clear answers and explanations of my condition and treatment options. He showed me the imagery highlighting the areas that required attention. I never felt rushed or that he had other patients to see. The Clinic staff and nurses are cut of the same cloth. At this point I can't imagine going to another medical clinic for me treatment and feel both blessed and privileged to be a patient at The Retina Group of Washington.

Very professional ,and informal

Jan 27, 2024

Dr. Melamud is great. I can't say the same about my experience at the office, however. I arrived at 8:30 for my appointment at 8:45. At 9:45 I met with a technician who ran several tests and sent me to the next waiting room at 9:55. At 10:30 i was moved to the next exam room. At 10:55 Dr Melamud arrived. We talked for about 5 minutes and i then left the office. For 15 minutes with the technician and Doctor, I spent an additional 2 hours and 15 minutes waiting. I don't think that is acceptable. Do you?

Nov 7, 2023

My 31 Oct 2023 visit with Dr. Melamud was absolutely superb. From the front office to the initial screening by the technician to the meeting with Dr. Melamud, the entire process was incredibly efficient. As for Dr. Melamud himself, I find his approach to working with patients absolutely perfect. Bottom line is he really listens to what you have to say and provides excellent guidance in clear terms that are easy to understand. This is no small feat given the complexity of the eye and all of the potential issues involved with the eye. Dr. Melamud'S great treatment has kept me seeing well and my overall eye health is excellent thanks to him. I would not go anywhere else and if he's not available because of travel or a conference, I wait until he returns to have my appointment. In my opinion, he's a titan!

Oct 23, 2023
