Smoother procedure than anticipated!

Dr. Melnick and office staff were very friendly and informative. They were also sensitive to the fact that not everyone likes getting procedures done in their mouth!

Great experience

Had a gum graft performed by Dr. Melnick. The recovery was quick and relatively painless after the first day. Dee, his hygienist, is very friendly and helped made the surgery more comfortable.

Ultimate professional. A perfectionist.

Exceptional provider of Dental Health and a bonus is a youthful smile. I have been a patient of Dr. Melnick for almost ten(10) years. When I first came to the office my gums were suffering from severe neglect necessitating six (6) implants including bone grafts, and sinus lifts. Dr. Melnick and a colleague did the extractions and the implants in one surgery. Perhaps not unusual is not to experience pain during surgery because of local anesthesia but totally amazing was too experience virtually no pain once the anesthesia wore off. The alacrity of the healing was awesome. The follow up care demonstrated Dr. Melnick and his teams' continued serious investment in their practice and this patient surely benefited from their investment and professionalism.
Dr. Melnick's staff Kim the woman who organizes the structure of the office; and Dee who is Dr. Melnick's assistant are are an essential part of the overall positive experience in the office. Dee always ensures that any questions or concerns one may have is communicated to Dr. Melnick who then takes the time to clarify any areas of concern.
If you are not serious about dental health then Dr. Melnick is not for you. You must be a earnest partner in your care. Amongst this seriousness is an abundance of warmth, humor and reassurance from all in the office. Dee, Dr. Melnick's assistant could do stand up comedy- Dr. Melnick not so much. What's important to me is that through the efforts of Dr. Melnick my smile is my best feature.

A very caring and professional office

I have been seeing Dr. Melnick for 20 years for all periodontal issues, and even prefer having his staff do my routine cleanings!

Excellent service provider - highly recommend!

I was referred by my dentist for advanced periodontal issues. Dr. Melnick was knowledgeable and gave me several treatment options, and his staff was courteous and supportive. Dee was beyond - we heart her. :)
