Best! Doctor I have ever had

Dr Melchiona great neurologist excellent treatment of patients good friend. Thanks for everything

When I was losing my neurology doctor Dr. Melchionna was just starting in that office and it was the best decision I ever made to go to him instead of one of the others. That was many years ago and I don't regret that choice. I have with him since.

The doctor is very detailed and very concerned

Dr. Melchionna Is a rare breed. He is the best Doctor we have encountered in years. Not only is he a great doctor, but he truly cares about his patients. We are very glad to have met him

Emilio is a great doctor always attentive and caring but the people who answer the phones are the worst they sigh while talking to you and basically act like you are bothering them when you call.it has been the same every time i needed to call there.honestly i dread speaking to them and you cant really say anything because im sure they will mess with your files or something.

Have had many neurologists. Doctor Melchionna is the best and the brightest.

Dr. Melchionna is always late, as much as 1.5 hours past, usually 40 minutes to 1 hour because he talks too much, takes out his laptop to discuss personal hobbies while patients are waiting- the schedule is always pushed back. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are patients of his, everyone says he’s wacky which can be great if you like eccentricity, but he has shown religious preachiness giving patients prayers for what he judges are their problems, prejudice that is misogynistic and racist or ignorant about minorities here (and Springfield is rife with blacks, Latinos, Vietnamese, etc.) deeming them like foreigners rather than Americans despite their level of education or or connection to their American national identity. He seems to be tone deaf with emotions if his prejudices are coupled with it because he is always convinced that his judgmental “intuitions” are correct. He had so much potential but screws up, and is actually quite ignorant- there’s a reason why he’s a neurologist and not a psychologist or psychiatrist! As a therapist, I recommend that people seeking psychiatric treatment may want to stay away from him or be very private and refuse his invasive questions. He’s seen suicidal patients and given them so much time and heart, but I am afraid he likely gave them this treatment to seek help through prayer, which is fine, if he didn’t judge the person as if he knew their entire situation. Over the years, people have noted he blames victims; particularly, without knowing anything, he blames sexual assault for naïveté. A patient of mine has mentioned he even blamed his wife for being felt up, and transferred this same logic to her, and remained oblivious to the fact that he was dampening the mood by bringing up negative things every time she entered the room. I used to appreciate him before I also started seeing this as well, and kept my relationship with him casual. He’s not the worst but the unprofessionality knocks down a lot of points. For a talented and mostly-sympathetic (though often misled) neurologist with so much potential, this is very disappointing. I’m surprised no one has ever commented on this and more, over the many years. I stopped seeing him a while back but the issues were consistent, and this review is about him rather than the odd, rude staff at the general office (not his personal assistant).

Amazing hes my mothers nuerolagist and also mine!!
