“Dr. Melo is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and best of all, RELIABLE! I appreciate that he only sees one patient in his office at one time and he gives his full, undivided attention to his patient. Dr. Melo was recommended to me by a friend, after my previous doctor had closed her practice. I was extremely nervous about running out of medication. When I called the Solstice office, I was able to get an appt with Dr. Melo quickly and was assured that I would NOT run out of medication. It was so nice to feel supported in that moment, especially as a brand new patient. It’s been a few years now and I am stabile on a very convenient maintenance schedule, thanks to Dr. Melo!”
