  • I normally do not participate on yelp however my husband has urged me in order to help other families as this is a more sensitive issue where a lot of money is potentially involved. I am not on here to trash talk any doctors. Dr. Melmed himself did our sons eval and was really awesome. He interacts with the children and is very down to earth about his approach for the best possible treatment plan. Our son had been diagnosed with mild autism at the age of 3 but he was about 9 when we first took him to Melmed to discuss our growing concerns with his anxiety and ADD. After seeing Melmed, we were passed to one of his partners for in between checkups. After discussing my concerns and there were quite a few she staring at me with a glazed look basically told me to carry on with the same treatment. This got my back up as she obviously was not listening to me and seemed to be on auto pilot. I spoke up and suddenly she changed her whole approach including changing the medication. This made me worried that she was just trying to appease me. I did not rebook with her and emailed Dr. Melmed about my concerns. He called me back in a timely manner. I now changed my in between doctor. She listened and gave good advice for my son's meds which have been a good fit for him. However, she was constantly trying to upsell me on other people that cost over $200 dollars at the practice out of pocket for various other things including handing me a sheet with book tittles on them that I could purchase there. This doesn't sound awful until when I brought up that we weren't able to see the ABA person there that she wanted me book in to see, and then the following appointment she said "oh forget about that, go see this other person now for this other issue." I am now doubting her advice the first go around. I will say that we are fortunate in that our insurance is accepted here and we don't have to pay out of pocket. What I want to gain from this yelp thing is to make families aware of the issues we have experienced but also if you are in the beginning stage of getting a diagnosis it is definitely worth that! When I look at what we would have to pay for a regular check up appointment without insurance $340, that I feel would not be worth it and it makes me sick to think there might be families paying that. If you do go to this place make sure you ask around for referrals to a specific person. We are all in this together yet we all have to deal with it separately. Best to you all:)
