Fairfield Chamber of Commerce

"I was referred to Dr. Melendez from my orthopedic surgeon with an open wound on my leg. I drove 40 minutes multiple times, to get to his closest office and it was worth every mile. Dr Melendez discussed every option for my healing process and truly listened to all my questions and concerns. He respected my decision for which option I wanted and immediately started the healing process. I'm extremely pleased with the end result and how I was treated by him and his entire staff.”
