    Dr. De Melo is, above all, an exceptional human being. Before being a doctor, he is someone who genuinely listens to his patients, no matter the situation. He is honest, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the well-being of those under his care. I have been his patient for many years, and I deeply appreciate the time and attention he has always given me. Unfortunately, the West New York office was closed, and he is now based in Bayonne. I truly hope he can be transferred to Edgewater someday. Thank you, Dr. De Melo, for your kindness and professionalism throughout these years.
