    I haven't had a doctor like him in forever. Dr. Demelo cares about his patients, at least, he shows he care for me and my concerns.

    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.
