• I am very happy to be Dr. Meleger's patient and have recommended him to dozens of future patients. I originally called about five months ago and the receptionist first offered me an appointment for the following day. When wshe looked me up she said that I ama NEW patient because last saw him two years and a week ago.I STILL FOLLOW ALL HIS ADVICE AND AM HIS PATIENT. I asked if I could have a cancellation, and not wait 3 1/2 months to see him. I did not get one. I waited all those months and his address was on my GPS, but took me elsewhere when I called from opposite a cemetery. I pulled into a driveway, called his office, and was given a simple direction to get to him. As I pulled out of the driveway a woman got out of her car that was parked along the curb a woman came to my car and asked if I was lost. I told her I was and she offered to lead me to his office. We drove and drove again. We passed 55 and 99 Wells aVe. and kept driving never seeing 159 . We did that three times and I called the doctor. I NEVER expected to see a sign that MGH, and was ready to go back home after at least three hours. Someon else asked me if I am lost. It evidently happens to many people. He took me to the correct buiolding and a custodian escorted me to check-in.There were four windows and no one was at any. As I turned to leave I saw movement and a groggy lady in the closest window looked up and Itold her I had an appointment with Dr. MelegerShe said I am not on the list and he canot see another patient. I was so exhaustd that Isuggested a later date and would appreciate a cancellation when it comes available. No one ever called so Ikept the appointment for three weeks later. When I finally got to Dr. Meleger he was the same sweet and efficient physician., and was very apologetic. There has been a big change in his staff which is evidently out of his control.

• I have a mystery spine ailment and have been to the spine clinic before without any real findings to explain my condition. The Dr. absolutely listened, and frankly - that is the most important need when it comes to a condition that no one has been able to explain. I have tests and follow up in October so no follow-up per se. I am a huge fan of the Newton Wellesley Hospital/MGH network. The care is very good and I hope we get to the bottom of my back issues this time around. thank you.
