Alexander “Alex” Melamed, MD, is a gynecologic oncologist who provides surgical care and chemotherapy to patients with cancers of the female reproductive system such as ovarian, uterine, cervical, and vulvar cancers. His goal as a physician is to get to get to know every patient as a whole person. He wants to know about your family, your pets, your work, how you like to spend your time, what you are all about, and what matters to you so that you can work together to develop a treatment plan that is consistent with your goals and values. He is proud to practice at one of the world’s top hospitals, where he gets to be part of a large and dedicated team focused on delivering the state-of-the-art patient-centered cancer care.
In addition to caring for patients he is also a cancer researcher focused on understanding exactly what kind of cancer treatments work best for patients. Some of his research has influenced how gynecologic oncologists treat cervical and ovarian cancer and has been published in important medical journals, like the New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Dr. Melamed was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, and grew up in the US. He majored in chemical biology at the University of California at Berkeley and studied medicine and public health at the University of Southern California. He completed residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and a fellowship in gynecologic oncology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital.
When he is not working, he enjoys playing with his toddler son, preschooler daughter, and 6-year-old puppy. He enjoys cooking, playing guitar, and listening to live music.

I have been very pleased with the care by Dr Melamed. However I wasn't aware that it was my last visit with him until the following day when someone called for a follow up appointment with someone else because he would be no longer available for me because of load reduction in Dover.

I was extremely nervous to meet Dr. Melamed. I felt so much better once I met him. He was amazing. He explained what is going on and what is expected with my surgery and what could be expected after the surgery. He took the time to ask me questions and to answer my questions, as well as my daughter who was with me. I am very appreciative and I am appreciative that he is our doctor. I feel very grateful.
