Dr. Melman is a Fellowship-trained, Board-certified, and daVinci robot-certified Specialist offering patients the latest in cutting-edge surgical techniques together in combination with Enhanced Recovery Protocols (ERAS) and the benefits of Multi-modal peri-operative Pain Management. Her extensive experience in combining these strategies helps to reduce recovery time and hastens return to normal activity. Dr. Melman offers minimal-access surgery for adrenal masses, heller myotomy for achalasia, surgical treatment for severe reflux disease (GERD), and comprehensive care for surgical weight loss (Bariatrics).

New mesh materials are being developed at a stunningly rapid rate and the number of available choices will only increase with continuing expansion of technology. Dr. Melman’s ongoing expertise in the proper selection and use of biomaterials and her commitment to excellence in providing a tailored-approach for each patient is what makes her a leader in the field of Hernia Repair. The techniques she uses are directly learned from world-renowned Hernia experts and benefit the full range of patients from those seeking repair of first-time occurrences to those requiring a multi-disciplinary approach and comprehensive plan involving Abdominal Wall Reconstruction. Dr. Melman’s goal is to work closely with patients to help them achieve optimal outcomes while also minimizing risk(s) of postoperative complications, recurrence(s), and chronic pain.

Her motto is: “Better Faster through Technology and Technique.”

5.0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I feel great with no issues

This is my appreciation for Dr. Melman. I think she did an outstanding job. I had a hernia on one side 20 years ago, and after getting out of surgery that was performed by a different doctor, it hurt worse than when I went in for several weeks after. Recently, I had a hernia on the other side and Dr. Melman did the surgery and when I woke up I was not in any pain. I felt as though I never even had the surgery and now two months later, I feel great with no issues and it’s as if I never had surgery. She was recommended to me by a New Brunswick Police Officer and now I highly recommend her as well! Her office is quick and efficient, within minutes she greeted me and I was in and out with no wait. She did an excellent job, an A1+ for her professionalism and workmanship.
