    Yes, I saw Dr. Melnitchouk several times. I also had surgery with her. She is wonderful. She listens to you. She's informative. For my case, she just knew everything about it. It made me feel so confident. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She is such an asset to Brigham and Women's. And hopefully I don't have to see her again because it's surgery, but if I needed to go back and need a surgeon at Brigham, I would definitely see her again. She's wonderful.

    The doctors took their time to study my case, listened to my concerns, and found solutions. The response was immediate, and they scheduled me for tests quickly!

    Kind of cold. Was annoyed when my husband asked her to call another doctor instead of emailing.

    Dr. Melnichoux explains everything clearly and has always been interested in hearing from me. She is always pleasant to talk with. I am very grateful for her knowledge and effective follow up with something that was found during a previous surgery.

    All of your staff were absolutely amazing. From greeting me at the front desk, getting wrapped in a warm blanket and getting me into a bed as soon as possible. Starting treatment as soon as possible and that also includes a briefing for my wife and family. The cleaning staff works very hard all day/night keeping the building clean and have even stopped what they were doing assisting patients including me. Little things like picking up and moving my tray to a safe spot or just helping me stand up and a smile mean a lot to a person struggling to function. Between the two buildings (DF/B+W) you cannot find a better crew of Nurses who work well together seamlessly handing off care between staffs when needed. I have watched them stop what they were doing to explain what they were doing, explain the process then once they are sure the patient understands it, continue on with the process. You can honestly see in their faces the love and care for their patients sometimes hidden beneath a thin vinier face mask called, professionalism. I know firsthand because I've been behind those masks. The Doctors, P/As, Admitting Room Doctors and Surgical Staff are of the same fine hi quality as the Nursing Staff.

    I was in for a surgery consult, so all was great. The provider did say that I would hear about making the surgery appointment the next day, but it has been about a week and I have not yet heard, so just anxious about that. Otherwise everything was great!

    I feel extremely fortunate to have had Dr. Melnitchouk as my diagnostician, surgeon and primary provider for all follow-up care. Not only is she brilliant and skilled but she is also very caring, kind and interested in my well-being. I hold her and the organization in the highest esteem.

    She has been my doctor for four years now. I feel I have gotten the absolute best care I could have received. I am currently cancer free and believe because of her doing surgery and the follow up care, I will remain that way.

    Dr. Melnitchouk performed surgery a year ago and I had the best post-operative experience ever. I recovered quickly and was able to resume my normal daily activities and exercise faster than I expected. I also was able to go home immediately after surgery even though home was 160 miles away. I appreciate and thank Dr. Melnitchouk for her kindness . On this visit, Dr. Melnitchouk assured me the surgery was a success and she was pleased with the results. She is the best.

    Dr. Melnitchouk was my surgeon. And every time that I go to see her, she is absolutely brilliant. That woman does not get enough credit. She did a surgery on me and most likely saved my life for what I can find right now. So either or, she's just been excellent. She's been very attentive. She was super sweet. She always tells me what, you know, She gives me exams and makes sure everything's okay and she just makes me feel at ease at all times. She has that way about her. She's very warm and I love her to bits. She's great. I am so happy that she is the one that's been taking care of me. I couldn't ask for a better surgeon. She's amazing.

    We are so appreciative of the care we are receiving from Dr. Nelya Melnitchouk! She is an incredible surgeon and clinician. Not only is she at the top of her field in professional experience and expertise, but she has put together an entire team for my care with whom she consults as well. Moreover, she explains things so clearly, and is a caring physician and person. I know I can contact her with any questions or concerns, and hear back quickly. We cannot say enough about Nelya. She is simply extraordinary!
