Dr. Jeremy Seth Melker

At 17 I was admitted to the hospital and they they released me just so I could see this man. I couldn’t walk at the time and my Father carried me into the office with my Mother there as well. Jeremy Melker then came in smug as could be, didn’t sit down, and told us that he called me in just to refuse care. He said he was friends with my former pediatrician who couldn’t find anything wrong with me (I have POTS.) I said “I’ve been in the hospital for days and can’t walk and you still called me in?” He said something along the lines of “Yep,” and walked out. Instead of calling to say he didn’t want to see me as a patient, he had me (as a child who’d already been through severe medical trauma and was dangerously ill) come from a hospital so he could humiliate and be cruel to me. My parents sat in shock and I believe I sobbed in the car. I’m 25, and this man’s cruelty is something I’ll never forget. Having now been chronically ill for 8 years I’ve seen a lot of doctors in Gainesville and have many who I love. Jeremy Melker is one of the most heartless human beings I’ve ever encountered.

At 17 I could not walk more than a few steps. This man made a point of having me come from a hospital, just to humiliate me in person about how he didn’t think anything was wrong with me and was refusing care. He was out the door in 30 seconds. I have POTS. Diagnosed by the Mayo Clinic. I’m 25, and the cruelty with which this man spoke to me is something I will never forget. Having now been chronically ill for 8 years, I’ve seen a lot of doctors in Gainesville and have many who I love. Jeremy Melker is one of the most heartless human beings I’ve ever encountered.

Dr Melker is an Excellent ENT ! He has taken care of my ear health for many years now. Helping me with ear wax buildup, a hole in my eardrum and intermittent ear infections. When he tells you No q-tips and mineral oil you must listen. It really does work . Plus his staff is always super pleasant and accommodating for your health needs. I highly recommend Dr Melker.

Very happy with Doc Melker. I dont like going to doctors because usually I end up with more questions than answers and in the end I still think I'm going to die however this experience was different. I waited until two visits before I wrote this and second visits was even better than first. All questions answered, he was detailed, looked at everything and was even a nice person. Staff was great also. Finally...thank you Very happy with Doc Melker.

The whole office is so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Melker has great bedside manners and great with kids. From the moment he walked in the room he was talking to my little one and establishing repoire with her. We have been on a long journey of throat and nose sickness along with multiple ear infections, he got straight to the point on the issue, while listening to all of our concerns. Spent a lot of time in the room each time we've been and explains everything with great detail. Wonderful bedside manners and very accommodating with squirmy children. We drive an hour and a half because this place is The Best!!!! The whole office is so friendly and welcoming. Dr. Melker has great bedside manners and great with kids.

Very disappointed. Didn't even offer to take BP even after I told him it has been very high. Did not like it when i asked questions. Had no idea how to help me with my problem.

We love Dr. Melker. My daughter had horrible ear problems and was constantly sick and he was the only one that could help her. He is the best!

Terrific experience. Professional and upbeat. Very analytical. Great sense of humor. Got right to the point and took care of the issues that I had. Pberne

I found him to be arrogant, condescending, and insulting. I was charged full fee for a partial procedure. The reason for the visit was never diagnosed and treated. I'm about 225 lbs 5'7" and he was obsessed with my weight. He told me I don't look like I drink a gallon of water a day. I'm still trying to find out what a person that drinks a gallon a day looks like. I don't like him.

Sometimes I wonder if some of these people who have left questionable reviews have actually seen the same Dr. Melker I have. He has never dealt with auditory problems because he has had an audiologist. I know because my mother was a part of his practice and that is who she saw. Dr. Melker has always been a very caring, no bullsh*t doctor who would tell you what you needed and not have you waste money on other solutions that don't and won't work. I have been a patient who has had a main sinus surgery that included a deviated septum correction and 2 revision surgeries for sinus polyps. He won't just prescribe meds over the phone. I know when I have a sinus infection but he has to see it and diagnosis it before he will just hand out meds like candy. I haven't had to see him for awhile, but I really should for a nasal check up. I trust him with my life. My mother trusted him with hers and I trusted him with my daughter's she had her tonsils removed.

Dr. Melker and his staff are truly a class act. Throughout my years as a patient, they have always been attentive, courteous, and highly professional. Dr. Melker is a warm and caring physician, reflecting the best traditions of how medicine should be practiced.

First appointment I arrive early and wait 45 minutes in the waiting room before being seen. Third appointment I give a courtesy call advising I’ll be a few minutes late due to a crash causing traffic delays. Refused to see me. Need I say more?

I have been with Dr. Melker forever. He has also removed my daughter's tonsils and mother's neck growth. He is a straight shooter and my family has a great relationship with him and trust him completely.I have a problem with nasal polyps and have had surgery and a few revision surgeries for it. I also had a deviated septum which he fixed the first time. I have always found his staff to be friendly, courteous & helpful. I can usually get in to see him within a day and the wait is minimal. Emergencies happen and I know people are mad they have to wait, but if they are late for their appointment they have to reschedule. Aren't all doctors' offices like that? I've been to quite a few.

My mom Doris Hampton went to Dr. Melker 2005, she had thyroid cancer in her eighties, Dr. Melker operated on her, and she is still living, she is 96 years never had any problems with her throat. I understand her picture is still hanging up in his office, he was great to my mom, and we never had to wait a long time for a visit in his office, he was very kind to us.

This "Doctor" knew my daughter was only being released from the hospital to see him. She was carried in by my husband. We waited in the waiting room and then his office for him to come in to tell us he was refusing care. He could have called to tell us that. Instead he had us carry in our critically ill child just to humiliate us with his pompous self righteous attitude. He should lose his license.

Dr Melker appears to have good diagnostic tools in determining the root cause of a problem, but his interpersonal skills are lacking. Having worked in healthcare for decades, he's one of those automaton type physicians who values his timetable and standard methods and presentations over questions from his patient. He's way too eager to get me into a hearing aid, when my pocketbook is not ready for all he prescribes.

The front office staff was welcoming and professional, however the new patient agreement leaves something to be desired. New patients are required to sign an arbitration agreement that explicitly states the patient waives their constitutional right to use the courts for redress of injury and have justice administered without sale, denial or delay. They request extensive credit card information to bill you and force patients to request privacy policies. Trust does not appear high at this practice

I have just had my yearly review following an operation performed by Dr. Melker. Still the same efficient service getting me in to the office, for an on time appt. with minimum wait. Dr. Melker clearly and concisely went through everything with me, during our conversation he was recalling events from the previous visit a year ago, certainly makes a good impression with this patient. Very pleased and confident I have him looking after me.

I would not recommend him to anyone. My first unremarkable office visit was $1000, which was $500 above insurance allowable and thus had to be paid by me. He was pleasant enough, but in no way did the visit warrant that price tag.

Dr. Melker is the best ear doctor I have ever had. I trust him completely because he always take the time to insure a painless visit. He always explains everything so that I understand it. I have been seeing him for several years. I was living in Newberry when I first had him treat me and then I moved to Citrus Springs, but I still travel to his Gainesville office every six months to have my ears checked and cleaned.

Dr. Melker starts out great. But he doesn't seem to like it if you have specific questions. He tends to get testy. Especially when he can't help with your problem and you're wondering why you went to him and spent all that money.

BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE IF YOU WANT A DOCTOR THAT CARES ONE WAY OR ANOTHER ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON AND INDIVIDUAL AND NOT JUST A PAY CHECK.

I have been doing the rounds of specialists for some time and had come to the point that an ENT was the next one to see. I was urged by my daughter (also a doctor) to make arrangements to see Dr. Melker. From my intial call to make the appointment, I was dealt with in a very professional way; then after arriving for my first visit I was a little taken aback to have seen on time with little waittime. I was given a comprehensive exam by both the nursing and audiology staff. Dr. Melker then explained the results in very clear and concise manner. I ended up having surgery. The whole process leading up to, during and after was handled excellently, from my appointments being made to even the reminders. I even have a portal that both my daughter and I can log in to and check on what is going on and clarify times. I was not asked to do this testimonial, I think Dr. Melker and his staff have earned it by just being good at what they do and it has allowed me to show them how much I appreciate them. I also happily supply my name. Keith Potter I have been doing the rounds of specialists for some time and had come to the point that an ENT was the next one to see.

This doctor is obviously qualified but appears to be stuck in the medicare program and demands. He wants to have abrupt answers-no diversions. In short -there is little interest beyond the FACTS as asked.and recorded. I need expertise so I will sacrifice personality and communication.
