"Dr. Melvin and his staff were absolutley wonderful. I really don't have any complaints about him or Vanderbilt Medical Center. From the time I stepped into the hospital on May 19th, until the time I left, I felt comfortable and at ease. These are some of the nicest people I have ever encountered in my life. They took real good care of me. Even though I experienced some major complications a few weeks after surgery, I don't blame them. My body was in such distress from all the years of abuse I put on it. When re-admitted for pnuemonia and infection, they once again took great care of me and my family. I would recommend Dr. Willie Melvin and Vanderbilt Medical Center to anyone who is considering having wls and lives in Tennessee or surrounding areas."
