Dr. Yitzhak A. Melamed, MD

"My baby had his 1st appointment here and everything went well. They gave me my son’s 2 months appointment the same day. Today is my baby’s 2 months appointment. When I got here they gave me a questionnaire. One of the questions ask if I had taken a covid19 test. I informed them that I had 2 negative covid19 test results. I also let them know that in order for someone to be admitted at Kennestone hospital, everyone needed a covid19 test. They asked me to reschedule my appointment because they need the result. I drove 30 minutes from Dallas to get here. They could have told me about their new covid19 protocol before I got here. I wasn’t given an option to let my doctor’s office fax or email my result. And they didn’t ask if I had access to the result because I have access to my result on my patients portal. They asked me to reschedule as if my time is not valuable and I’m nothing. All the front desk staff members were extremely rude. Save yourself the hassle of not taking your child to this Dr’s office because they are unprofessional, disrespectful, and they don’t care about people."

"I have been taking my son to this office since he was born and 9 years ago the Dr was good he hasn't been great in awhile I feel like we are always diagnosed with the common cold or whatever is going around and sent on our way.I feel like the Dr always treated me like a overly concerned first time mom and often disregarded my concerns. Office staff has been horrible for the last five years but the Dr was good for referrals so we kept going for our wellness exams until Friday when I fired them because I made his appointment last month for Friday we get there I call them to ask about covid protocol and I'm told your son doesn't have a appointment today and we can't fit him in whoever made my son's appointment didn't put it in so we took time off work for no reason. Now I am looking for a new pediatrician because I will not go back."

"If i could give no stars i would! my child has been sick for two months when i took her to him he kept putting her on amoxicillin, i kept going to different emergency rooms and was told she developed asthma , took her to Scottish rite for allergy medicine and a better inhaler .. now here i am currently sitting at St Joseph Hospital where they tell me my child has RSV which is highly contagious && Pneumonia && they HIGHLY suggest i change doctors because he should have caught this BS !!! DO NOT TAKE YOUR KIDS TO HIM."

"No reflection of the doctor. The front office staff need to take a class on customer service. It is extremely rude to answer a phone call and IMMEDIATELY place the caller on hold without knowing if the call is urgent or not. You ask “can you hold please?”, wait for a response, then thank them for allowing you to place them on hold. How do you know the caller isn’t having some kind of medical emergency and called your office first? You don’t because you immediately put them on a 5 minute hold. Poor customer service. I would never bring my child here for this reason alone."
