Evan Melville, DO 2619 West Fairview Avenue, Boise, ID 83706

"RE: Dr. Melville and his assistant--I think her name was Amy. After a fall recently, I saw my Primary Care Physician who ordered x-rays and medication, as well as icing and resting the leg and knee. Since the pain level had not decreased, I called today to ask what else could be done and my PCP referred me to the St. Luke's Orthopedic Clinic. Intake data was taken by Amy (if I am remembering correctly), who was friendly, professional and asked pertinent questions. Dr. Melville reviewed my x-rays and all notes and did additional manipulations of my knee to pinpoint where I was experiencing most pain. He also referred me to a medical equipment shop and provided specific information on the brace he wants me to use. I am so grateful for the thorough follow-up examination and information I received from Dr. Melville, and highly recommend this clinic---great location, and all staff from those at the front desk to those attending patients were wonderful!!! Sincerely, Holly L. Eubanks"

"It seemed he’s only concerned was whether or not I broke a bone. There are a lot of other things going on in the knee other than a broken bone. He asked me if my liver was OK instead of checking my chart then told me to take 800 mg of ibuprofen and 1000 mg of Tylenol at the same time for pain. I am currently recovering from a cold (that is evident by my froggy voice, sniffles and cough) and therefore taking cold medicine that already has Tylenol in it, but he didn’t ask me if I was taking any other medication’s. Probably wouldn’t have been great to take my DayQuil on top of 1000 mg of Tylenol and 800 mg of ibuprofen. Working in the medical field, I know enough to understand that, but my girlfriend would’ve taken all of that medication and not known it was bad for her. Told me that there wasn’t enough damage in my knee and that I didn’t need to have knee replacement. I was able to follow up with my orthopedic surgeon the next day, due to a cancellation at his office, and was put on a prescription anti-inflammatory. I was also instructed on what medication I could not take while I was on this anti-inflammatory. Not everyone in pain is seeking opioids, our doctors need to be better about investigating a patient situation and not just treat them like an opiate seeker."

"Dr. Melville and his staff were excellent today! They were all extremely kind, professional, and made the procedure as easy and comfortable as possible. Overall a wonderful experience at St. Luke's Orthopedic Urgent Care on Americana Blvd in Boise! Thank You, Steve Semrau"

"Greeted by nice receptionist to take down information. Hardly waited when brought back to room by pleasant nurse who obtained more information. Then MD Melville came in almost immediately after the nurse was finished. Md Melville was great, easy to talk to and thorough with the exam. Very pleased with my overall experience. Thank you to all that took care of me."

"Dr. Melville was superb! Gave me time for my questions, and even called me back (close to my cocktail hour) to explain the X-ray! I found that quite extraordinary and professional."
