Dr. Robert Michael Melnikoff, MD

I underwent a treatment for warts with Dr Robert M Melnikoff for about a month. The office environment is very amicable and the doctor sounds friendly.



I discontinued the treatment as I felt application of Podophyllin did not lead to any improvement. It led to severe inflammation on the skin for a week each time after application but did not burn any wart. I called the doctor and also visited urgent care because of severe inflammation. What disappointed me was that the I was never told about the side effects and what to do if they occur. That shows how careless the doctor is? Treatment with Podophyllin is slow and I think it cost lot of time, money and pain. Application of Podophyllin on skin is classified as surgery and that was not informed to me at doctor's office. I have now read about alternative treatments such as laser that seems more effective. I think that the doctor chose the less effective treatment to get more money out of my insurance.
