Seymour J Melnik, MD

My previous OBG was terrible, found out I was expecting and the soonest I could see my original Dr was 2 months away. Heard about Dr. Melnik from my cousin who had him as her Dr and decided to give it a try. My baby will be due in Feb 2016 and so far I love this practice, the front desk is very helpful and I don’t have any complaints about this place. Will be keeping Dr. Marc as my main Dr from now on. Even the nurse practitioner is great!

Great front desk professionalism, friendly staff. My experience with MD OBGYN Seymour Melnik was comfortable and professional. He addressed my concerns and problems and had options for solutions. In the encounters I have had with this medical office and Doctors I would highly recommend them.

I love both dr. melniks! I had my daughter with them almost 7 years ago and even though I am no longer in the area, I make the drive to their office so they can deliver my second. I don’t think I would feel comfortable with anyone else. And as far as all the bad reviews on the staff I’m not sure if they have gotten new ones or not but they are all very friendly. They let me know as soon as I get there if the doctors are in delivery and won’t be on time and try to accommodate based on how long it might be. Being a doctor that delivers babies of course their schedule isn’t always going to be on time. That is not the staffs fault. It also says in the office that children are not allowed due to keeping all their pregnant patients healthy. Once again don’t get mad at the staff for something that is not their fault.

He is a good doctor, very professional, friendly, really takes time listen to you and your concerns. When he delivery my baby, he is quick and confidence. I know I’m in good hand. So lucky to find a doctor that caring and pleasant. I now have moved too far away, and need to try a near-​by doctor, I’m nervous. Wish me find someone like him.

Dr. Melnik you are the best! We need more doctor’s like you around. I previously seen another OBGYN in the same medical office and did not get explained anything to me like Dr. Melnik did. He is so sweet, compassionate and caring. He wants you to walk to happy and knowing what exactly your appt was about
Thank you Dr. Melnik & your Staff you are my new OBGYN.

Dr. Melnik, you are amazing! We need more doctors like him around. So compassionate and caring. Not to mention, amazing at his profession. If you’re looking for a OBGYN, then look no further.

Dr. Melnick is a fabulous doctor. Both me and my daughter have seen him for 15 years. He is caring and sincere and truly looks out for his patients. I recently had surgery with him and he was my support system the whole way through. His office staff is also great, especially Francis!

Dr. Melnik is a caring doctor. He is a staple of the whittier community. I can say that as a patient and a practicing nurse. Thanks for all you do.

Dr. Melnik delivered me! Born in ’84. I don’t remember a lot. My mom says he was a great OB. Delivered both of her children. Very kind and energetic!

Melnik and Seymour are amazing and attentive. I have never felt this safe with a dr. Unfortunately before you see them you have to go through the trolls who refer to themselves as nurses. They are beyond rude. First they book me for an appointment and obviously its a month away. I arrive to my appointment and the troll tells me she doesn’t have me on their list. And I have to wait for the Dr to see what they can do. Really? How. about you add me to the list that I was supposed to be on. And since I’m a little more patient I ask if I can see the doctor any day this week or following because it’s an emergency for me. Of course not I get offered an appointment which is a month away from now. Haha seriously the nerve… because it’s my fault that you guys are very incompetent.

If you have Dr. Seymour Melnik KEEP HIM, i made a huge mistake and went to another OB because she was closer… i felt like i was in a pap smear factory! I actually cried because i missed Dr. Melniks bedside manner and the simple fact that he gives a darn about his patients! Don’t leave, stay! And guess what, i felt a million times more violated by a female doctor. I was always totally and completely at ease with Dr. Melnik!!!

Dr. S Melnik is a doll. He is very kind and has a nice grandpa vibe to him. He listens to your questions and concerns and is very knowledgable.
I’m very glad that I went with him and his son as my OBGYN. The best that Whittier has to offer although I do agree the wait time could be a bit long, but I’ve waited longer elsewhere.
The office assistants do chit chat a lot and one of them did not want to tell me my lab results (which is weird because it’s my information and I have the right to my files.) I’m still going to give them 5 stars because I adore the Melniks!

DR. MELNIK AND HIS SON, ARE AMAZING DOCTORS.
The reason I am giving one star, is because the staff here is absolutely rude. I had to change offices because I couldn’t handle the rudeness and unprofessionalism.
I went with my 4 week old baby when it was very hot, about 85. My appointment was right after their lunchtime (1^st appointment) and Neither Mr. Melnik or his son were in the office, I was to see a nurse practitioner. I was a maybe 5 minutes early so I thought it’d be okay if I went into the nice air conditioned office so my baby wouldn’t overheat. When I walk in, the nurses were watching a movie and looked at me and checked her phone and rudely said «Were at Lunch, come back in 3 minutes.» KNOWING IT WAS HOT, KNOWING I HAD AN INFANT IN A CARSEAT. I was baffled. I told them that my baby was sweating but no reply from anyone.
One nurse came running after me as I went to leave and never come back, and said «Oh, we just had to make sure we changed the channel first, you can come in.» What exactly were they watching?
They have many other offices and I advise anyone to drive further than deal with all the ex-​cholas that work here.
Again, I ADORE both Dr. Melnik and his son. They were both equally amazing doctors throughout my whole pregnancy and highly recommend them to everyone who love a friendly, sensitive, and thorough doctor.

Marc and Seymour are great doctors and very personable, but I don’t trust their office staff. I received bad glucose test results a week before Christmas and they never contacted me, leaving me to believe I was fine (it’s standard to be contacted when you get bad results). I didn’t even have another appointment for 3 weeks, so you’d think they would have let me know right away so I could have been cautious– especially during the holidays. When I switched to a midwife and birthing center nearby, they taught me how to monitor that myself and they found my previous poor results which was on file but again I was never contacted. It turns out I had gestational diabetes, which I would have loved to have known as soon as possible. That really put us in a bad position. If you go with them, be sure to call to get your test results and don’t trust them to contact you.
Also, twice in a row, the doctors were stuck in delivery and I wasn’t notified until well into my appointment while I was waiting in the lobby to be seen. I would have appreciated more communication and the option to reschedule or come in later before getting to the office. They made me feel like I was inconveniencing them for not wanting to wait the potential 2 hours the second time (I waited 2.5 hours the first time that happened and didn’t want to go through it again) The doctors and physician’s assistant have been kind and easy to talk to, but the office or whoever is in charge of communicating with patients needs help. It wasn’t worth it for me to stay.
I saw other medium reviews on this office when making my first appointment with the office, but since they were recommended by friends I decided to give them a shot. Looking at Unilocal now, I only see a few 5 star reviews. What happened with the other ones?

I been seeing both Dr. Seymour Melnik and Marc Melnik for my first pregnancy. They are both very patient and kind to answer all of my questions. They will not very polite and won’t rush you out the room like other doctors. Staffs are nice, they delivered the msg to doctor fast and call me back right away. They are both great doctors!

do not go here! they do not allow children to be in their waiting room! they want you to take your child out to the lobby by the service elevators and sit in some chairs they have out there… and wait to be called! (like a leper) they do not allow them in the waiting room at all, but you can take them in the room when you are being seen! ??? won’t the child pass by the pregnant women or may even be near one. i guess pregnant women can get some serious illness by sharing a waiting room with children! a pregnant women should not be exposed or near children because they might harm the unborn child is what i was told. hmmm??? what?! that was news to me. i have never ever been told that my child could not be with me in a waiting room or near a pregnant women before. don’t pregnant women walk out of their homes? there are children everywhere! (malls, restaurants, beach, pharmacy, etc.) they are going to have one for crying out loud! i have never heard of this policy and believe it is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard! women have children in hospitals! that is where the most dangerous diseases are! i even offered to have my daughters vaccine sheet be faxed to there office, but they refused! why? if they are so concerned that my daughter has had all her shots so that she doesn’t affect others then why refuse to see her vaccination form?! i will never go there and i hope anyone who has or plans to have children find this seriously offensive and discriminatory. i took a stand against this policy and hope others do the same.

Dr. Seymour Melnik is a WONDERFUL Dr., he is very kind, polite & loves what he does. He delievered my 1^st son & will be delevering my 2^nd soon. His office staff is very helpful & friendly. It’s Very simple he’s a GREAT Dr. & I would reccomend anyone of my friends & family members to his office for women’s annual exam or for O. B care. :-)
