      Dr Melisko is one of the best doctors I have ever had. She has been my oncologist since 2011. I truly value her expertise, concern, and ability to explain complex subjects while listening to and understanding my needs as a recovering cancer patient. Cancer is scary and I feel lucky to have her as my doctor and advocate.
