    Great Service! I was in so much pain. I followed the doctor's advice and felt much better from day 1 after the first visit. I will definitely do my follow up.

    Dr. Malapura is fantastic. He listens to what you have to say and is very pragmatic and holistic in his approach to your recovery. He and his staff are all very friendly and personable. His staff goes the extra mile (calls, email, text, etc), making sure you have everything you need. He makes everything as convenient as possible for patients in the 21st century e.g., online booking, medications delivered to your door, email referrals, etc. Every medical experience should be like this.!

    I was seen promptly. The receptionist was very pleasant and was aware of my appointment. The office was clean and professional. I was given a clear diagnosis, recommendations, and recovery plan by the physician. All of the referrals were emailed to me, which was very convenient. I was contacted the next day with some results and to ensure I didn't have any issues with anything. I would definitely return to this practice in the future if needed.

    Dr. Melepura and his whole team are fantastic. They were able to get me in quickly and within 2 days, I am feeling so much better. He also gave me a long term treatment plan to help stretch and strengthen the muscles in my back. I highly recommend!

    Dr. Melepura was attentive and listened to my concerns. He immediately created a plan to take control of the pain. Great office environment and professional staff / front office follow up was also impressive.

  • 5/5 kimi z. 4 months ago on Google
    After experiencing so many slow, inefficient communications with medical practices, I particularly like Sports Injury & Pain Management Clinic's streamlined process. It makes it super easy to schedule an appointment and contact the staff. You can get your questions answered via texting! Dr. Melepura and receptionist Jazmin are both very friendly and easy to work with. They were taking the time to listen and evaluate my pain conditions. Dr. Melepura was able to provide clear next steps right away. Might come back and update how the end results go.

  • 5/5 Milena Rodriguez A. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr Melepura is absolutely wonderful. He was extremely gentle, patient, he listened carefully to every symptom I had. His physical examination covered every detail. I have been struggling with shoulder pain for a year and I prefer to avoid surgery. This is why I went to see Dr. Melepura in first place and he came up with several choices before any surgical intervention. I also like his approach to medicine in the sense that he thinks about the patient as a whole entity, we talked about nutrition and lifestyle. He is very genuine in his interaction and you can tell that besides his empathy he is very passionate about his work. I do strongly recommend him and I will continue my care with him. Thank you Dr. Melepura.

    Great experience with Dr. Melepura’s practice! Zero wait time, I was seen right away. Dr. Melepura was thorough in his evaluation taking my medical history into account in addition to current symptoms, and quickly determined a treatment plan for my neck pain. Both he and his associate were very personable and empathetic. The office is clean and modern. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Maryama K. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr Melepura and his team are absolutely amazing. I ended up at their office after many doctors had given up on me as they couldn’t figure out how to help with my debilitating knee pain. He is genuinely passionate about what he does and it shows on the level of care he provides. He always took time to listen to my concerns and provided great advices as well as several treatment options. I’m very grateful I found them.

  • 5/5 tanya g. 3 months ago on Google New
    Attentive doctor who took my physical pain seriously, examined me thoroughly, and patiently answered my questions. Great office environment and services. Have already recommended to a friend!

  • 5/5 YORK Y. 10 months ago on Google
    From the moment I walked into his office, I was greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who ensured a seamless and comfortable experience. Dr. Melepura himself exuded professionalism and a genuine passion for helping individuals with sports injuries. His wealth of knowledge and experience in the field were evident as he thoroughly assessed my condition and explained the diagnosis in a way that was easy to understand. What truly sets Dr. Melepura apart is his commitment to personalized care. He took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, addressing each one with patience and empathy. I never felt rushed during my appointments, as he genuinely cared about my well-being and wanted to ensure the best possible treatment plan for me.

  • 5/5 Guilherme N. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything was great, from the receptionist to Dr. Febin, I was well taken care of. The dr. examined my knee, gave me tips, medication, recovery exercises and recommended me a place with a great price to get a MRI if needed. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Alston L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very helpful and would recommend. Doctor Melepura is detail oriented and very patient. He listens to every detail and comes up with comprehensive sets of solutions and possible next steps.

  • 5/5 Margot K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and meticulously clean office. Very conveniently located. Reception was extremely friendly and doctor was knowledgeable and informative. Very quick appointment with no wait time. Great communication and follow up.

  • 5/5 Nnenna J. 2 years ago on Google
    My visit with Dr. Melepura was amazing. He was so kind, patient, and really took time to understand me. I stepped in with a lot of fear of the unknown and overall distress. He immediately cheered me up by lightening up the mood, and he talked me through every single thing he was doing. Something really stood out to me, which I found especially unique to my experience with Dr. Melepura: He approached my care from a wholistic perspective, taking care to understand other ailments I have outside of our current focus, and gave treatment/guidance keeping these aspects in mind. Best of all, he helped significantly alleviate my pain!

  • 5/5 D A. 2 years ago on Google
    Dr Melepura did a thorough assessment of my back pain and history. He actually takes the time to listen and ask questions, and evaluate my movement. He offered short term and long term solutions to manage the pain, especially given that I had to travel the next day. The office also is very clean and nice!

  • 5/5 HN S. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience with SPIN/ Dr. Melepura and his staff was really great! His approach to treating my neck and shoulder pain was very helpful in ultimately resolving the chronic pain I was having and I’m definitely feeling much better now than when I first started treatments in early February. The office is very comfortable and pleasant. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for pain treatment.

  • 5/5 Oceana L. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Melepura this week. I appreciate that he took the time to explain the breakdown of exactly where and why my pain was happening, and helped me to better understand an issue that I’ve never experienced before. He also provided multiple solutions to help with my issue, including a steroid injection which significantly reduced my pain level almost right away. The office space is clean and relaxing, and the front desk staff is kind, welcoming, and very communicative. I was able to get an appointment quickly and had no wait time when I got to my appointment. Thank you all again!

  • 5/5 Lila B. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience was outstanding ! Entire staff at the sports injury and pain management center are well trained, warm, knowledgeable and professional. From the staff to the doctor to the whole ambience of the waiting room and exam room, is well organized, calm, kind, and a uniquely warm environment. Most importantly I felt the doctor really listened carefully to my situation. He did so with great care and concern. I am busy equestrian and I have a unique set of complicated injuries. I was so glad to find someone who cared enough to listen and create a plan that is measured and achieve-able.

  • 5/5 Journey with J. 2 years ago on Google
    I am more than pleased with my visit. The office was very well put together, ascetically. The office staff was extremely pleasant and personable, as well as Dr. Melepura. His bedside manner was spot on and I was able to get tips for my pain that I could incorporate right away. I am happy I found this office and highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Yuko T. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Melepura is calm and thoughtful and attentively listened to my condition. I decided to have a cortisone injection because I trusted his skill. After 30 minutes, I could walk without pain. I tried his "Home Rehabilitation Regimen" and I feel it is helping my knee recovery. His staff is also nice and treated me with care. I had a great experience at Dr. Melepura's office and recommend him first for the doctor for sports injury and pain management.

  • 5/5 Arjun S. 2 years ago on Google
    My visit was incredibly easy. Was greeted by a staff member when I entered, offered a water and taken to my waiting room right away. Everyone in the office was professional and thoughtful. They listen and they actually care! Dr. Melepura was a consummate pro! We talked through my issues and I have already booked a follow up!

  • 5/5 Amrutha V. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jineet G. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an awesome experience so far with Dr. Melepura. He took the time to understand the history of my case and created an appropriate treatment plan for me. He also encouraged me to have a positive mindset as that helps with long term recovery.

  • 5/5 Stephen F. 1 year ago on Google
    My visit to Dr. Melepura’s office was a very positive experience. He and Jazmin we’re both very kind, professional, and helpful. The wait time was very short, the examination and treatment was thorough, and they followed up with me shortly after my appointment.

  • 5/5 Joaquin E. 1 year ago on Google
    I felt listened to and truly understood by Dr. Melepura. Started PT the very next day. They were very friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. Already recommended them to my friends who have or continue to play through pain.

  • 5/5 Shpresa E. 1 year ago on Google
    Hello! I don’t usually write reviews but Dr. Melepura patients care is wonderful. I went to their office for evaluation, and Dr Febin took all the time to review my previous MRI reports, listening to all my concerns and battles of so many symptoms i have been dealing with now for 3 years. He performed physical examination to evaluate pain and balance which many doctors don’t even bother to do and looks at you like you are loosing brain. He is very friendly and caring physician and as a patient with complications that are hard to diagnose, it is comforting when doctors do listen to patients concerns, for proper understanding of symptoms and of course makes one feel “ i am not crazy…” I definitely recommend Dr. Melepura and hope I will have good answers on my next appointment. Office : Greeted by receptionist, very clean office, and medical assistant very sweet and helpful. Bring some cocktails and enjoy the city lights from their 9th floor office 😄 Thank you Dr. Melepura and team!

  • 5/5 James S. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Melepura is very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. Clean and inviting office with a polite and attentive staff, and most importantly I had zero wait time, which is a first for me. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jon K. 1 year ago on Google
    I would trust Dr. Melepura and Jazmin with my care over and over. They have a relaxing office environment, are empathetic, quick, and informative. Their follow up is personal and had me feel cared for. I look forward to getting better in their care :)

  • 5/5 AnnaMaria S. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend Dr. Melepura and this practice! I went in for low back pain and knew instantly when i walked in i was in good hands. I was able to get a same day appointment and had zero wait time. Dr Melepura is very knowledgeable, attentive and answered all my questions. The office staff is also welcoming and helpful! They are very responsive through text and email which is a plus! Once i left my visit i immediately got an email with a complete exercise/yoga regimen to help my recovery as well. Once again, i highly recommend :)

  • 5/5 Adalgisa R. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent doctor and very professional environment. The staff is attentive and caring. I’m so glad I decided to go here, as I was in a lot of pain and needed a doctor that could help me with my neck problems. If you need orthopedic care, this is the place to go!

  • 5/5 Taylor K. 1 year ago on Google
    I came to see Dr. Melepura as a second opinion for neck and shoulder pain. He saw me super quickly. There was essentially no wait, the visit was thorough, and I left with action steps that made me feel heard and supported. I was a little caught off guard by being the only patient in the office, but I could have just been the last patient that day. Would recommend!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    I injured myself badly while working out and was able to get a very quick appointment with Dr Melepura. Dr. Melepura spent plenty of time with me to understand my injury, gave me some immediate care, and set me up for imaging which I was able to get very quickly. He was then able to immediately review my MRI images and called me immediately to report on my results. I was able to get a subsequent appointment (next day) for treatment and am on the road to recovery. On top of Dr Melepura, his office team is fantastic. They are extremely responsive through text and are great at follow up. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Justin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Dr. Melepura was great. He took the time to explain everything to me and answer all of my questions and helped me come up with a recovery plan for my back. I appreciated that he didn’t push me towards surgery or shots. The staff was also very courteous and flexible when I needed to adjust my appointment time.

  • 5/5 Eddy T. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Dr. Melepura was great to work with. He took the time to hear me out and answered all questions I had about my injury and treatment. I was able to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan in just two visits. I would absolutely recommend this office.

  • 5/5 Christina K. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I had to schedule a same-day appointment because I had extreme pain in my neck with very limited range of motion. Office was clean and inviting. Minimal wait time to see Dr. Melepura. He asked a series of questions and basic tests to infer what the problem might be. Then gave me injections in the neck area to relieve the pain, which did wonders. I could finally sleep and move without pain. Got a recap email of my visit, including the meds prescribed, helpful stretches i can do at home, and recs for PT. Next day, they sent me text to check in how i was feeling, which i really appreciated. Overall a very pleasant experience, would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Manasvini M. 1 month ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Dr. Melepura was kind, thorough, and took the time to look through my entire medical history and understand the problem I was facing before going into solution-mode, which I really appreciated. He also prescribed a wholistic approach, something that has been rare in my experience with doctors, and I loved that as well. I’d highly recommend him and his team!
