About Hooman M. Melamed

Board-certified orthopaedic spine surgeon Dr. Hooman M. Melamed has been named to the Super Doctor’s list 7 years in a row. In addition to his surgical skills, the L.A. resident has become the “go-to” expert on programs such as Dr. Oz, The Doctors, Fox News and local T.V. Dr. Melamed specializes in minimally invasive microscopic spinal and scoliosis surgery and is on the vanguard of cutting-edge treatments involving nonsurgical cell therapy with PRP and bone marrow, artificial disc replacement, alternative treatment options for traditional fusion surgeries by avoiding fusion and more. He has also developed a unique approach to treating patients without narcotics, and most surgeries are performed on an out-patient basis. He is also a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and a member of the Scoliosis Research Society. He is the lead author on multiple published peer-reviewed papers. He has presented his research before the North American Spine Society, Congress for Neurological Surgeons, Scoliosis Research Society, Cervical Spine Research Society and International Meeting on Advanced Spine Techniques.
