Dr. Melanie Hope Rosenblatt, MD

I will start by saying that I have been in healthcare for 40 years. As a Provider/Doctor I have seen and treated thousands of patients in pain. I have never seen such little compassion by a Pain Management team in my life. My 91 year old Father (who was otherwise healthy) fell when getting out of his car and broke his vertebrae. He is in a lot of pain. Because of the new Florida laws, only pain management can write for extended pain meds. When his Medicare co-pay went from $20 to $400 per month, he needed to be changed to something less expensive. He was placed on Ultram/Tramadol twice daily. This is a worthless medication. Most of us in healthcare know it. It doesn’t work. After a month of trying and being in constant pain, he reported it to Dr. Rosenblatt. What did she do? She put him on the same medication 3 times a day. After 2 weeks, he called the office and told the staff that Ultram is Still Not Working. Their response, “This is what the Doctor wants you to take”. Then they hung up on him. I understand that with the new Narcotic Laws, Pain Management offices are very busy. But what happened to the compassion patients in chronic pain need. My Father is not drug dependent, he is in Pain! Why does he need to spend his remaining years home bound and in misery? If you need compassion and help with your pain, don’t go to Dr. Rosenblatt or her Nurse Practitioner. Your pain will only be aggravated.

RUN WHEN YOU SEE HER COMING.ORDERED Suboxone for my severe pain.I suffered,sadistic witch

Informative, successful pain relief

She is very caring and wonderful doctor

After 6 visits over 2 months, I can honestly say that they are only interested in extracting your money from you. No interest in providing ANY pain relief for their patients.

I was extremely nervous about my scheduled epidural. I had never had one before and didn’t know what to expect. Dr Rosenblatt and Susan could not have been more patient and compassionate with me. I would highly recommend Dr Rosenblatt. Oh, and the epidural barely hurt.

Gives you 3 minutes of gibberish without explanations. Doesn't explain your condition and jumps all over the place on alternative methods. Staff is more than rude. You can drop dead from pain. They are heartless.

The medical assistant that came to do my vitals was very unprofessional. She came in and spoke with such an attitude. As such took my blood pressure she smacked loudly on her gum. I've never had that happen before. When I saw the doctor she immediately treated me like I was a drug seeker. She told me that I needed to detox from pain pills even though I told her that I don't take pills all the time because they make me feel high. She proceeded to tell me that pain pills don't make you high after a certain period of time. If I'm telling you that they still make me high, why would you not believe it?? I will never return to her office. Oh....the place was not too clean!

If you are set for a procedure but it did not happen the courtesy way of being handled is by doctor giving her time to the patient and explain, not be nasty, rude, closed door on the patient and not nice at all. I thought all doctors were to have compassion, understanding of their patients needs and pain, but obviously this day she was really having a horrible day and took it out on this patient. I was not happy in pain left office crying and disgusted with her actions towards me. I work with physicians also and they have great bedside manners with all their patients even if the patient is not nice, it is called ethical.

You probably don't know how your staff is treating new patients. I was referred by Dr. Jane Rudolph who is absolutely wonderful. My original appointment was for 12:45, I was called at 8am and was asked to come in at 9:30. I did come in and then waited for an hour and a half in your waiting room. I found out it was going to be at least another half hour maybe more while I waited in an examination room.When I asked for a refund of my copay and explained why I was leaving I was confronted by the very rude receptionist. I came here because I'm in pain. What a horrible way to treat a new patient.

I haven't had problems with the doctor yet. I don't understand having the patient get the referral. My other specialists makes those calls, but with this doctor I have to. It's kind of a pain. I don't like having a "nothing" appointment; going, chatting with her ARNP then leaving. If I'm coming to you I need to get something done. Gimme the shot so I can go. She's nice enough though but I know the one nurse people are complaining about. She seems to be a "non-people" person, but she's never been rude, just stand-offish.

Dr. Rosenblatt is a renowned leader, educator, and clinician in the field of pain management. She is a consummate professional with unparalleled knowledge of her field.

I saw the negative reviews posted on this site. I was referred to Dr. Rosenblatt by my primary care doctor. I had been having pain and was over medicated by my previous pain management physician. The following was my experience. The staff was friendly and professional and immediately had my paperwork and appointment set for 3 days later. I showed up at at the office and was greeted by the nicest receptionist and medical assistants. The doctor met with me with her nurse and went over my entire history. A plan was discussed and I immediately had another appointment set for my injection. Now 2 months later I am pain free and no longer require any medication. I spent years in a fog of drugs and over medication. This doctor is my angel. Disregard any negative reviews on this site. Go see her and you will be helped. I wish I had met her sooner.

My experience with Dr. Rosenblatt is very good the negative reviews I'm reading are the ones that I have noticed that runs out of their meds basically use it more than they should and when they show up they are very angry And edgy I am happy to have her because when I'm in the hospital and call her either her or shelly shows up 6 o'clock in the morning before any other doctor sees me that day they have their hands full but they are a great team and I appreciate them

Funny how so many people have such negative experiences and every now and then one comes along and loves her. I would not doubt if she has someone leave a positive comment because there is really not a thing positive I can say. She is an embarrassment I waited for hours to see her and got less than 5 minutes. She was pre-occupied and had a could not care less attitude. I went to another pain doctor for many years when I lived on the west coast so I have something to compare. She is a really terrible doctor . You get a strange feeling that money is all she is after. Sorry but that's the truth.

I saw a lot of doctors before being referred to Dr. Rosenblatt. She is a caring doctor who wants to see her patients' pain managed so they can live full lives. She works directly with my primary doctor and my nutritionist in order to manage my pain level to ensure that I can be as active as possible with as little pain as possible. If you are looking for a doctor who will help you, Dr. Rosenblatt is the one. If you are looking for a blind prescription for opioid pain killers with no underlying medical condition, she is not the one to see. Dr. Rosenblatt is highly ethical and if you are a junkie looking for drugs, go somewhere else. If you truly want help with a legitimate issue, or if you have an opioid addiction you want help to beat, she is the one to see.

I agree with last review! The best advice is to call your insurance carrier and see if not seeing an md is allowed! From a former patient it was said that this office bills the highest level of care, so she will get paid more money. Also if you are scheduled for a procedure only (epidural) they bill insurance not only for shot but they add on a office visit which this was never done. Another story that was mentioned in waiting room was being charged for services during post op. How i understood this is if you had a procedure done there is a waiting period either 10 days or 90 days that will not be paid if you have a follow up. But some how this office does something to bill & it gets paid. Which means you the patient can be charged either a copay or a coinsurance. This does not seem right. It does appear for the last 6 months that she has become more greedy...its apparent by the double/triple appointments. She forces her employees to follow this protocol. I'm pleased to be gone with this place. My current pain physician is wonderful & has been accepting patients of Dr. Rosenblatts. To all that are disappointed I suggest you shop around. Good luck.

Something out of a really bad movie. Unclean office and no place to sit! I have terrible back pain all my adult life and I am made to stand because she is so cheap and money hungry? Has anyone that has seen her felt she is not the most money hungry woman alive? The so called Rosenblatt is always to busy to see patients in pain who have been sitting for 2 or more hours so you are lucky if after the entire morning you see a nurse. Is it legal to double and triple book appointments, collect insurance fee's and never see the doctor? This is some racket she has got going. I heard a patient in the waiting room say she heard her on the phone for 1/2 hour making personal plans while dozens of people in pain where waiting for her. I would never recommend her to anyone in this lifetime.

Office is totally gross. The dust in the waiting room looks like it's been there since the creation of man! Not enough chairs to accomodate the doubling up on appts. Sucks each month to go because dr never arrives on time, because she is at hospital. What i noticed is for NEW patients the dr will see them but after that the arnp takes over. The employees are not very approachable and seem like their doing you a favor. Considering patients that go there are in pain you'd think they would have some compassion. NOPE!!!!!!!!! Like the saying goes OVER worked & under PAID .....ya get watcha pay for cause to them its just a JOB . Never will I go back and never will I refer this practice. This not only includes Boca office but Pompano too A full star is being generous.

I was outraged on how the office was dirty, not enough chairs for patients, and the long wait was horrible. Staff was not very helpful,nor approachable to ask a question. Many people left after 45 mins either to go to another appointment or could not stand any longer. Saw physician few a min then nurse took over. I felt like I was on an assemble line. No person to person time to get a better understanding of my problems. This was my first visit and my last. I will not recommend this physician or this office.
