MELLA ORTOPEDIKA (Dr. Pierre M. Mella) - Degenerative and Oncologic Spine Surgery, General Orthopaedics (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, Spine Oncology / Cancer, Orthopedics, Wound Care)

I am really grateful to Dr. Pierre Mella for his timely help and treatment. My father hurt his wrist accidentally two days ago. Then he always felt hurt, couldn’t sleep well and today his wrist was swollen seriously. When contacting Dr. Pierre Mella, he said it was serious and he immediately arranged him to get X-ray, and then he opened clinic room just for him, explained his wrist fracture to us very patiently and gave him adequate treatment even though today is holiday. At first we thought it was difficult to make this issue solved in time cuz these days are during holiday, thanks to doctor my father can finally feel less painful.

I had an accident and had 2 hair line fructures on my left ankle. I immediately called Dr. Pierre Mella and he answered. From the moment i called him he was monitoring my condition. He later on had me take xrays to determine the damage. He explained to me exactly and told me what he eill have to do. In short, Dr. Mella made me feel calm and what I like is that he explains to you. He takes time and is not one of those doctors who are always in a hurry. He is very courteous and accommodating. I will continue to recommend him to family and friends.

Thank you so much Doc Mella. Very friendly. Professional. Gives you peace of mind. Answers concers very well. Friendly clinic staff. Accommodating. Again, thank you Doc Pierre. God bless you more 👍🙂 -James Marcelo

On April 28, 2020 around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, my son Francis Rouelle Certifico went out of the house to have some fun. Few minutes after I was disturbed by one of our neighbors because of the commotion that happened regarding my son's situation. As I went to the place I saw my son lying on the ground and found out that he fell down from the 2nd floor of an abandoned house. He told me that he went up to catch the dove. Hurriedly, we carried him back home and surveyed his body. That was the time we noticed the huge bump in his right leg and realized that it was fractured. We directly admitted . On April 30, his legs were casted . He was discharged on May 1. A month after (June 1), was his first follow up check up. Supposedly, he was scheduled for another check up on July 2. However, it was declared ECQ resulting that there was no available clinic on the month of September. It took a lot of time and made us all worried for his situation that is why my mother insisted to let Francis Rouelle have an x-ray and brought him to Hi-Precision. After getting the result we proceed to UCMed Hospital.Suprisingly, my mother, Cecilia Tillor knew Dr. Mella so he helped us in any ways he could. We were all worried as we noticed that my son's legs are not alligned with each other so we begged and asked for Dr. Mella's help for we are having some financial problems and offered us a charity. On August 5 his cast were removed. With the help of Sir Stephen Tan, everything was fixed. September 17, 2020 was the scheduled operation and finally it was successful. I am beyond happy that my son is doing better than before. I can't explain how blessed I am to have such helpful individuals like Dr. Pierre Mella, Dr. Nico Cabahug and most especially Sir Stephen Tan. May God bless your humble and genuine heart! Thank you so much!

I am btw a cancer patient, had prior spine surgery in Jan 2019 w an attempt to excise the tumor however in the OR Theater it was found to have diffused, so they only took a sample and ran biopsy w final histopath that came out Diffused Astrocytoma Grade 2 at level of T2-T6. After the first spine surgery, i told myself never to go thru the same agony but the numbness and pain has become more debilitating and other neurologic signs and symptoms were progressing that i lost strength on contralateral leg and started to have trouble w bladder and bowel control. I had no choice but to look for a 2nd opinion and my encounter w Dr Mella was such a blessing. During my first visit i was told to have an MRI spine comparison and on my 2nd visit it was discussed that tumor was growing and spine has become so stretched as the tumor occupies most space of the spinal canal wc explains the worsening neurologic signs and symptoms. He was so straight forward and quick to give me options to either do nothing and wait for disease to progress and eventually will get paralyse or remove tumor w 90% chance of getting paralyse, worse w lost of bladder and bowel control but stop the progression of cancer and get 10% chance of getting back my strenght and walk again. It was truly hard for me and my family to decide but he clearly presented to me the plan and that he will be working w team of experts and will be using Neuro monitoring wc will guide then when they’re going near the spine and nerves... I had no choice but to go thru the whole process again and honestly i woke up in the OR w a feeling i just woke up from a deep sleep w pain that was bearable, and the best part of this experience is that they were able to remove most of the tumor and did not touch any nerves that right after surgery i was able to wiggle big toes and other toes, 2 days post-op was able to sit and stand in place and later that afternoon i marched near my bed. Today marks the 15th day post surgery, wound is clean and dry, starting to walk few steps, and i must say that i feel better than i was feeling yesterday and this is coz of Dr Mella and his team of experts enough for their dedication to help a patient remain functional in his lifetime.
