Dr Mellon decided to become a doctor after watching the struggles of several family members with cancer and other serious medical illnesses. He approaches every patient with the promises he made to his sick parents: explain everything clearly to non-doctors, take as much time as needed to answer all questions, and treat patients as if they were family. Shortly after arriving at the University of Miami in 2016, Dr Mellon took the lead of radiation oncology for brain and spine tumors. He is proud to work every day with a close team of UM and Jackson neurosurgeons, neuro-oncologists, and others to provide the most advanced and compassionate care possible. Dr Mellon also works hard to balance research with clinical care.
