In Dr. Melissa Hu's own words

How Dr. Melissa Hu describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I just don't really believe in the LED therapy effectively, you know, treating allergies or inflammation
  • The practice aims to provide the best experience and treatment for their patients.
  • Because we're ENT-based training, we tend to focus more strongly on function

Specialization

  • The practice specializes in ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat).
  • Dr. Melissa Hu's specialization includes procedures on the brows, eyelids, nose, lips, ears, face, neck, and scalp.
  • The practice offers Eustachian tubes procedures.

Training & credentials

  • The practice has been treating patients for over 30 years.

Consultation

  • If you’re considering facial surgery, we’re happy to help you explore your options and determine what’s right for you

Safety

  • And then the size of that device I think would cause quite a bit of trauma and problems

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$829

Payments

25

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Melissa Hu received $829 across 25 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
