Drew Mellen

Dr Mellen was my gyno with my first baby at the age of 38.
I Loved everything about Dr Mellen. I was just recommending him still to this day and came across his obituary. So very sad to hear . He was one of the Best

I just learned of Dr. Mellen's passing. He will always have a special place in my heart and mind. As a first time mom and single at age 38 in 1988, he was my confidant, my rock and of course an excellent doctor. I was blessed to have had him with me during the most important period of my life. I have told my son over and over of the story of his birth when Dr. Mellen handed him to me and said, "Here's your baby, Sharon." The best words I ever heard and his voice still echos in my ear. Rest easy, dear friend, know that you had a life well lived and were loved by so many. Bless his loving family and friends as they grieve the loss of his bright light and all that he was to them.

So saddened to learn of his passing. Dr. Mellen was my doctor for almost 30 years. He saved my life not once, but twice, discovering early signs of two different cancers that initial test results missed, but his expertise and diligence as a physician uncovered. The medical community shall not see his like again. Thank you and RIP Dr. Mellen.

Dr. Mellen delivered my second child in April 1988. I saw him beginning with that pregnancy and until he left the practice. He saw me through some tough episodes and I always looked forward to my annual visit. I have extremely warm memories of him, and admired greatly how he lived his life.

So very sad to hear this. Not only did Dr. Mellen deliver my twins, but he delivered babies of some of my favorite people. By the time the twins pregnancy was viable, I had been through 5 IVF cycles and I was a neurotic mess. Every twinge, every cold, the minor things and the not so minor things- the terror after finding out in an early ultrasound that one baby had a brain cyst that could either be nothing, or could be Trisomy 18, or when I called him paranoid when I had the flu on vacation and was worried how that would affect the twins. Each time, he calmed me down- not with a pat on the head and it will be fine dear, but by providing facts and reassurance in a calm manner to help me slowly realize over the course of the pregnancy that I might actually be one of the lucky ones who gets two healthy babies in the end. He had that amazing combination of a wonderful bedside manner and excellent diagnostic and surgical skills, which were eventually needed given that the twins were breech & transverse. I am forever grateful to him for helping us complete our family.

I am so saddened of the passing of such a wonderful and kindest of people like Dr Mellen. He delivered both my daughters and will always be remembered as that very kind, smart and professional of physicians. Pennsylvania and the world will not be the same without him. Condolences and deepest empathy to the family.

My deepest condolences. He was my physician. A wonderful man and doctor who I trusted very much . He will be deeply missed.

I have SO many fond memories of Drew! I met him during his first year of residency at Pennsylvania Hospital, while I was working there in the ICU and Step Down areas. He was bright, compassionate and funny! I ran into him often over the years after I left there. He always wanted to know how you were doing and " what's going on" both personally and professionally. Time never seemed to weaken the connection he had to you and for you. He was a great physician and guided many, including friends of mine, through some challenging and difficulty pregnancies. Hi was a life well lived, His wit and contagious smile is something I will always remember.
My deepest and sincerest sympathy to the entire family. May he rest in eternal peace.

May Dr. Mellen rest in peace.. He was my doctor for 20 years and delivered both of my children. He had a way of always putting me at ease with his beautiful smile and kind words. My heart breaks for his family . I called him handsome whenever i came in for my appointments . My sincere condolences to the Mellen family....

The services today were one of the most beautiful services I have been too.
Drew will always have a special
place in my ❤ !
I met him 15 years ago, great advisor, great OB, great friend!
Ill alway remember the look on his face when I asked, as he was writing in my chart almost 14 yrs ago... I asked, since Im having a c-section do you think you could add a few modifiers and do lyposuction on my stomach then make two small incisions on my inner thighs while you have me open? He stops writing, only his eyes move above his glasses and says no, then continues to write!! Gotta love him!!
He is and will always be one in a million, no matter what I said or asked, his reply was ok babe.
I want to thank you Drew for being in my life, for your advise, (no matter what the subject was), and for allowing me the greatest opportunity to know you!!
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family not only today, but every day!❤

May his memory be eternal.

Helaine and I are in shock over Drew's passing. Besides being Helaine's Doctor and employer for many years, he delivered Harrison, ( right on his due date) and made many helpful suggestions for me for some of my orthopedic issues. The last time we saw him was about 2 years ago. He was amazed at how big Harrison got, but said I looked the same, after all these years. God bless him. May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Jenn, I cant tell you how sorry I am to hear of Drews passing. I remember all the great times we had as BC freshman and how much I enjoyed Drews regular visits. He was so sweet to me and all the Cheverus girls. I always thought you were so lucky to have such a nice guy madly in love with you. Please know that I am thinking of you and your family at this time. I am so so sorry. Love always, Ellen Paisley ❤❤❤

To the entire Mellen Family, I am truly saddened, and so very sorry for your loss! My prayers are with all of you. Dr. Mellen was a wonderful and caring doctor, as well as a kind and gentle man. He took care of me throughout my high risk pregnancy 21 years ago, making sure I was at ease with each situation that arose. He was a doctor who truly took interest in your concerns. His calmness, demeanor and professionalism were special gifts. Because of him, I am a mother of a beautiful son! My heart goes out to all of you. His memory will always be with me. God Bless You!!

I worked at Pennsylvania Hospital when Drew was a Resident. My thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies.

You touched so many lives, and you were present during the most meaningful moment of so many people's lives. Your legacy will live on in all those you inspired.

My condolences to Dr. Mellens family. He saved my life and my daughters life 21 years ago. He was a great doctor and human being.

My sincerest condolences to the family hope you find comfort through prayer 1Thessalonians 5:17
