A provider who makes room for your story.
Listening is part of clinical care. Melissa makes space for your questions, your priorities, and the health experiences that brought you here. That fuller picture helps guide care as your needs change.
To know your care, she wants to know you.
Melissa brings more than 20 years of healthcare experience across nursing and nurse-practitioner work. Her professional experience centers on adults and older adults, where listening carefully, understanding the full history and following changes over time can make care more useful.
Her approach is practical and relationship-based: make room for the whole concern, explain the reasoning behind the plan, and help each person understand what happens next. If a situation needs a specialist or a different level of care, Presence will say so directly.
Experience with adults and older adults
Melissa's professional background includes care across adulthood and later life. That experience is especially useful when several conditions, a growing medication list, changing function and multiple specialists all need to be understood together.
It also shapes what the practice is genuinely good at: unhurried visits, medication review, chronic-condition management over time, preventive care, and coordinating the parts of healthcare that usually fall to the patient. Learn how adult and older-adult primary care works in everyday practice.

How our health information is written and reviewed
Our answer pages are written by the Presence care team. Where a page carries a clinical review line naming Melissa, she has actually reviewed that wording; where it does not, the page says it was written by the care team instead. We do not label anything as clinically reviewed to make it look more authoritative.
