Melissa is a nurse practitioner, not a physician. We never describe Presence care as physician care, and if your situation needs a physician or a specialist, you will be told so directly.
What an adult-gerontology primary care focus means for you
That population focus covers adolescents through older adults, including the very old. It is why our scheduled in-office care is for ages 13 and older, and why children 12 and under are cared for virtually through a household membership rather than in the office.
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. What a nurse practitioner can do in Texas explains the scope in plain language, and what adult-gerontology primary care is goes further.
How care with Melissa works
- Virtual visits across Texas and Illinois, for members and for one-time care.
- Scheduled in-office visits at the Presence practice in North Richland Hills, ages 13 and older — never walk-in.
- Wellness visits, sick visits, chronic-condition follow-up and medication review.
- Testing ordered and then actually explained — see lab result review.
- Referrals discussed and planned with someone who knows your history.

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.
