“I started my private practice, Priority Care, to be the kind of doctor I always wanted to be, the kind everyone deserves. As a direct primary care physician, my patients’ visits aren’t rushed, and I’m always here for them when they need me most. My goal is to provide all of my patients with quality care, greater access, and better solutions all of the time.”
Dr. Melissa earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology at Millsaps University and her DO, Osteopathic Medicine, from Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences, Kansas City, MO. She completed her residency in family medicine at Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte, NC and spent a month with Samaritan’s Purse in Kenya providing healthcare services. A resident of Charlotte for almost a decade, Dr. Melissa can be found walking the trails of the Evergreen Nature Reserve with Roscoe, her Mini Australian Shepherd, or riding her bike through different neighborhoods. She is also the founder of two book clubs that meet regularly, currently serving as Board President of Transcend Charlotte, and is a member of Plaza Midwood Merchants Association.
Earning her A.A.S. in Medical Assisting from ECPI University and over a decade of experience under her belt as a Registered Medical Assistant with the AMT, Amanda not only oversees daily clinic operations but ensures they run smoothly as Practice Coordinator. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her daughters and husband.
"I absolutely love to help people when they need it most and make sure that they are cared for and treated with the utmost respect and compassion. My family is my top priority and I want to bring that same mindset and mentality to the care that I give every patient I encounter."
