Melissa Moran PA-C

What made you want to become a health care provider or what is your earliest memory of wanting to be one?

Growing up, I’ve always accompanied my Spanish-speaking family members to their medical appointments and instantly grew interest in the medical field. My interest sparked during my travels to countries that lacked basic medical necessities, and I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the medical field where I can make an impact in my community. 

What do you love most about your specialty? / Why did you choose your specialty?

I enjoy working in Urgent Care because I get to see a variety of cases and perform an abundance of procedures, all while providing the best care possible to my patients.

How do you connect with your patients?

I strive to carefully listen to my patient's concerns and understand them with empathy. I always ensure that my patients have a clear understanding of their condition and treatment plan.

What are your interests outside of the office (hobbies, activities)?

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going on walks, shopping, going to the pools/beaches, vacation, etc.

What is your advice for your patients?

I encourage my patients to stay on top of their routine health screenings and check-ups, as this can aid them in maintaining optimal health.
