    Melissa is very good at what she does. the "APRN" means that she has a masters degree in nursing. I see Melissa for my post cancer followup visits. I have an CT scan and an MRI for each visit. She is very knowledgeable and has the ability to explain technical things in a way that is understandable as we review what is seen on the CT scan and MRI. She has good people skills and is very easy to work with.
