When health is hard to find, we all need a little grace.

Specialty healthcare that starts with you, not a formula.

You are the decision-maker in your care here.

Dr. Melissa believes in partnering with every individual who comes to Grace. The goal is to help you understand what's happening, explore your options, and make informed decisions about your care.

What brings someone to Grace?

Persistent symptoms

Questions without clear answers

Chronic pain

Fatigue and poor sleep

Hormonal changes

Metabolic concerns

Don't see your concern here? That's okay. These are examples, not an exhaustive list.

If you're wondering if Grace is a good fit, explore How Grace Works for answers to many FAQs and an option to send your question to Dr. Melissa.

Good medicine starts with listening

Your history, your symptoms, your questions, and what matters to you are all part of the conversation. At Grace, we take the time to listen, look for connections, and consider possibilities that may have been overlooked.

Integrative medicine at Grace brings together conventional medicine, functional medicine, and traditional healing approaches. Rather than relying on any one approach, we consider what each has to offer, guided by medical evidence, clinical experience, and your individual needs.

As a fully licensed osteopathic physician (D.O.), Dr. Melissa brings a foundation in conventional medical diagnosis and treatment, along with the osteopathic understanding that body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, the body has an inherent capacity to regulate and heal itself, and structure and function influence one another. Her additional training in preventive and integrative medicine, along with her interest in genetics, broadens the perspectives she brings to your care.

There is no one-size-fits-all Grace protocol.

Care may include conventional or specialty testing, prescription medications or supplements, osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), genetics, and/or other approaches. The goal isn't to do more, but to understand what's needed and make thoughtful recommendations, whether that means investigating further, beginning treatment, or simplifying an existing plan.

You remain the decision-maker in your care. Dr. Melissa brings medical knowledge, curiosity, and clinical judgment to the conversation so you can work together to find an approach that fits your body, your life, and what matters to you.

“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”
Andrew Taylor Still, founder of osteopathic medicine, 1899

What it's like to be a patient at Grace

A Steady Partner through Complex Care

Charlotte, NC

Dr. Melissa is compassionate, intelligent and creative. She is fiercely persistent when it comes to getting to the root of a problem and finding solutions. She truly cares about her patients and treats the whole person. My case has been extremely complicated. In the midst of the many visits with all of the different “ologists“, Dr. Melissa has been the one constant. Her support and encouragement have been invaluable. Her insight and recommendations have helped me to continue to stand (literally) at the amazement of other practitioners. I am forever grateful for all of her care!

Care that Takes Time

Easley, SC

She takes the time to listen, is supportive & truly wants to help. If you hate modern assembly line “health care” you will love Dr. Melissa.

Starts with Your Goals

Seneca, SC

Dr. Melissa starts with my goals and brings her expertise in epigenetics and natural supplements to support my health, rather than react to disease.
