Melissa M. Patient Coordinator
Melissa’s interest in the beauty industry was always there, but it was a personal battle with skin cancer that ignited her passion and commitment to skin health. Even as a survivor, Melissa is still required to undergo full body checks every three months to ensure that no new skin cancers are forming. Her firsthand experience has taught her the importance of early detection and protecting your skin from UV exposure. Melissa uses her role as a patient coordinator at Skin Artisans to share her story and educate our patients on the critical role of sun protection in preventing and treating skin cancer.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Melissa is a people person—she absolutely adores meeting new people and learning their stories! Her warm, approachable, and engaging personality is a key factor in making our patients feel welcomed and comfortable the moment they step through our doors. She excels at listening to patients’ concerns about their skin and providing sound recommendations from our retail skincare lines, especially when it comes to sun protection!
At Skin Artisans, Melissa’s work philosophy is simple but powerful: ‘the patient always comes first!’ She is dedicated to ensuring that every patient leaves our clinic feeling amazing about their experience. This commitment to patient care is not just a job for Melissa, but a source of great satisfaction. Knowing that she has played a role in making someone feel heard, seen, beautiful, and confident is what she loves most about her job and Skin Artisans.
Melissa appreciates Skin Artisans’ family-like atmosphere amongst the staff, how trustworthy her team members are, and how much everyone cares about our patients. She feels honored to work in a clinic that is so well-known and respected in the area. Melissa is also proud to work alongside plastic surgeons who are not only top-rated physicians in the Twin Cities but also the entire nation!
When outside of Skin Artisans, Melissa loves nothing more than spending time with her family. She is the mother of three grown children and the proud “MiMi” to her first granddaughter! Whether she is out spending summers on the lake, cheering on her beloved Vikings, or traveling with family – Melissa is always working on living life to the fullest!
