Dr. Melissa Sanchez is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).

Originally from a small town in Indiana, Melissa developed a strong calling to care for others at an early age. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Shortly after, she moved to Portland, where she completed her Master of Science at OHSU, specializing as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

During her time at OHSU, Melissa deepened her commitment to equitable, patient-centered care. With more than 15 years of clinical and academic experience, she has focused her work on women’s health, wellness, and chronic disease management. She takes a holistic approach to care—getting to know each patient as a whole person to support their best possible quality of life.

Outside the clinic, Melissa enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and staying active through regular exercise.
