Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Melissa Lopez, and I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my practice with dual certifications in Family Medicine and Women’s Health. With over twenty years as a nurse and since 2018, serving as an advanced practice practitioner, I have had the privilege of supporting women through all stages of their lives. This journey has deepened my empathy, understanding, and drive to continually enhance my ability to assist women in achieving optimal health.

 

My educational background includes an undergraduate degree from Montana State University, where I graduated with honors as a member of Sigma Theta Tau. I completed both my master’s and post-master’s degrees at the University of Cincinnati. My professional affiliations include The International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, The Menopause Society, and The Nurse Practitioner Women’s Health. 

 

Specializing in hormone support for women experiencing surgical menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency, perimenopause, menopause, and PCOS, I am committed to providing evidence- based information and treatment options. Additionally, I have extended my expertise to include medical weight loss and male testosterone supplementation, as well as offering specialized care to women desiring hormone optimization who
have a history of breast cancer.

 

Driven by a desire to elevate my practice and better serve the community, I continuously seek to integrate the latest advancements and evidence-based approaches into my work, ensuring that every patient receives the highest level of care and support.
