Melissa Paris, PA

“I want to inspire children and help them live well-rounded, happy lives, maintaining both physical health as well as mental health.”

Paris is a board-certified physician assistant who specializes in pediatrics.

She enjoys working in pediatrics because children are honest, fun and spontaneous and she likes guiding them and their parents from birth to adulthood.

She chose medicine because she likes serving others and is fascinated by the human body and how we use science to treat and mitigate diseases.

Paris received her master’s degree at East Carolina University.

In her spare time, she loves the outdoors and enjoys swimming, running, hiking, backpacking, kayaking, skiing and traveling to national parks.
