Melissa Trinidad, PA-C

Melissa is a board-certified Physician Assistant who brings curiosity, compassion, and a genuinely upbeat energy to her work at Genesis Healthcare. With a background in exercise physiology, nutrition, and longevity medicine, she loves helping people understand their health in a way that feels clear, encouraging, and doable. She decided to learn as much as she could about bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) when she herself and other women close to her were experiencing perimenopause and felt like no one understood or could help them. Melissa became a PA because she enjoys learning, solving problems, and connecting with people – whether she’s easing someone’s worries, breaking down a diagnosis in plain language, or celebrating small wins. She believes patients know their bodies best, and she’s here to listen, guide, and partner with them. In the DPC model, Melissa values having the time to slow down, get to know each person’s story, and work together on practical steps that support their long-term wellness.

Melissa is a U.S. Coast Guard mom and spends her free time enjoying the local lakes on her stand-up paddle board, discovering local adventures with her husband, and traveling to visit her two children. She believes dancing in the kitchen while you’re cooking always makes the food taste better.
