Dr. Mel brings not only years of experience in pediatrics but also deep compassion as a mom herself. Her journey goes from caring for younger cousins, to shadowing a pediatrician at 15, to co-founding Juna. She is rooted in connection, trust, and a desire to make healthcare work for modern families.
Her practice follows the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which offers:
-
Direct access to Dr. Mel via text or call
-
Same- or next-day appointments
-
Longer visit times for deeper support
-
Ongoing communication without phone trees or portals
-
A simple monthly membership fee—no surprise bills
Dr. Mel is also expanding Juna’s services with an eczema care package and new training in pediatric hypnosis and integrative medicine to offer holistic, whole-child care.
Before you go, Dr. Mel leaves parents with this heartfelt advice:
Go outside. Put your phone down. Dance and sing in your living room. And trust your gut: you’re a good parent.
