Melissa Clay, FNPSpine Nurse Practitioner
“The best part of my job is watching our patients improve and return to a better quality of life”
I began my career working as an emergency room RN, where I honed my clinical skills and learned the importance of always remaining an advocate for our patients. As a nurse practitioner I have the privilege of providing care for our patients both in the outpatient setting and assisting the surgeon in the operating room. I am committed to providing our patients with quality care, treating them with compassion and empathy.
I was born and raised in Santa Cruz, and the beach has always been my happy place. In my free time, I enjoy going to music concerts, sporting events and just being outdoors in general.
