Melissa McCaskill
Nurse Practitioner
Melissa is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with over a decade of nursing experience. As a fourth-generation Idahoan, she is deeply rooted in her community and passionate about providing compassionate, high-quality, and personalized care.
Throughout her clinical journey, Melissa observed a recurring theme—patients were often treated symptom by symptom, without truly getting better. This sparked her shift toward functional medicine, where she now focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness to support lasting wellness and transformation.
Melissa’s academic path began at the University of Idaho, followed by her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Lewis-Clark State College. She went on to earn her Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Northwest Nazarene University.
She specializes in hormone optimization, fertility support, breast implant illness, gut and brain health, peptide therapy, regenerative aesthetics, and medical weight loss. Whether it is helping patients balance their hormones, restore their confidence, or improve their overall health, Melissa is committed to helping others feel their best.
