About Melanie Wilson-Taylor, M.D.
Being a pediatrician provides a unique opportunity to provide health care to an entire family, not just the pediatric patient. I enjoy working with parents and children to better understand how their individual family choices, coupled with environmental factors can influence long-term health, and to provide guidance that can optimize that child’s health as they become independent adults. I enjoy the partnership and relationship that is developed in primary care and highlight this concept while teaching medical students and pediatric residents during their training.
