Melissa Cady D.O.

Melissa Cady has always had a love for learning and being active. Her appreciation and fascination with the human body transitioned her from personal trainer to medical student. It is no surprise that she entered the medical profession. Dr. Cady is a physician trained in an osteopathic medical school followed by allopathic postgraduate training. She is board-certified in anesthesiology and fellowship-trained with a board certification in pain medicine. She currently practices part-time anesthesia in Austin. Her initial desire to become an author originated from her realization that one of the greatest needs within the medical system is education, which is undervalued, underpaid, and therefore, under-delivered. Cady's belief is that education of the general public can empower and direct people toward better choices and health while avoiding unnecessary medical interventions. Melissa Cady takes great pride in building rapport with patients by being educational and practical despite the overwhelming pressure by the medical system to minimize time with patients, move more quickly, or succumb to irrational expectations or politics.
