Melissa grew up in Blooming Prairie, MN, and has been a lifelong patient at the practice. She began her career in dentistry in 2001 and joined Legacy Dental in 2009. Melissa works with Dr. Nguyen to assist with Invisalign treatments, supports the dentists with patient care, and educates patients on maintaining good dental health. She finds her work especially rewarding when she sees the improvement in a patient’s smile—both in health and appearance.
Beyond her daily work, Melissa has been involved with community programs such as Give Kids a Smile and enjoys teaching children about dental health during Dental Health Month at local schools. She is also active in her community, serving on several committees in Blooming Prairie.
Outside the office, Melissa loves cheering on her children at their sporting events, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying the outdoors—whether camping, riding ATVs, or gardening.
