Melissa McHughMD, FAAP

A transplant from the panhandle of Texas, Dr. Melissa McHugh joined APA in 2015 after almost 5 years of practicing at Children’s Hospital of Colorado Network of Care. She settled in Colorado after a few experiences across America, attending undergraduate at The University of Texas at Austin, teaching high school in San Jose, California, returning to Texas for medical school at Baylor College of Medicine, and completing residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

Her passion is educating patients and parents about how their bodies work and what makes them work better. She believes that armed with knowledge, everyone can lead healthy and fulfilling lives.

When she is not at work, she enjoys taking her dog for long walks, picking weeds out of her garden and spending time with her husband.
