About Melissa Blackburn, DO

Pediatrician Melissa Blackburn, DO, specializes in providing care from infancy to late adolescence. She is particularly interested in behavior and development.   What would you like people to know about you as a physician? I am an enthusiastic and motivated pediatrician who aims to provide the best and most evidence-based care for children.   How does your work improve lives? By helping children to live happy, healthy lives, we are helping all future generations.   What is your patient care philosophy? I believe in always doing what is best for my patients. In pediatrics, it is essential to always work together with parents to find the best plan of care for their family.   What do you enjoy most about working with patients? In pediatrics, watching children grow is truly the most rewarding experience. I enjoy learning and laughing with them!   What do you enjoy doing in your free time? As a native Floridian, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband and our dog, Bailey. I also love traveling and trying new foods!   What else would you like to share with your patients and colleagues? I am eager and excited to be part of Lakeland Regional Health and the Winter Haven community.
