Meet Melissa Masotto
– PA-C
I am a board-certified Physician Assistant licensed in both Florida and New York, and I am passionate about helping patients achieve healthy skin, improved wellness, and greater confidence through personalized, evidence-based care.
My journey into medicine has been shaped by a diverse clinical background in dermatology, critical care, emergency medicine, urgent care, and surgical care. I earned my Physician Assistant Degree from Hofstra University, where I had the honor of serving as President of the PA Studies Class of 2025. Before pursuing my graduate education, I graduated summa cum laude from Stony Brook University with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and a concentration in Emergency and Critical Care. I was also a Division I Women’s Volleyball student-athlete at the University at Buffalo, an experience that taught me the value of dedication, teamwork, and perseverance. In addition, I have been an EMT for over 5 years.
Throughout my training, I completed clinical rotations in dermatology, Surgical Intensive Care, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Women’s Health, Psychiatry, and Urgent Care. These experiences gave me a strong foundation in caring for patients as a whole person, not just treating a specific condition. I believe that understanding a patient’s overall health is essential to delivering the highest quality dermatologic care.
My Approach
At Skin Center of Florida, I am proud to be part of a team that places medicine and science at the forefront of every treatment approach. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive, patient-centered experience where skin health, wellness, and aesthetics work together to help patients look and feel their best.
In addition to providing dermatologic care, I am excited to lead our IV Therapy Lounge and assist in our Weight Management, where we offer wellness and recovery treatments designed to help patients rejuvenate from the inside out. I enjoy helping patients develop individualized treatment plans that support both their skin health and overall well-being.
My goal is to make every patient feel heard, comfortable, and confident in their care. I believe that the best outcomes come from building strong relationships with patients, taking the time to understand their concerns, and creating personalized solutions that align with their goals. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to healthier skin and improved wellness.
