Dr. Melicher feels like her patients are a part of her extended family. From a patient’s first consult to their final postop appointment, Dr. Melicher works hard to provide the best experience for her patients.
Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Dr. Melicher, her husband and their three daughters call Minnesota home. Outside of work, Dr. Melicher spends her time driving her kids around to their many activities. And after a long hiatus from the sport, she is back to working on her backhand and the rest of her tennis game.

Dr. M is awesome. Very personable and excellent at what she does.
So, Kind & Professional
Dr Melicher makes a patient immediately comfortable. She is an outstanding surgeon and explains findings and surgical options and plan very well. I am a retired physician and know and have many choices in my care, and would only see Dr Melicher for oculoplastic surgery. She is the best!
Jill is kind, sweet, and professional!
I felt confident in her findings
Dr. Melicher is an excellent doctor. During my office visits, I appreciate her knowledge and thorough explanations to what was involved with the procedures in which I was scheduled.
Dr Melicher was wonderful. She explained everything and answered all my questions. It seems she did an amazing job on my surgery (just yesterday). I was nervous but trusted her completely and felt very safe in her capable hands. The entire staff was kind, competent and thorough.
Excellent surgeon with fantastic bedside maners
Dr. Mellicher was very friendly and explained everything she would be doing so my son was not anxious.
Absolutely terrific providers, including this excellent doctor.
