Michelle Fegeley, MS, PA-C received her Bachelor's Degree in Dance from Elon University and Master's Degree in Physician Assistant Studies from Philadelphia University in 2009. She is originally from Florida but moved to Cary, NC when she was a teenager and returned to the Triangle upon becoming a PA. She began her career as a PA working in the emergency department in Sanford, NC where she learned how to become an efficient, high-quality and patient-centered clinician, but soon realized she did not have a passion for Emergency Medicine!
In 2011, Michelle joined Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina (OrthoNC) to pursue her dream of practicing Sports Medicine. While at OrthoNC, she has worked in multiple different specialties, including Orthopedic Urgent Care, Sports Medicine, Joint Reconstructive Surgery, General Orthopedic Surgery, Spine Surgery and Non-Operative Spine Clinic. She was promoted to APP manager in 2014 and then again promoted to Director of Clinical Services in 2016. In September 2019, she was named Director of Health and Wellness and entrusted with the task of creating and establishing the practice's first wellness program called "OrthoNC Health." In addition to overseeing the program, she recently completed training to become a health coach through UNC-Greensboro's Department of Public Education and is currently providing clinical health coaching services as well as seeing patients for pre-surgery wellness appointments and bone health (osteoporosis) screenings.
Michelle is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and Physician Assistants in Orthopaedic Surgery. She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and licensed with the North Carolina Medical Board.
When not at work, Michelle enjoys yoga and is currently training to become a yoga instructor. While her passion is traveling the world, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two wonderful boys most of all!
Michelle is excellent, explains everything thoroughly so you understand. She includes you in her heath plan to help you get stronger.
Awesome . Was really patient, spent time explaining issues. Caring person.
Knowledgeable and caring. Listened.
Michelle is a very caring and thorough PA.
She always give full attention, and she has a holistic approach to health. I appreciate Michelle’s extensive functional medicine expertise. She is a true gem in the sea of healthcare providers.
Excellent
Michelle was excellent! I felt heard. She put in place a great plan to help me with my osteoporosis.
Michelle is phenomenal! She takes the time to see the big picture and as much as I didn’t want to necessarily hear what she was saying she was right on target. I know if I continue to listen to her I will keep getting better and better. If I continue to put in the work I think I’ll feel better in my 50s than I did in my 30s. Thanks a million Michelle!
Michelle is able to walk the fine line between very encouraging and being “real” with her prognosis. She has clearly explained why she wants to do the treatments she recommends. When I leave her office I feel informed.
Dr Fegeley is most excellent. She’s very knowledgeable about biologic chemistry and what building blocks work to enhance health - gut health and menopausal health in my case. She’s also able to explain it well to someone who’s not familiar with it. I highly recommend her to anyone struggling with not feeling 100% and not sure why they might feel that way.
