Dr. Melissa Hill
Overview
I specialize in conservative and surgical treatments of foot and ankle conditions in children and adults, and have a special interest in treating athletes of all ages. My goal when treating patients is to help them heal as quickly as possible and keep them active during recovery to maintain physical fitness and strength. When your feet hurt, it makes staying active difficult. I like to take a collaborative approach with patients, and their families, to find the best and safest approach to getting them back to activity and believe that education is the key to preventing recurrent injury. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, running, cycling, and yoga.

Central Carolina Foot And Ankle
I am a surgically trained podiatrist seeing patients of all ages for foot and ankle conditions. I utilize a conservative approach to my practice and only recommend surgery after all practical conservative treatment options have been considered. Sometimes the greatest satisfaction is working with a patient to find a nonoperative solution to a problem they thought would require major surgery. I am originally from Wisconsin and Minnesota and return to the Midwest whenever I can to see friends and family. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with my fiancée and our dog. Dr. Lee is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Hammer Toe.
