Dr. Melissa Prutch graduated with a BS in Biochemistry from California State University San Marcos. She then earned her Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA. During this time, she was able to visit Denver for 6 months during her clinical years, where she fell in love with the scenery and weather. She later switched coasts to sunny Tampa, Florida where she completed her three-year residency training at James A Haley VA.
She looks forward to getting to know her Colorado patients and keeping them active and healthy, any way she can. She sees patients with a wide range of issues including heel pain, arthritis, tendon pain, foot deformities, trauma, and reconstructive needs.
Dr. Prutch is originally from Southern California. In her free time, she spends her evenings and weekends exploring the Denver-Metro area. She is always looking for new restaurants and breweries to try. Dr. Prutch enjoys bowling and yoga, but also loves spending time at home with her cat, Cali, reading a good book, watching a horror movie, and video-chatting her boyfriend and family.
