Melissa Koopmann, physician assistant, sees dermatology patients for conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, skin cancer and melanoma checks, cyst removals and more.
Melissa Koopmann, dermatology
physician assistant, has held a passion
for health care since a young age.
Koopmann received her Master of Science
in Physician Assistant Studies from
Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine
and Science in North Chicago, Illinois. She
is certified by the National Commission on
Certification of Physician Assistants.
In September 2024, the National
Commission on Certification of Physician
Assistants (NCCPA) awarded her a
Certificate of Added Qualification in
Dermatology (CAQ-Derm). The certification
recognizes that she has advanced
knowledge, skills and experience in
dermatology, including passing a
dermatology specific board exam.
Working as a dermatology physician
assistant has allowed her to create lasting, meaningful relationships with
her patients and has provided her
the opportunity to care for a range of
patients and conditions.
Koopmann sees a variety of dermatology
conditions in patients of all ages, including
acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, rashes,
alopecia, warts and molluscum, nail
disorders, cyst removals and provides skin
cancer screenings and melanoma checks.
“I love observing my patients become
more confident as they achieve
improvement in their skin - it is truly life
changing for them,” she said.
She also enjoys working with patients
who have chronic skin disease, saying it’s
wonderful to help those patients and to
see the positive changes her care makes.
As a provider, Koopmann says it’s
important to spend time listening to
her patients and helping them feel
comfortable during their visit.
Outside of health care, she lives an
active lifestyle and enjoys running and
cross-country skiing, traveling, cooking
and gardening.
Koopmann is a Wisconsin native and is happy to be living and working where her roots are and being close to her parents and extended family.
