Meet Melissa Blackburn, DO., FACOG
Dr. Melissa Starr Blackburn grew up in Hollywood, Florida, and received a full scholarship to attend Florida State University, where she majored in Exercise Physiology.
Her interest in the human body then led her to further her education and attend medical school at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she graduated summa cum laude with her doctorate. She chose this program because she knew that the physical body and organ systems were not all separate entities but work harmoniously as one.
She then went on to graduate from her Ob/Gyn residency at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ. Dr. Blackburn has a passion for exercise and nutrition and believes that these two components of lifestyle are important in maintaining optimal health and avoiding future health problems.

So happy with my choice to see Dr. Blackburn. I feel heard on my challenges with hormone struggles and weight management in my forties and can't believe what great results I've had in multiple areas. I've been holding at my desired weight, my gastro system is the happiest it's even been, and I feel like I have no inflammation anywhere. Finding a doctor that can go through this challenging decade was on my list, and I'm very happy I landed in her office.

Dr. Blackburn is the best! She makes you feel comfortable which is very important to me. This kind of stuff can be very awkward and uncomfortable and she makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend using her. She pays attention and listens to you.

I had such an amazing experience at The Modern Woman in Tinton Falls! Dr. Blackburn made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire appointment. The space is beautiful, and my laser hair removal treatment was virtually painless. I couldn't recommend them more!

Highly recommend Dr. Blackburn for anyone seeking to optimize their health and wellbeing. She is very well versed in longevity science, not just looking younger but also the blood work analysis and all things related to getting your numbers where they should be so you FEEL better. She started me with a peptide therapy designed to help me overcome a few injuries that have been nagging which seem to already be helping! Her space is very beautiful and modern with state of the art technology! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to Look and Feel their best!
