Biography
As a certified nurse practitioner, I specialize in the care and evaluation of the spine, spinal nerves and spinal cord. I provide a patient-centered approach to treatment for conditions such as back pain, neck pain, lumbar radiculopathy, cervical radiculopathy and spinal stenosis. After meeting with a patient and evaluating his or her unique condition, I work with each of them to develop an individualized, multidisciplinary care plan, by utilizing the many resources available here at Ohio State Spine Care. I am passionate about connecting with my patients during this process and seek to understand their health goals and perspective.
I chose to work at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because of its notable academic environment. I enjoy having the opportunity to learn and grow in my profession alongside like-minded, motivated individuals.
In my free time I enjoy reading, gardening, camping and spending time with my husband and children.

Melanie Yang is the best!
Very thorough
My provider made me feel comfortable and at ease.
My provider made me feel like my thoughts/concerns about my condition are only partially relevant. I felt shamed by my provider. I left feeling afraid, feeling as if I wasn't cared about. I felt the visit was more about how the provider's department thinks about my case regardless of how I feel about it. I do have trust in my surgeon's abilities but I think communication and empathy for their patients needs to be taken under more consideration.
Very pleasant, informed and easy to speak with.
All involved seem to care about the questions in regards to difficult recovery after surgery.
