Biography
I am passionate about delivering comprehensive women’s health care across patients’ reproductive and nonreproductive stages. As a general obstetrician and gynecologist, I treat patients from their first menstrual cycle, through menopause and beyond. In my role at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I perform gynecologic surgical procedures, including minimally invasive approaches. I also perform vaginal births and cesarean deliveries, and provide prenatal and postpartum care. In addition, I treat conditions including abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, adnexal masses, cervical and vulvar abnormalities, and pelvic pain, and offer contraception counseling.
My patients can expect a compassionate, patient-centered approach when they come to see me. I care for all patients as I would want my own family members to be treated, and I empower them to be advocates for their health needs.
The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is a special place to work and receive medical care. Each clinician offers their unique expertise, and, as one collaborative team, clinicians work together to provide the best personalized health care to all patients, no matter their background.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy exploring the Metro Parks around Columbus and trying new restaurants around the city. During the fall, you’ll find me in scarlet and gray, cheering on the Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium.

Dr Brown answered questions I didn't even know I had. I got all the information I needed to make decisions, not just enough to start research.
Dr brown is always so personable and remembers me even though I only see her once a year. It makes me feel like she really cares about me.
Provider was excellent, very knowledgeable and transparent about care
I had a missed miscarriage and Dr. Brown was so incredible I walked out of that appointment with so much admiration for how she treated me and how kind and compassionate she was. I hope to be able to have her as my provider for when we do eventually have a viable pregnancy as well.
The doctor add always was very personable and made me feel important even though I know she has many patients.
Long wait because doctor was in call and had to see other patients. Th? doctor didn't see some of the test history, but otherwise made me feel cared for and understood my issues
She is excellent!

First time seeing her. I really liked her. Attentive answered my questions. She gave me different options to choose my treatment
Very good experience
Absolutely amazing!! Would choose her and recommend her over and over again!
She knows m medical and stories from last visits and don't feel like have to repeat. Feels like she cares.
Every one of my pregnancy appointments was with Dr. Brown, which was possible because a receptionist suggested I schedule them all after my first appointment. I couldn't be happier with the experience over 9 months, and would even say I looked forward to our time together. She is open, kind, and smart. I'd recommend her to anyone.
I was so impressed with Dr. Brown. Her care and attention to detail exceeded any and all expectations. I wasn't thrilled to link with a new provider but needed to based on Insurance and I'm so glad I landed with Dr. Brown.
Very caring, kind and knowledgeable
I LOVE Dr. Brown and cannot say enough good things about her. She is so kind and makes me feel extremely comfortable. I would recommended her to anyone looking for an OBGYN.

Dr. Brown is an exceptional health care provider. She is genuinely caring, interested, and I trust her expertise.
As a new patient with Dr Melissa Brown, she listened to my past medical history, without having my previous records available. She explained OSU's policies for routine gynecologic procedures that were NOT done for someone my age [without past incidents.] She understood my concerns about previous mammogram and bone density results and provided referrals for screenings. I felt comfortable speaking with her.

She was very attentive, as always.
Dr. Brown was wonderful - I had to establish new care as my long time OB/GYN retired this year and after seeing Dr. Brown I felt 100 percent confident that I was at the right place with the right Doctor. She was truly excellent!
Dr Brown has been amazing throughout my pregnancy. I love that she stopped into visit me even though she didn't deliver my baby. Dr Sinay who did my delivery was also great - very encouraging when I pushed.
