Biography

Melissa Pendergraft, NP, strives to help her patients become as healthy as possible, given their current health status. Arthritis, heart disease and obesity are some of her clinical interests and passions.

NP Pendergraft was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas, and earned her Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Working as a registered nurse in an intensive care unit, she saw the same patients repeatedly in crisis. Desiring to keep patients out of crisis and out of the hospital, she became an NP to increase her knowledge of patient care and gain more independence as a practitioner.

Hearing positive patient feedback about how their treatments helped is NP Pendergraft’s favorite aspect of serving as an NP. She currently lives in New Braunfels, Texas. Reading, hiking and traveling are her favorite activities outside of caring for patients.
