About Caroline M. Melrose

Carrie has been working in orthopedics for over 10 years, first as an Athletic Trainer and currently as a surgical Physician Assistant. She attended PA school at Pacific University in Oregon and relocated to the Inland Northwest after graduation to start her PA career. She works closely with Dr. Chad Turner, treating patients both in clinic and in the operating room for a variety of upper extremity conditions. Her favorite part about her role is being able to follow a patient from the time of injury through their recovery journey, providing support every step of the way. She greatly enjoys the variety of conditions she gets to treat and loves that no two days are the same!
