For Dr. Melvin, Brodhead Veterinary Medical Center is family. A lifelong connection to the clinic drives his dedication to the community and the animals he serves. With special interests in surgery, spinal manipulation therapy, and nutrition, he brings a well-rounded approach to patient care that combines hands-on expertise with a genuine passion for helping pets thrive. He earned his DVM from Michigan State University in 2006 and became a Certified Veterinary Spinal Manipulation Therapist through Healing Oasis in 2016.
When he’s not at the clinic, Dr. Melvin enjoys spending time with his wife Carla and their two daughters, Madison and Cheyenne. He’s also an avid Star Wars fan, and yes, Grogu has a permanent spot on his desk. At home, he shares his space with Maggie the Golden Doodle and Willie the French Bulldog, who are constantly competing for lap space, along with four cats: Missy, Tippy, Miracle, and Lucky, who all enjoy keeping Willie on his toes. The family also has three horses, which are mostly his wife and daughters’ passion projects.
