That\u2019s why I chose family medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The field of family medicine allows time for meeting with a patient\u201ds family members, which helps in understanding their social interactions and how their family lives shape their well-being. A patient\u2019s well-being is greatly affected by the social network and support system that is their family.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0chose to pursue osteopathic medicine because of my strong interest in physical therapy and my\u00a0desire to help each patient create an environment that allows the body to heal itself by incorporating elements of preventative nutrition, manual therapy, exercise prescription, and medication. I encourage\u00a0patients to take an active role in their health care, and emphasize close communication as the key to building a strong patient-physician relationship. I enjoy\u00a0seeing patients with a variety of medical concerns, but I have a special interest in women\u2019s health, musculoskeletal disorders and diabetes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><br \/>\n<div class=\"togglecontainer   toggle_close_all \" >\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\"  >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-3\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Education\/Certification<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-3-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p style=\"color: #444444;\">Undergraduate: University of California-Davis Bachelors in Nutritional Science<br \/>\nMedical Degree: Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine<br \/>\nResidency: University of Nevada-Reno Department of Family and Community Medicine<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444;\">American Board of Family Practice Board Certified 2003, recertified 2009<\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"av_toggle_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\"  >    <div class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  >        <p data-fake-id=\"#toggle-id-4\" class=\"toggler \"  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Professional Memberships<span class=\"toggle_icon\" >        <span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>        <div id=\"toggle-id-4-container\" class=\"toggle_wrap \"  >            <div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"  itemprop=\"text\"   ><p><span style=\"color: #444444;\">American Academy of Family Physicians<\/span><br style=\"color: #444444;\" \/><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Nevada Academy of Family Physicians<\/span><br style=\"color: #444444;\" \/><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Nevada Sate Medical Association<\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>        <\/div>    <\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_half  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><p><div class='avia-image-container avia_animated_image avia_animate_when_almost_visible pop-up av-styling-circle    avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"ImageObject\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/silversagecenter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Melanie-Perl1-297x300.jpg' alt='' title='Melanie Perl1' height=\"300\"width=\"297\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div style='height:50px' class='hr hr-invisible  '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<article class=\"iconbox iconbox_top main_color    \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"iconbox_content\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\"><div class=\"iconbox_icon heading-color \" aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue809' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  ><\/div><h3 class='iconbox_content_title '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Melanie Perl, MSN, APRN, FNP-C<\/h3><\/header><div class='iconbox_content_container  '  itemprop=\"text\"  ><p>Melanie Perl joined Silver Sage in 2017.
