Melissa Karaffa, APRN-CNP

“I’ve been seeing Melissa Karraffa for several years now and I truly value having her as a mental health dr for more reasons than just mental health, even though she is one of the best mental health physicians ive ever met. We always go thru all my issues making sure my needs are under control. But this lady has went above and beyond in so many ways helping me. She has referred me to a couple specialist physicians when I was sick and needed help. Also helping me find a new MD so I could get all my conditions under control too. Ive never felt nervous talking to her, she always had had a nonjudgmental attitude and listens to everything i say and does her best to help in anyway she can. She cares and thats one awesome rarity you never see anymore. I am truly grateful I ended up on her patient list!”

“Melissa is a wonderful provider. She really cares about her patients and takes the time to listen and work with them for the most beneficial treatment plan. Melissa is so calming and easy to talk to, we love her and Nurse Lisa! 🥰”

“SSM HEALTH ST MARY'S HOSPITAL CENTRALIA ILLINOIS is the greatest, along with Melissa Karaffa NP and the IOP program”

“Melissa is a very sweet, comforting, understanding & helpful NP person who has helped me in so many ways. I’m very thankful that I am a patient of hers. She gets to know her patients better than any Dr I’ve had and and also understands me better than any other too! I’m very grateful for her and her understanding self. She’s perfect for her profession!”
