Michele Vallee, APRN has over a decade of experience in hospital, school and community settings caring for patients. After listening to thousands of patients’ concerns, the growing need for additional access to health care became increasingly clear. More patients were spending many hours in the emergency room to receive basic health care. ER visits were not only costly and time consuming but often described as impersonal. Realizing that patients were frustrated with the lack of health care options available Michele Vallee was motivated to make a difference and started Advance Telemedicine. “We understand that health concerns can arise at a moment’s notice. Especially on nights and weekends, making an appointment to see a primary care provider may be difficult and an emergency room visit may not be necessary. That is why we provide flexible hours for patients while providing the same quality of care at an affordable price,” says Michele Vallee, APRN.

Valessa Mesidor, NP-C, is a skilled nurse practitioner at Nova Wellness Health in Wantagh, New York. 

She completed her bachelor's degree at Molloy University and received her Master of Science in Nursing at the same university, specializing in Family Health. Valessa has eight years of experience in emergency medicine as a registered nurse, including critical care and psychiatry. 

Valessa says, "Now that I am a nurse practitioner in family health, I know that primary care has a lot of different parts that can be hard to tell apart." People have different hopes for their relationships with their healthcare providers. Some want to see their provider when sick, while others hope to become close with them. If you need to know what you need from your primary care provider, ask yourself what you want to get out of your health care.

Valessa wants to build personal relationships with her patients; therefore, she is always available and eager to lend a hand. Her patients deserve nothing less than the best possible treatment, and that's what Nova Wellness Health is all about.
