Melissa Gray
Dr. Melissa Gray is originally from a small town in Tuscaloosa County. She graduated from Tuscaloosa County High School and received her first bachelor’s degree in Communications from the University of Alabama. She majored in Journalism and spent the bulk of her career at The Tuscaloosa News, where she held multiple positions, from health reporter to business editor. In her 30s, she realized she was not fulfilled in her career and returned to her initial passion of medicine. With two young girls at the time—and with the tremendous help of her parents—she was able to return to the University of Alabama, ultimately obtaining her medical degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her children now have children of their own. She has five grandchildren and when she isn’t able to love on them, she has Mischa and Benji at home, her Russian Blue cat and Morkie. She is a family physician who loves taking care of her patients.
