MELISSA FORE

Dr. Melissa Fore is an Internal Medicine physician who founded her Direct Primary Care practice, Advocate Primary Care, to provide personalized, relationship‑focused care. She emphasizes direct communication, telehealth visits, and house calls, allowing patients to receive timely, comprehensive primary care without the constraints of insurance bureaucracy. Dr. Fore believes in listening closely, explaining thoroughly, and delivering preventive care that empowers patients to lead healthier lives.

After completing her residency at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, she spent five years in primary care at Mercy Clinic in Sunset Hills, where she honed her skills in managing adult health across a wide spectrum of conditions. In 2021 she began offering telehealth and house calls through MyCatholicDoctor, and in early 2022 partnered with Dr. Glenn Fox to launch her own DPC practice, continuing her commitment to patient‑centered, accessible care.
