View All PlansAbout Melissa Walther, MD
Melissa Aukerman Walther, MD, knows what it means to be an advocate for patient health and well-being. The daughter of a family physician in rural western Ohio, Dr. Walther witnessed her father’s passion and tireless commitment as the only physician for many towns in the region. This foundation instilled in her a desire to continue his legacy of excellence and innovation in primary care.
After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree cum laude from Duke University, Dr. Walther attended Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, where she earned a medical degree with distinction and was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. She then completed her family medicine residency at University of Washington affiliate Providence Early in her career, Dr. Walther was in a group practice in Seattle, but after moving to Fort Wayne, Indiana, she pursued her passion for caring for the underserved, staffing community health centers and free clinics. Even after returning to a multispecialty group practice, she continued to volunteer with a healthcare center providing free care for low-income adults.
Most recently, Dr. Walther was a family physician with Parkview Physicians Group in Fort Wayne, an organization with nearly 900 providers serving northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio. One of the group’s highest rated physicians, she consistently achieved outstanding scores in quality and patient satisfaction and received Parkview Foundation’s Guardian Angel award (2019) for service excellence. She also served as a trusted caregiver for many of her fellow physicians.
With 25 years of experience providing exceptional patient care, Dr. Walther moved to Florida’s Treasure Coast in 2021 to join Cleveland Clinic Indian River Concierge Medicine. As her three adult children pursue careers of their own, she is thrilled to be near family who have been part of the Jensen Beach community for 80 years.
Dr. Walther is deeply invested in delivering patient-centered care and sees concierge medicine as a return to the personal, comprehensive and responsive care of her father’s practice. She is highly experienced in managing the care of older, medically complex patients who require enhanced specialty care coordination. As an avid marathon runner and Ironman triathlete, she also has a special interest in caring for athletes throughout their lives.

Industry Relationships
Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients.
