Melissa Bassett

Nurse Practitioner

Health is a vital part of life, and for Functional Medicine nurse practitioner Melissa Bassett, it is the focus of her work. She believes that health is more than just the absence of illness; it is about vitality, joyful and meaningful relationships, beauty, peace, and flourishing in life. Each person’s definition of health is unique, so Ms. Bassett takes a comprehensive approach to helping her patients achieve their goals.

She looks at each body system and considers how each system affects the whole person as she seeks the root cause of the problem. This approach, called Functional Medicine, has been a staple of her practice since 2007.

With 15 years experience in Family Medicine, and most of that time practicing functional medicine, Ms. Bassett is a valuable addition to the team at The Center. She completed her undergraduate and masters of Nurse Practitioner degrees at Brigham Young University. She can treat the whole family with a functional lense and has special interests in treating children and in women’s health. In 2011, she began offering aesthetics services in addition to her traditional medical treatments, as she believes that beauty can enhance healing in a very meaningful way. Ms. Bassett is married to a native Houstonian and they have three beautiful children and two adorable Basset hounds.

Dr. Grose retired in February, 2022. We are deeply grateful to her for pioneering Functional Medicine in Houston in the early 1980’s as a lone wolf when the path was not clear. She has transformed the lives of so many patients in our community and paved the way for a new era of Functional Medicine providers like Dr. Rowley and Ms. Bassett. We love you Dr. Grose!
