Monica Strauss
Physician Assistant
Monica received her Bachelor of Science in Community Health from Indiana University and her Master of Medical Science from Mercer University. In addition to treating a variety of skin issues, she has a special interest in the early detection and prevention of skin cancer and prioritizes providing complete and detailed patient-centered care.
Monica loves treating patients of all ages and a broad range of conditions. Seeing someone from infancy all the way to their elderly years gives the chance to build lifelong connections with patients and their families. She also enjoys educating people about the importance of wearing sunscreen on a daily basis, even when it doesn’t look like it’ll be sunny outside (not even just to prevent skin cancer, but also to stay looking young)!
Outside of the practice, Monica is a foodie and loves trying new restaurants. She also enjoys going on long walks, cooking extravagant meals, online shopping, traveling, and spending time with her dog, Bizzy and boyfriend, Nick.
