Melissa Younger

Dr. Younger is a Minnesota native who moved to Gillette to be able to provide professional eye care to our community. Dr. Younger moved her family here to WY to enjoy the beautiful mountains and outdoors.

Dr. Melissa Younger joined the practice in July 2016. Dr. Younger is originally from the plains in the Midwest of Minnesota. She is very excited to be in Wyoming, closer to the mountains.

She attended undergraduate school at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. She then moved to Oregon for optometry school at Pacific University College of Optometry, where she met Drs. Ashlee and Joe Fischer.

After graduating with distinction from optometry school, she moved to southwestern Minnesota, where she practiced primary care optometry for the hospital.

Dr. Younger is delighted to serve the Gillette community. She is passionate about providing quality eye care for all ages. When she is not in the office, you may run into her hiking or backpacking with her family in the Bighorns.
