Dr. Melissa Miskell, Founder

OUR TEAM

Our founder, Dr. Melissa Miskell, has owned a medical practice for over 20 years. During her time in practice, she saw how the symptoms of menopause and peri-menopause negatively effected the quality of life for multitudes of women. So she decided to do something about it…without using harmful prescriptions like Premarin and Provera. The other problem she set about tackling was that laboratory testing for hormone imbalance was very expensive. She created Hormones by Design. Here we can draw your labs, treat you, and get you back to your busy life! All this at an affordable price.

Patricia “Pat” Berg, APRN, WHNP-BC – Waco


Pat has been a Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner for 35 years.  She is a Waco native, however military life, education, and career have kept her away from Waco in past. Despite that, she has been able to find her way back to family, friends, and Central Texas for the last 30+ years.

She has previous Emergency Room and OB/GYN experience but has found that her true niche is anything that helps to empower and improve women’s lives and health.  She understands that hormone replacement is a big part of that.

In her spare time, Pat loves anything to do with home improvement.  Although she is not a Baylor graduate; you will most likely find her at a Baylor sporting event or somewhere watching and supporting.  Between Baylor athletic seasons, she will most likely be planning a getaway involving water.
