My Approach to Care

Growing up, I always wanted to be in medicine. I find it very rewarding to help others and have a passion for providing high quality, compassionate health care to my patients. Communication is key, which is why I focus on being an active listener to truly understand your situation and needs.

I strive to build a lasting relationship with my patients and provide the most up-to-date care in a thorough and professional manner. I believe in education and empowering my patients to be involved in their health care. This includes ensuring patients understand their medical condition, know the steps to stay healthy and are involved in decision making. I pride myself on having the kind of relationship where we can discuss anything.

I treat every patient as if they were my own family – whether that is helping them remain healthy or treating health problems and illnesses. I help people because I CARE and look forward to providing that for you and your family.

My special interests include:

  • Pediatrics and women's health – I love that it is multigenerational and includes continuity of care from beginning to end of life
  • Comprehensive health consultations to determine the overall health condition of my patients
  • Preventative care – I believe strongly in this and enjoy helping people maintain a healthy lifestyle, providing wellness physicals, and taking the time to visit with each patient
  • Medical procedures including joint injections, wound care, fracture and laceration care, toenail removal, lesion removal and IUD placement
  • Medical examinations for DOT and CDL as a certified medical examiner on the FMCSA registry

I perform examinations, diagnose and treat health conditions, order and interpret test results, develop and manage treatment plans, and prescribe medications for all of your health care needs.

I graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where I obtained a bachelor's degree in biology and psychology. I earned my master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies in 2000 from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. Before joining Family Medicine of Lincoln, I practiced in a rural family practice clinic and hospital.

August 06, 2024
I believe I will make my appointment in the morning. Although this last appointment was at 11:15. An hour and a half later provider arrived. She did explain the reason. It was just frustrating not to have someone come explain. I even stood in the hall in my gown hoping to see someone to ask about the situation. I'm happy otherwise of my provider, just has happened other times too.
August 02, 2024
The staff and Melissa and Ariel were so kind to my daughter. Anytime she has a problem, she says she needs to go to the doctor because she can fix it! We love and appreciate Melissa and Ariel very much!

Melissa Tompkins PA is so wonderful. She saved my life by finding my pancreatic cancer, early with her diligent testing and referrals she made. Her and her nurse Ariel truly care about me and our family. I always want her to oversee my care and consult her with all my treatments.

I completely trust my health journey to Melissa. She does an amazing job of listening to the patient and taking the time to answer any questions and concerns. Unlike some providers, she listens and appears to genuinely care about her patients.
May 03, 2024
After being asked to come in, I have hour early for my appointment. I had to wait an extra hour and 45 minutes before I actually saw the provider that was very difficult for me.
May 03, 2024
I like to be seen close to appointment time & not wait 30 min
April 30, 2024
Melissa always makes me feel seen and heard. I never feel rushed or ignored when in her care.
April 29, 2024
Friendly staff, nurse was great and PA is top notch. Phlebotomist-took 2 tries which was the worst part of my visit plus she sniffed the entire time
April 29, 2024
This provider devoted the time to understand my issues and provided very good professional responses.
April 23, 2024
I was not happy with the receptionist who took my appointment; he tried to push me toward an eye doctor because he had had a similar condition; I told him that it wasn't an "eye" issue; he finally conceded and gave me an appointment. It turned out to be a cyst on my eyelid and not an "eye" issue at all! I was put off by his pushiness, because patients can't get by the receptionists to see doctors, and they often wield a certain "power" over people needing to set up an appointment.
April 18, 2024
Melissa Tompkins was thorough, took time with me to come up with a health plan and explained everything well.
April 15, 2024
Just the wait time. 15 mins prior to appt. Then waited 20mins after my appt time. After base stats waited 30m for provider come in
April 12, 2024
Had great visit with my provider about my health.
April 02, 2024
I would not want to see anybody else. She is the best provider and we click really well. She's very personable and pays attention to what is going on and what has been going on and what needs to happen. I would not see anybody else.
April 01, 2024
Felt really comfortable with Melissa.
March 29, 2024
Love Melissa! She is always so kind, warm and down to earth. Takes her time, I never feel rushed. I feel cared for, listened to and understood. I drive 45 minutes from my hometown just to see her! I didn't catch the nurses name this visit, but she was just as lovely. So very friendly.
March 19, 2024
The whole office is a great team I feel good in their care.

March 05, 2024
Very good visit with Melissa Tompkins, I called in the morning and got in the same day, even though I could not get into my doctor Dresbach, but I have seen Melissa before she's excellent as well. She is very thorough and explains things well, her assistant, Ariel is very good at what she does too!
February 26, 2024
My provider always listens to my concerns and addresses them in a caring manner.
February 08, 2024
I was seen by Dr Fitzgerald's NP Melissa. She was excellent!
February 06, 2024
We had to wait almost 25 minutes to see her. Our appointment was at 2:45 and I don't think we got back there until after 3. But she was very personable, very relatable, and very understanding.
January 31, 2024
This is the first time l met Melissa Tompkins. She was extremely friendly, understanding and listened to my concerns. She asked appropriate questions about my symptoms. I didn't expect her to know my health history since l was seeing her for cold symptoms. Once the test results came back (Covid positive), she did a very thorough job of explaining what to expect over the course of my illness, quarantine/masking recommendations, and how best to care for myself. Melissa asked what questions l had and she answered them to my satisfaction. My regular doctor is Dr Heckman but l would not hesitate to see Melissa again if Dr Heckman was not available.
January 25, 2024
Love Melissa! She listens and cares about the little problems I bring to her.
January 15, 2024
I trust her with all aspects of my health. She is easy to talk to and that is very important to me as a patient. And she never makes you feel like she is in a hurry to be at to the next patient.
January 05, 2024
I was very ill and she took time to explain everything to me and to get me help.
January 03, 2024
Melissa Tompkins is great! She is very thorough and personable. She spends as much time as needed to address your concerns and ensure all of your questions are answered and your treatment/options are explained and understood. I highly recommend her and happy I found the right provider for me.
