Exciting news! We are honored to welcome Dr. Melvin to our team as the newest OBGYN to our practice!

Dr. Erin Melvin will be joining Spokane OBGYN in September 2025. A proud Washington native, she was born and raised in Ephrata. She completed her undergraduate studies at Washington State University. After being inspired by her anatomy course there she then went on to earn a M.S. degree in anatomy from Tulane University School of Medicine before attending the University of Washington School of Medicine.

She recently completed her OB/GYN residency at Rochester Regional Health in New York, and served as a Chief Resident. While there she was heavily influenced by the midwifery model of care and is committed to supporting her obstetric patients through informed, empowering birth experiences.

Her clinical interests include fertility, high-risk obstetrics, and minimally invasive robotic surgery.

She will be moving back with her husband Bryon, who was born and raised in Spokane, along with their two boys and chocolate lab named Jack.

We are excited to share the news with you - we are moving our downtown Spokane office from Outpatient Providence Health Center to a new building 1 block up the road! Pictures to come once the build is complete!

Where will we be moving? We will be located at 110 W Cliff Drive Suite 420. It is 1 block south of the parking garage , behind the Park Inn aka PI, in the Labcorp building.

Benefits? FREE PARKING- much easier access parking, driving and navigating within the building. There will be no change to our Valley operations and we still will be operating and delivering out of Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and an Ambulatory Surgery Center.

When does this happen? August 5th
How will you know? When you get your appointment reminders we will update our location on there when we move if you provided us an updated phone number!

Happy National Women’s Physician Day! We appreciate our community, as our holder for this account I love being alongside our strong and amazing President, Dr Dominique Grant, and my partner (and best friend outside of work too) Dr Alison Spaniol. It is amazing to have their experience along with our male counterparts to draw on, be with and learn from.

We at the office appreciate you so much - Liz Newell
