Meet the Founder & Medical Director

Dr. Melissa Lee-Agawa

Dr. Melissa Lee-Agawa founded Grace & Glow MD with a clear mission: to give women the kind of care she wished more of them received. As a board-certified OB/GYN, she saw how often concerns like bladder control, sexual discomfort, and body confidence were brushed aside or treated as afterthoughts.

​She knew women deserved better. So she expanded her training beyond traditional medicine, combining surgical expertise with advanced education in medical aesthetics and intimate wellness. The result is a physician-led practice that treats the full person.

​At Grace & Glow MD, Dr. Lee-Agawa creates personalized, medically grounded plans that help patients feel strong, confident, and fully themselves. Her approach is rooted in science, shaped by compassion, and focused on helping women thrive through every season of life.

Founder’s Why

Built for Women, by a Woman Who Understands

Dr. Melissa’s path started with a passion for medicine and women’s health, refined through her training as an OB/GYN. Her desire to care for women holistically, not just from a reproductive lens, shaped her clinical approach early on. Over time, her practice evolved to consider how physical health, sexual wellness, and aesthetics intersect.

Dr. Melissa repeatedly saw how women’s concerns, especially around intimacy, aging, or bladder control, were dismissed or minimized in traditional medical settings. She wanted to create a space where women felt heard and had access to effective, modern treatments beyond surgery or medication. Grace & Glow MD was her answer to that gap.

Compassion, integrity, personalization, and evidence-based care. Every patient interaction is meant to feel validating and safe. She believes in treating the root cause rather than masking symptoms, and always honors what the patient wants for their own body.

Her OB/GYN expertise is unmatched in this space, she brings deep anatomical knowledge and surgical training, layered with additional certifications in aesthetics and intimate wellness. Her ability to connect the dots between medical, emotional, and aesthetic health gives her a unique advantage.

Warm, professional, and empowering. It’s a clean and medically credible space, but never cold or clinical. From the physical layout to the language used in consultations, the environment is crafted to make patients feel safe, respected, and prioritized.

The emotional shifts are often more powerful than the physical. Whether it’s a woman laughing again without fear of leaking, regaining sexual confidence, or feeling radiant after a treatment, these moments are about reclaiming identity and joy. It’s about transformation from the inside out.

Consultations are deeply educational and personalized. Dr. Melissa walks patients through what’s happening in their body, what each treatment does, and why it might (or might not) be a fit. Post-treatment care, ongoing check-ins, and helpful resources are all part of the wraparound support model.

Unlike many med spas run by aestheticians or non-physicians, Grace & Glow MD is physician-led with a foundation in OB/GYN care. That means better safety, better results, and a deeper understanding of what women’s bodies actually need, plus a true commitment to patient-centered care.

Grace & Glow MD will grow its offerings, deepen local collaborations, and expand its impact, perhaps to other locations. But the heart of the brand will stay the same: focused, intentional care for every woman who walks through the door.
