About

Melissa Hart, OTR/L, specializes in occupational therapy at MercyOne Riverside Rehabilitation. 

Melissa's philosophy of care centers on providing personalized care for each child and their family. 


"I enjoy all areas of pediatric occupational therapy at MercyOne Riverside Rehabilitation. Being a part of a trusted network of experts gives me the resources to help patients achieve new milestones. I love seeing the children who work with us grow and learn new skills. It is rewarding to see the joy on their and their parents' faces. A child's laughter is contagious. I am blessed to hear it over and over throughout my day. 

I grew up in Illinois. I moved to Iowa to attend college at St. Ambrose University in Davenport where I obtained my undergraduate degree in psychology along with my Master's of Occupational Therapy. 

Outside of work my husband and our two daughters enjoy spending time playing games, reading books, and being outside."
