After completing residency in anatomic and clinical pathology and a fellowship in dermatopathology, Dr. Messina was a member of the faculty at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine in Tampa from 1994-2013, where she was Professor of Pathology and Dermatology. She is currently Senior Member in the Departments of Anatomic Pathology and Cutaneous Oncology at Moffitt Cancer Center. Her passions include teaching and mentoring of pathology and dermatology residents, as well as the dermatopathology fellow, and running a busy diagnostic service with over 1,500 new melanoma patients annually. She has been director of the dermatopathology fellowship at USF since 2011. Dr. Messina's research interests include pathology of the sentinel node, biomarkers of prognosis in cutaneous melanoma, and etiology and treatment of Merkel cell carcinoma. Dr. Messina has published over 150 papers in peer-reviewed journals. Her research covers pathologic evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes, special applications of sentinel lymphadenectomy, and molecular studies of spectrum of melanocytic neoplasia. Dr. Messina completed her MD at the University of South Florida College of Medicine and a Bachelor of Arts in Molecular Biology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Patient Comments
Overall Satisfaction

0 patients rated this provider

The Provider Rating is an average of all responses to specific care provider-related questions from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. These surveys assess the experience of our patients when visiting us for an Outpatient Clinic, Urgent Care or Virtual Health (Telemedicine) visit. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.

Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.

Comments ()

Comments are gathered from specific care provider-related questions from our Patient Satisfaction Survey . The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

We post both positive and negative comments from the surveys. We do not post comments that are libelous, slanderous, profane, irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate or may risk the privacy of our patients. A “[…]” in the comments below indicates de-identified patient information or comments that are unrelated to the patient’s experience with the visit to the provider, such as comments related to another provider, about the survey itself, or otherwise completely off-topic.

Not all providers will have a star rating or comments. In order to ensure accuracy of our ratings, we only display ratings for providers who have a minimum of 30 completed from the previous 12 months.

Learn more about our patient comments

Provider Ratings and comments are gathered from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. If a provider does not have ratings or comments listed it can be for several reasons, including:

  • The provider has not yet received the minimum number of patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display. We require a minimum of 30 surveys before we post results to ensure that the rating is statistically reliable and a true reflection of patient satisfaction.
  • He or she may be a researcher or other type of provider that does not see patients.
  • The provider practices in a specialty or office that does not use the specified surveys currently used for these ratings.
