The people
behind your care.

With nearly 30 years of clinical experience, Michelle Ederer, DMSc, PA-C, brings a depth and breadth of medical expertise to SkanWell that reflects a career dedicated to caring for patients across every stage of life.

Michelle earned her Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) from the University of Lynchburg and completed her Physician Associate education at Yale University School of Medicine. She also holds a Master of Arts in Pathology/Experimental Pathology and a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, both from the University at Buffalo.

Over the course of her career, Michelle has practiced in family medicine, pediatrics, urgent care, and emergency medicine, providing a strong clinical foundation for SkanWell’s comprehensive and individualized approach to health and vitality.

She is certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and holds an NCCPA Certificate of Added Qualifications (CAQ) in Pediatrics. Her advanced professional training includes certification through The Menopause Society and The Obesity Society, as well as Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

Michelle has also completed advanced training in medical aesthetics and energy-based device treatments, including neuromodulator injectables and dermal fillers, as well as extensive certification and clinical training in laser-based technologies and microneedling procedures.

At SkanWell, Michelle combines decades of medical experience with evidence-based approaches to menopause and midlife health, weight management, metabolic health, preventive care, and medical aesthetics. Inspired by a Scandinavian approach to health and vitality, her philosophy emphasizes balance, simplicity, prevention, and sustainable well-being, with thoughtful, individualized care designed to help patients feel well, function well, and maintain their health and confidence through every stage of life.

Her goal in creating SkanWell is simple: to provide patients with the time, clinical expertise, education, and individualized attention they need to make informed decisions about their health and feel their best at every stage of life.

With 18 years of nursing experience, Alexandra “Lexi” Coville, BSN, RN, brings a broad background in health and wellness, patient care, and clinical operations to SkanWell. Her experience spans care for patients from birth through adulthood and has shaped a philosophy centered on helping people feel better, live healthier, and approach their long-term health with greater confidence.

At SkanWell, Lexi serves as Director of Patient Experience, helping shape the way patients experience the practice from their first interaction through treatment, follow-up, and ongoing care. Her nursing background allows her to understand both the clinical side of care and the questions, concerns, and expectations patients bring with them. Her goal is to help create an environment where patients feel heard, informed, comfortable, and supported.

Lexi has completed advanced training in energy-based technologies and injectables and has a strong interest in the connection between wellness, skin health, aesthetics, and overall vitality. She is particularly passionate about hormonal health and the meaningful changes that appropriate, medically guided care can make in the lives of both women and men.

Her philosophy is straightforward: feel good first, look good second.

For Lexi, aesthetics are one part of a much larger picture. She believes that helping people improve their health, energy, confidence, and quality of life should come before simply changing how they look. Her broader goal is to help patients pursue longer, healthier, and happier lives through thoughtful care, education, prevention, and sustainable lifestyle choices.

Lexi’s interest in health began well before her nursing career. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science/Kinesiology from SUNY Cortland before earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Utica University. She is also completing her MBA at Syracuse University, bringing together her clinical background with an expanding understanding of business, leadership, and healthcare operations.

Originally from New York’s Hudson Valley, Lexi has called Central New York home since graduating from SUNY Cortland.

Outside of SkanWell, Lexi is the mother of four boys and is rarely standing still. When she is not working, she can usually be found working out, coaching one of her boys, cheering from the sidelines, or serving as the family’s unofficial Uber driver.
