Mohamed T. Jasser, DO, MS, MPH

The best part of my job is helping people with complicated pregnancies have a safe delivery. I'm fascinated by the incredible changes that happen in a person's body during pregnancy. Every person's pregnancy journey is different, depending on their unique health concerns and what's important to them. I work with patients and their families to create a plan that supports them and ensures a safe and happy delivery. The most important thing to me is making sure both the mom and the baby are healthy. It is an honor for me to help patients and their families through both the happy and tough times that come with pregnancy. It's also very important to me that pregnant people get care that respects their beliefs and what matters to their family.

My clinical practice focuses on caring for pregnant and postpartum individuals with psychiatric illnesses, including substance use disorders. About one in five women experiences a mental illness during pregnancy or after giving birth. Many do not receive appropriate treatment because they lack access to reliable, evidence-based information about the reproductive safety of psychiatric treatments, including medications. I have many years of experience in this subspecialty, which allows me to support patients during this joyful yet often challenging phase of life. I help them navigate the complex decisions surrounding psychiatric treatment during pregnancy and lactation. I value the opportunity to connect with my patients and to understand their perspectives on their health care. Each person brings their own priorities and goals to the psychiatric treatment relationship, and I approach care with that in mind.

I love learning and developing my skills as a nurse, and I enjoy the challenges that come with this profession. After being a critical care nurse for more than a decade, I decided to pursue post-graduate education. I became a Nurse Practitioner so that I could offer more to my patients. I aspire to help my patients to the best of my knowledge and ability while providing the caring compassion that they deserve. My goal is to help my patients and their families understand their treatment plans and feel they’ve been given the best care possible. I was born and raised in the Philippines and am fluent in both English and Tagalog. I come from a family of nurses, including a maternal grandmother who served as a Director of Nursing in the Philippine Navy during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. My husband and I moved to Lebanon, NH, from Jacksonville, FL, in the Fall of 2019. We enjoy hiking, watching movies, and time with our pets.
