Enyinnaya, Uchenna H NP

After seven years of taking care of very ill patients in the hospital, I noticed many gaps and barriers to care. I decided to become a nurse practitioner in primary care to help address these needs by focusing on health promotion and disease prevention with a goal of keeping my patients happy, healthy, and home. My philosophy of care is to prevent what we can and treat what we can’t. I am passionate about healthy living, health promotion and disease prevention. But, when illness and disease cannot be avoided, I will partner with you to create a treatment plan that incorporates evidence-based care as well as your individual values and goals. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband, two children, and two dogs. I love traveling (especially on cruises) and listening to fantasy.

I chose to become an advanced practice provider, specifically a family nurse practitioner, because it is a unique privilege to provide care to people across the lifespan. I strive to establish collaborative relationships with my patients so that together we can maximize health and wellness. This includes ensuring access to all screening tests for early detection of disease as well as managing acute and chronic health problems to achieve our shared goal of good health and general well-being. In my free time, I enjoy time with my two dogs, cooking and travel when time allows.
