Jennifer Nesbitt, MD - Medical Care

When I was 19 years old, I endured the loss of my mother due to cancer. The care she received from the nurses, doctors and nurse practitioners led me to become a nurse practitioner. I vowed to provide the same exemplary care to my patients as she was shown during that time. I like to abide by the patient and family-centered approach to patient care. I believe providing patients and families with the information they need to make educated decisions will lead to more favorable outcomes. There are many disease processes managed in primary care that can be difficult to understand. Preventive care, diabetes, hypertension and heart failure can all seem daunting diagnoses. I am passionate in educating patients, ensuring clear communication and hold myself partially accountable for their outcome. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and stepson. I particularly enjoy reading and being at the lake with my family.
