Jessica B Sessoms, MD - Tricity Family Medicine-Urgent

I became an advance practice provider because I wanted to feel like I had a job with purpose, where I could make a difference in people's lives. I believe in patient-centered care with an emphasis on empathy at the heart of my standards and want the patient to feel like a person, not a number. When I am not at work, I like to spend time with my family to do fun things with my kids.

I decided to pursue a career as a Nurse Practitioner so that I could build lasting, collaborative relationships with women and help them on their health journeys. I try each day to bring compassion and evidence-based medicine into each encounter with each person. I’m certified by The Menopause Society and partner with women through perimenopause/menopause years to address those concerns, including evidence-based hormone replacement therapy. My philosophy of care is to meet my patients where they are in life and to take health and healthy changes one step at a time. Outside of work, I like to read, paint, crochet, sing in choir, play with my children, go on dates with my husband, watch Netflix and eat good food. I am also active in my church community and PTA.
