Nichole Waltz, PA-C

Family medicine allows me to get to know my patients and their families over the course of many years. That's one reason I chose it. In addition, I have a wide variety of clinical interests, and family medicine allows me to pursue them all. \n Those areas include LGBTQIA+ medicine, including gender-affirming care; osteopathic manipulative treatment; sexual health, including PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis - an effective way to prevent HIV/AIDS); HIV management; chronic disease management and women's health, including menopause management. \n As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I'm passionate about serving my community. I hope my patients see my office as a safe space and see me as their fierce advocate. I want every patient of mine to feel listened to and supported. \n During my residency, I began offering gender-affirming care/hormone replacement therapy and am honored when patients trust me to aid them in that medical journey. \n In 2022, I was honored to receive the AAFP Award for Excellence in Graduate Medical Education. \n I grew up in Macungie, Pennsylvania - a town in the Lehigh Valley - and came to North Carolina for college. I earned my undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University. (Go, Deacs!) My dog, Mandy, and I live in Charlotte, and I'm happy to be only a short distance from my family in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. \n My hobbies include trying new restaurants; supporting LGBTQIA+ events, including local drag shows; and traveling. Spain, Portugal and Ecuador are among my best-loved destinations. Swimming is my favorite exercise, and Bravo is my favorite channel. (Reality TV is a guilty pleasure.) I also enjoy country music, pop music from the '80s and Taylor Swift.

Much of my background in medicine involved working with the medically underserved in Birmingham, Alabama. It is my joy to provide excellent medical care - offered with love - to anyone who comes into my clinic, no matter what their walk of life. \n I'm also passionate about women's health. It's important to me to see women being offered options and guidance for their health that allow them to feel empowered to make good decisions for themselves. \n I completed a fellowship in faculty development at the University of Alabama - Birmingham because I want to be part of leading, teaching and empowering the next generation in healthcare. I strive to help develop more caring physicians with excellent interpersonal skills. \n My amazing husband and I have three beautiful children and two rescue animals. We all enjoy the outdoors and experiencing nature. Some of my best memories are of backpacking for a few weeks on the Appalachian Trail.
