About Katie Akers, APN, FNP-C

Philosophy of Care

My goal of practice is to deliver evidence-based care while facilitating a sense of comfort, confidence, and satisfaction within every patient. I believe any treatment plan can only be effective if it is understood by, and acceptable to, the patient. My hope is to make patients feel comfortable discussing what may be personal, sensitive topics which can heavily impact quality of life. With all of the above in mind, I hope that a strong relationship can be established and maintained.

The NP was very nice and helpful. She never made me feel like she was rushed and gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions.
