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.

This was my yearly visit and a great NP who I loved as well as thr nurse assistant who entered in my info. I didnt feel rushed or dismissed. I didnt feel like she dragged out the appt either. I would totally come in when needed or do a televisit. I love the doctor and recommend him all the time. I love the new NP and the office and will schedule my visits there.
