Amanda feels it's critical to have open communication with her patients and to build long-lasting, trusting provider-patient relationships. Prior to joining USMD in 2017, she spent more than seven years as an RN in labor and delivery and women's health. Her passion for disease prevention and desire to educate the community about wellness motivated her to become a nurse practitioner. Amanda enjoys spending free time with her husband and three children. They love being outdoors, staying active and traveling.
