Chad Parsons, MSN, APRN, FNP-C
Chad Parsons is a certified nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine at The Family Clinic, LLC in White Bear Lake. He treats patients of every age, from infants to older adults, with particular interest in pediatrics, asthma, sports medicine, diabetes, hypertension, dermatology, men's and women's health, and weight loss.
Before training as a nurse practitioner, he worked in youth outreach, group homes, and as a critical care registered nurse, always drawn to helping people with both social and physical needs. That path led him to pursue the same kind of care as a medical provider, and he still finds meaning in the variety of the work, from teaching about health to managing complicated cases. Taking time to listen, he has learned, reveals not just the direction of someone's care but the richness of their life.
His Christian faith, his family, time outdoors, martial arts, and a love of ancient literature round out life outside the clinic.
