Chad Parsons, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

I am a certified nurse practitioner specializing in family medicine.

I have professional interests in caring for entire families, pediatrics, asthma, sports medicine, diabetes, hypertension, dermatology, men's health, women's health, obesity/weight loss, functional medicine, and more.

I am passionate about: My Christian Faith, my family, building rich relationships with others, enjoying and exploring nature, studying ancient literature, martial arts, and serving others.

I became a provider because: I have always wanted to help people whether it be with social or physical needs. Through my life, I have worked in youth outreach, in group homes and as a critical care registered nurse.

I decided early on in my nursing career that I wanted to become a nurse practitioner to provide the kind of care that I gave as a nurse while providing care as a medical provider.

One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: Having the great privilege to care for people of all ages from infants to older adults as a family medicine provider.

I enjoy everything from teaching about health to the complexity of managing multiple health issues.

Something I have learned from my patients is: That taking the time to listen gives great insight not only into the direction of care, but also into the richness of each person's life.
