Meet Debra Zimmer
Family Nurse Practitioner
With over 20 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I bring a wealth of knowledge from both office settings and the Emergency Department. Before this, I worked as an RN in hospice and home health, providing compassionate care to those in need.
I believe in a holistic approach to health, empowering my patients with the education they need to make informed choices about their treatment. My goal is to help you achieve your best health. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, as well as managing weight loss, diabetes, hypertension, and acute illnesses like sinus infections, migraines, and flu. Together, we can navigate your health journey towards wellness.
