About

Victoria Schwarten MSN, APRN, FNP-c

Welcome to my practice! With over 25 years of diverse experience in healthcare, I am dedicated to providing compassionate and knowledgeable care. My journey began as a certified nurse assistant and has blossomed into my profession as a nurse practitioner. In addition to family primary care,  I am dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by families with children who have special health needs. I am also passionate about peri-menopause, and menopause treatments, BHRT, thyroid health, and the multiple benefits of GLP-1 use.  I understand the complexities of health, education, and achieving meaningful access.  I am here to support you every step of the way. Additionally, I recognize the importance of healthcare access through convenience,  non-pharmacologic treatments, chronic care management, and preventative health. Together, we can explore options to ensure you receive comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs. Your health journey matters, and I'm here to guide you toward better health and wellness.
