Nicole Fernandes, NP
Oakland
Nurse Practitioner, an advanced practice degree for primary care providers who complete master’s-level training and board certification and who practice medicine independently. Related degrees include ANP (Adult Nurse Practitioner), FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner), WHNP (Women's Health Nurse Practitioner), and APNP (Advance Practice Nurse Practitioner).
I believe the relationship between patient and provider is special, based on empathic listening, open communication, and trust. I strive to best understand each of my patients' unique challenges and goals so that together we can partner to achieve their optimal health.
How I stay healthy and happy
In my spare time, I love to travel to experience new destinations/cultures, explore local hiking trails, experiment with unique recipes in the kitchen, and spend time with my family!
