Sara Whitmore, NP
Brooklyn
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 am a longtime Brooklynite and I chose primary care because it affords me the extraordinary privilege of building meaningful relationships with people to help them stay healthy. I particularly enjoy focusing on depression, anxiety, weight management, LGBTQ health, chronic conditions and women's wellness. I enjoy working with people in their mid-life as they confront changes in their health or strive to maintain good health. I am also adept at helping patients build motivation to change their lifestyles and I pride myself on being an attentive, non-judgmental listener.
I am a parent of two young kids who spend my days off at local playgrounds. I also appreciate any chance to travel to beautiful places or hunker down with a good book.
