Elizabeth Atchason, FNP
Expert in Women’s Health
We are thrilled to have Elizabeth and her expertise as part of our team at Johnson Medical Associates. In addition to her work with our patients, she has previously been a registered nurse for 16 years and a nurse practitioner for 12 years.
Currently, she is a family nurse practitioner, who specializes in women’s health and has extensive training in bio identical hormone replacement therapy, specializing in natural hormone replacement. She also has experience in using nutritional supplements and diet changes in the treatment of medical conditions, and has completed continuing education in an integrative approach to hypothyroidism and adrenal fatigue.
Her personal experience healing from hormone imbalances and mold toxicity has helped her further understand patients dealing with severe illnesses or chronic medical conditions. With those medical conditions, she greatly benefited from implementing a healthy lifestyle by adding certain healthy supplements, and going through hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Through this, she was able to heal and better understand the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. With all of this first-hand experience, she is excited to be a part of a practice where she knows she can make difference in helping patients with certain specialized medical needs.
