FAQs
A Message from Elizabeth Keller, Family Nurse Practitioner
I spent my formative years in a quaint town close to Yosemite, near Sonora, CA, with my two sisters - I being the middle child. Growing up, we were fortunate to have had the opportunity to engage in numerous outdoor activities together. In 2006, my younger sister and I relocated to SLO, where we currently reside, primarily because of our love for the ocean. During my days off, I relish the opportunity to bond with my 7-year-old daughter while indulging in outdoor activities, exploring new places and traveling. Although she is partial to shopping at the moment, my ultimate objective is to instill in her the same love for nature as I have. This summer, we plan to hone our stand-up paddle boarding skills.
As a Family Nurse Practitioner with over five years of experience, I have worked in various capacities, including primary care, employee/occupational health, and urgent care. The most fulfilling part of my job is the ability to promote wellness and educate my patients, enabling them to achieve optimal health. I take great pride in getting to know my patients and providing them with the best possible care. As I return to work with my patients here, I am excited about the opportunity to reconnect with them and continue to make a difference in their lives.
