Patient Care Philosophy:

Dr. Frantz is a nurse practitioner who values the core guiding principles of the nursing profession. In clinical practice, Dr. Frantz harnesses the traditional philosophies of nursing, guiding her to foster relationships and provide holistic, person-centered care and healing. She believes in health equity for all patients. Consequently, she now offers video visits exclusively, breaking down barriers in access to high-quality urgent care and routine follow-up needs. She is equally passionate about the future of nursing, educating the next generation of nurse practitioners.
