Kayla Underwood, DNP, FNP-BC

Welcome to my practice! I have two years of experience as a Nurse Practitioner and experience in medicine in some way since I was about 20 years old, with the bulk of my background in Emergency Medicine. I am dedicated to empowering patients to make informed health decisions.  My approach is relaxed and caring, ensuring each patient feels heard and supported.

One of my strengths comes from all the years I spent in Emergency Medicine.  It gave me exposure to a variety of illnesses and injuries and experience listening to patients to be able to get to the root cause of the problem.  I really love when a patient comes in sick, feeling bad, or having trouble with something, we develop a treatment plan together, and they return for follow-up smiling and improved.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, including my husband who is a flight paramedic, and our three boys ages 17, 13, and 1. I love to play with our little princess golden doodle, who is the only other girl in the house. I also enjoy quiet time sitting on the patio while savoring my morning coffee and reading. 

I would describe myself as caring, giving, curious, assertive and resourceful.

My greatest professional accomplishment that I'm most proud of is obtaining the degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice from Baylor University

Shhh🤫....I'm a pretty good cook. It's a hidden talent because I hate to do it! 😆

Let's work together on your health journey!
