We’re Listening

Ever feel like talking to your medical provider is like talking to a brick wall? Or even worse, that the medical provider tells you that “your labs are normal” and then tells you to just lose weight or get more sleep?

Like that’s easy?

At First Choice we understand what you’re up against, because we’ve been there too. 

That’s why we listen to you, relate to your struggles, and reassure you that you’re not crazy. Midlife can be overwhelming, but we’re here to help you feel like yourself again.

Here’s How We Do It

ANGIE WHITLEY, APRN, FNP-C

Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

When you sit down with Angie Whitley, you’ll feel it right away: she genuinely wants to understand what you’re going through. With more than 24 years in nursing, she’s cared for patients in many stages of life, and she knows that you’re not just looking for answers…you want someone who listens and helps you feel like yourself again.

As a family nurse practitioner, Angie focuses on the issues so many adults struggle with, like low energy, hormonal changes, weight challenges, and the sense that something is “off.” She uses a practical, whole-person approach to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms and uses tools like hormone optimization, medical weight support, and wellness-based therapies to create a plan that fits your life. 

Outside the clinic, you’ll find her with her family, enjoying time at the lake or beach, or relaxing with her dogs, Belle and Duke. She loves being outdoors, traveling, and getting lost in a good book.

Angie’s goal is simple: to help you get back to a life where you feel clearer, stronger, and more like you.
