ABOUT ME

I’m Samareea Saunders—pronounced Sa-mary-ah—and I’m a dedicated nurse practitioner passionate about providing primary care to individuals and families at every stage of life. My journey in healthcare began with a bachelor’s degree in biology from SUNY Old Westbury in New York. I then worked as a medical scribe at CityMD, one of the busiest urgent care centers in New York City. That experience taught me the importance of efficient time management and minimizing patient wait times, all while ensuring safety and quality of care in a fast-paced environment. Driven by my passion for patient-centered care, I went on to earn an accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Roseman University in Salt Lake City, Utah. I later returned to my alma mater to complete my Master of Science degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I’m proud to be nationally certified through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) and remain committed to continuous learning and excellence in my field.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF WORK
WHAT WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT PROVIDER?
I’m known for taking a compassionate approach and maintaining a strong focus on my patients’ well-being, with an emphasis on education and understanding. I believe in empowering each patient by helping them understand why a medication is prescribed, the importance of following their treatment plan, and the potential risks of stopping medication without guidance. I’m excited to be part of the Optima Medical family and look forward to providing exceptional care to both new and existing patients.
