Maria Chan, MSN, RN, FNP-C

Maria Chan is a dedicated nurse practitioner specializing in Family Medicine, with over 10 years of experience in primary care. She earned her Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing degrees from Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas. She began her health care career as a Registered Nurse (RN) in the intensive care unit (ICU), where she cared for patients facing complex medical challenges stemming from uncontrolled chronic diseases and delayed preventive screenings.

This firsthand experience profoundly shifted her focus toward family medicine and primary care centered on early identification and prevention of disease, inspiring her to help patients avoid hospitalizations and life-long complications. Her clinical interests are deeply rooted in chronic care management, with a specific focus on treating diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia, as well as providing essential preventive screenings.

She provides a variety of health care services such as comprehensive health assessments, diagnostic testing and rehabilitative services, as well as prescribing treatments, making referrals and managing acute and chronic illness.

Maria is a strong advocate for a holistic, patient-centered approach. She believes in actively informing and involving patients in their health care decisions, offering a range of evidence-based treatment options tailored to fit their unique lifestyles, needs and goals. She takes the time to truly listen to her patients' concerns, ensuring they have a thorough understanding of their care plan and feel entirely comfortable asking questions.

For Maria, the most rewarding part of practicing medicine is knowing she has made a positive difference—whether that means alleviating a troubling symptom, getting a patient's blood sugar or blood pressure under control or guiding patients toward sustaining a healthier lifestyle.

In her spare time, Maria enjoys traveling, photography and attending concerts. Most of all, she loves spending quality time with her husband, their two boys and the family dog.
