About Shanna Tucker, MD
Growing up, I helped care for family members with chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. These experiences inspired me to become a primary care physician. I wanted to build long-term relationships with patients, care for them across all stages of life, and advocate for them when they need it most.
I enjoy managing chronic medical conditions, but I am equally passionate about prevention and lifestyle-based care. No matter the condition I am treating, I work with patients to identify realistic lifestyle changes that can improve their health. This may include nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and daily routines. I believe it is essential to understand a patient’s life and responsibilities so that recommendations are practical, sustainable, and truly supportive.
In addition to primary care, I offer specialized expertise in weight management. I am passionate about helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss, as it can improve mobility and prevent or better manage conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and sleep apnea.
