Meet Patrick Nganga
I'm an experienced Nurse Practitioner providing holistic, compassionate care with expertise in Acute, Psychiatric, and Mental Health across MD & DC.
As a dedicated healthcare provider with years of experience, I focus on delivering compassionate and comprehensive care to my patients. My journey in healthcare began as an ICU nurse, where I honed my skills in patient assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. Over the years, I have collaborated with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure the best outcomes for every patient.
I have had the privilege of teaching the next generation of nurses as an adjunct faculty member at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My role involved mentoring nurse practitioner students and guiding registered nurse students through their critical care rotations.
I hold multiple certifications, including Acute Care, Psychiatry, and Mental Health, and I am licensed as a Nurse Practitioner in the State of Maryland and Washington DC. Staying up-to-date with the latest in medical research and practice, I actively participate in professional organizations such as the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
My approach to healthcare is holistic, focusing not just on the physical but also the mental well-being of my patients. I am committed to providing personalized care, clear communication, and support to both patients and their families throughout their healthcare journey.

My philosophy
We believe patients have the right to actively participate in decisions regarding their care. Our goal is to conduct thorough evaluations to fully understand the challenges our patients face. This enables us to accurately diagnose and provide evidence-based treatments. By prioritizing patient-centered care and fostering shared decision-making, we aim to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
