Hello, I'm Heather Aynne Vernillo, a dedicated Nurse Practitioner with 25 years of experience. I specialize in hormone management and psychiatric mental health. I hold certifications from the ANCC and practice independently in Florida.
My journey in healthcare began in community settings, hospitals, and academics—giving me a well-rounded perspective. I manage hormones, weight, and medical care with a strong focus on mental health.
I have helped providers launch regenerative medicine programs. My work is rooted in safety and well-being.
My educational background includes a Diploma in Nursing, a Bachelor's of Science, a Master’s in Science and further training as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing. I’m affiliated with leading nurse practitioner associations and enjoy serving as a faculty member for future healthcare workers.
I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care with compassion and expertise. Whether it's a telehealth consultation or an in-person visit, I look forward to supporting your health journey.
