Savannah Stone-Atkins, APRN, FNP-BC

Savannah Stone-Atkins, APRN, FNP-BC, is a primary care provider at UT Health East Texas Physicians at Cedar Creek Lake who sees patients of all ages. She believes quality healthcare is the result of a relationship built on mutual respect and trust. “I strive to provide compassionate, patient-centered care with a holistic and individualized approach,” she said. “I believe every patient deserves access to quality healthcare with their own personal values and beliefs taken into consideration.”

Savannah chose a career in healthcare after injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident left her hospitalized for two months. “During those two months, I received care from many doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other hospital staff that showed me true compassion and took wonderful care of me,” she said. “Shortly after, I knew that I wanted to be able to give that same care and compassion to others and pay it forward.”

She chose to focus on family medicine to help patients better manage chronic illnesses. “I believe family medicine is the foundation of healthcare,” she said. “If we can identify and manage disease/illness at the primary level, we can prevent worsening disease, prevent hospitalizations and improve a person’s quality of life.”

When not seeing patients, she enjoys kayak fishing, hiking, hunting and traveling with her husband and five children.
