My name is Summer McKissick, and I’m an Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with a certification in Obesity Medicine and advanced training in Menopause Care.
Before becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked in various intensive care units as a nurse in Shock Trauma’s Multitrauma Critical Care Unit, The Johns Hopkins Medical Intensive Care Unit, and in cardiac telemetry, pre/post-op, and OR care. That experience gave me a strong foundation in complex medicine and deepened my commitment to prevention and wellness.
For the past several years, I’ve worked as a nurse practitioner specializing in obesity medicine, where I’ve seen so many women struggle with weight changes, hot flashes, GSM, sleep issues, and simply not feeling like themselves—often without clear answers. I wanted to help women get better care, feel truly heard, find real answers, and receive safe, evidence-based treatment so they can actually enjoy this time in their lives.
My mission is to change women’s experience and quality of life in midlife and beyond. I want every woman to feel heard, validated, and supported. Through evidence-based guidance and shared decision-making, I help patients find treatments that fit their lifestyle and empower them to thrive.
Outside of work, I love traveling with my husband and our two Australian Shepherds, hiking, CrossFit, gardening, drawing, and starting the day with a hot caramel latte.
