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.
No rushed visits. You get the time, space, and attention you deserve to share your symptoms, ask questions, and truly feel heard.
You’ll work directly with Summer McKissick, MSN, CRNP, A-GNP-C, who brings 10+ years of healthcare experience, a certification in Obesity Medicine, and advanced specialized training in Menopause & Hormone Therapy.
Your symptoms aren’t brushed off. Your concerns are validated. Your experience matters here.
No one-size-fits-all approach. Every plan is tailored to your symptoms, goals, lifestyle, and what actually helps you feel like yourself again.

EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews Posted on Amy CohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough about Summer Breeze Menopause & Hormone Care. Summer really listens to what you are dealing with. She did not dismiss my joint pain like my gyn did. She brings a number of options to the table so you can decide what will work for you. I came to Sumner doing “everything “ they say a woman of my age should be doing and seeing no results. After a short time with Summer that is changing. I am starting to see the results I am after- less body fat and more muscle. I am sleeping better and feeling stronger. Thank you Summer!Posted on Laura GlaeserTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An exceptional experience.
