Wiek, Casandera, FNP-C

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, my philosophy in life is simple: treat others as you would like to be treated. I believe that quality healthcare is built on education, prevention, and individualized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I spent 10 years as a nurse, which deepened my passion for helping others and allowed me to connect with patients on a personal level. Now, as part of the team at Entira, my goal is to build long-lasting relationships with patients and accompany them on their healthcare journey throughout their lives.

Specializations:

• Comprehensive Care: Head to toes, from young children to older adults, I provide care across all stages of life.
• Mental and Physical Well-Being: Helping patients feel better both physically and mentally is at the core of my practice.

My Approach to Care:
Every patient is an individual and deserves personalized care. I strive to truly listen and understand each person’s needs, so we can work together to create a health plan that suits them best. I view healthcare as a partnership, where we collaborate to improve both physical and mental well-being.

Outside the Office:
When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my family and riding horses. I find joy in the simplicity of nature, and it’s an important part of my self-care routine.

Fun Facts:

• Superpower Wish: Flying—imagine the freedom and the ability to travel instantly!
• If I weren’t a provider: I’d be rescuing and taking care of animals, offering them the same love and care I give my patients.
• Comfort Food: Caramels and fruit pizza—simple, sweet, and always satisfying.

Health Tips:

• Sleep: Getting sufficient sleep is crucial for the mind, body, and soul—don’t underestimate its power.
• Prevention: I believe that staying proactive is key—whether it’s maintaining good hygiene, practicing healthy habits, or taking time for self-care, small steps go a long way.
• Basic Care: Wash your hands! It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to stay healthy and prevent illness.

What I Love About Family Medicine:
Family medicine allows me to care for individuals across all ages and life stages. It’s rewarding to see families grow, face challenges together, and know that I’m a part of their journey toward health and happiness.

The Goal:
My aim is to provide compassionate, holistic care that supports each patient’s physical and mental well-being. Together, we can make choices that empower you to live a healthier, more fulfilling life.
