Zahra Daftarian, NP

Professional Profile

I sought a medical career so that I could influence people's lives for the better, and help them achieve optimal health and wellness.

That made the decision to become a nurse practitioner easy. I wanted to help educate and empower patients to take control of their health while helping best manage and treat their health conditions.

I believe my role as a nurse practitioner is to help patients understand their health conditions, and the treatment options available to them, and utilize shared-decision making to choose the best plan for each patient.

I greatly enjoy building relationships with my patients and working together to create individualized treatment plans to maximize long-term health and well-being.

The best part of my work is getting to know my patients and seeing them improve. I feel privileged to serve as an advocate for them and to be part of their path to feeling and living their best.

If there is one thing I want my patients to understand about me it is that

I believe strongly in health promotion and disease prevention, patient education, and working together to achieve the best outcomes for my patients.
