My name is Dorothy Green, I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with close to 30 years of nursing experience.
I have worked as a Registered Nurse since 1996. Certified as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner in 2007, during which time I was a RN First Assist with an oncology surgeon. I have been a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner since 2013. This means that I am a registered nurse with an advanced degree in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients, including national certification and specialization in areas of family, geriatrics, and women's health. I have been trained to perform examinations, order diagnostic tests, treat patients and prescribe medication. I can serve as a Primary Care Provider (PCP) providing health risk evaluation for all ages, preventive care, health education, wellness promotion, and referral to other healthcare specialists. I can prescribe treatment and medications according to the Texas Nurse Practice Act with a written agreement with a collaborating physician. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of providing management of general health conditions such as colds, flu, sinus infections, urinary infections, and respiratory infections. Chronic health condition management includes diabetes, blood pressure, obesity, minor depression, and heart disease. As a nurse, I believe in treating the patient as a whole, with health promotion and prevention being the core of my practice.
I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, who is qualified to practice in primary care and mental health; diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication for young adults, adults, and older adults. Some of my practice specialties include minor urgent care, primary care, Type 2 Diabetes treatment, hypothyroid treatment, depression, anxiety, and mood disorders.
As a nurse practitioner, I utilize both conventional and non-conventional approaches to medicine. This may include prescribing modern drugs or incorporating natural remedies such as vitamins, supplements, lifestyle adjustments, altered diets, physical activity, and stress management techniques. It is believed that every individual is greater than the mere combination of their physical components and that the mind, body, and spirit are interconnected.
I began my medical profession in 1997 as a labor and delivery registered nurse. In 2008, I pursued my education and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I received my Master of Science in nursing as a family nurse practitioner in 2011. During COVID-19, I and several family members struggled with mental health, so I decided to pursue a post-masters certification in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2023.
Over the course of over twenty years of medical practice, I have had the privilege of working in many practice areas, including primary care and family practice, Women’s services, internal medicine, pain management, and urgent care. Much of my experience has been in geriatrics. However, I also have many years of experience working with younger adults. I enjoy working with a variety of age groups.
Special areas of interest are obesity and emotional eating, stress-related disorders, hormones (men and women), and their relationship with mood and overall health. My main area of interest is the mind, body, and spiritual connection pertaining to their relationship and role in one's health and healing. I have always enjoyed assisting others and consider my profession quite satisfying.
My hobbies include reading, wine tasting, and traveling. My passion is cooking.
