Amber Ensley, NP
I have been a Certified Nurse Midwife for the last decade and have worked in a variety of settings. I am passionate about ensuring that patients feel heard and that through shared decision making we develop a plan of care together to meet the patients goals.
Specialty
Menopause care, sexual health
Why do you love working in women’s health?
Women's health/reproductive health has always been fascinating to me as it is pretty incredible what our bodies are capable of. It can also be quite the puzzle! I enjoy having the opportunity to make an evidence based impact with our patients and help them navigate solutions that work for them.
What do you do outside of work?
I love to garden with the help of my chickens, hike with my dogs, travel, and eat good food with my family!
