Abou Diallo
Family Nurse Practitioner
Online Therapy
Hello and welcome! I'm Abou Diallo, a dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with a compassionate approach to your healthcare needs. With advanced degrees from Texas Wesleyan University and the University of Mount Saint Vincent, I've honed my expertise to provide you with exceptional care. My academic achievements are marked by excellent GPAs, reflecting my commitment to learning and professional growth. While working as an FNP, I took courses toward a DNP degree. After validating all the DNP courses, including three years of research work on obesity, I successfully defended my Doctorate thesis on "Educating Providers on Barriers to Effective Obesity Management." My clinical journey has been diverse, including acute care, managing chronic diseases, and offering palliative management at UHG in Houston. Before that, I served at the Mount Vernon Neighborhood Health Center in New York, managing acute and chronic conditions with a patient-first mindset. Being ANCC board certified and holding FNP licenses in New York and New Mexico assures you that your health is in qualified hands. My proficiency in French (my native language), Malinke, and basic Spanish allows me to connect with a diverse patient population. Beyond my clinical roles, I'm an active member of several professional organizations, such as the Obesity Medicine Association and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. I enjoy soccer, running, or outdoor adventures when not caring for patients. I look forward to being part of your journey to wellness with personalized attention every step of the way!
