Welcome! I'm Carina Gómez, your compassionate and dedicated Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with a passion for improving patient outcomes and promoting holistic health. With an impressive track record in sleep medicine, I've honed my skills in diagnosing and treating various sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome. Fluent in both English and Spanish, I ensure clear communication and comprehensive care for all my patients. My journey in healthcare began at the Gulf Coast Medical Center's Neurology floor, where I gained invaluable experience as a staff nurse. I'm proud to offer telehealth visits to accommodate your needs. My educational background includes a Master of Nursing from Nova University with a specialization as a Family Nurse Practitioner, where I graduated with Honors. My Bachelor's and Associate degrees in Nursing from FSW College have given me a strong foundation to serve my patients effectively. Beyond my clinical expertise, my previous experience in hospitality has equipped me with exceptional interpersonal skills, ensuring that every patient interaction is positive and supportive. I am fully licensed with FL-APRN - FNP-C credentials and certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Basic Life Support (BLS), guaranteeing that you receive care that meets the highest standards. My commitment to nursing excellence was recognized when I received "The Spirit of Nursing Award," an accolade honoring professionalism, leadership, integrity, courage, and dedication to the nursing profession. When not caring for patients, I do enjoy traveling and family time! Your health journey is unique, and together we can navigate it with personalized care tailored just for you.
