Terry McQuaide

Welcome! I'm Terry L. McQuaide, a board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner with a robust 34-year background in professional nursing. My journey has been marked by a deep commitment to delivering holistic patient care and a passion for nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals. My expertise spans a variety of settings, from providing in-home examinations for Medicare and Medicaid recipients to managing complex chronic diseases that have significantly improved health outcomes. As an operational leader, I've proudly contributed to the growth of healthcare communities by welcoming over 110 new members in one year alone and playing a key role in developing innovative electronic reporting systems. Beyond my leadership roles, my clinical skills are comprehensive, including joint injections, lesion biopsies, wound care, cryotherapy, and women's health services. I take pride in my ability to collaborate with all levels of medical professionals and elevate the knowledge of supportive staff through active participation and engagement. Currently serving at the VAMC Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis, MO, I've embraced the challenge of caring for patients with complex, multi-system issues. Even during the unprecedented times of a global pandemic, I've successfully met and exceeded patient care metrics through diligent telephonic management. I believe that every patient deserves care that is both compassionate and informed by the latest evidence-based medicine. As your healthcare provider, my goal is to ensure you feel heard, cared for, and confident in the health journey we embark on together. *Treatment philosophy I believe that weight loss and optimal weight achievement is possible for everyone. It is my goal and privilege to assist you in regaining the best version of yourself.
