Kara Stiles, ANP-BC, is a nationally certified nurse practitioner who took a winding path through the military and business worlds before realizing her dream of becoming a nurse practitioner and graduating from Northeastern University, Boston, in 2012. She has intentionally focused her clinical practice on communities with limited access to healthcare across the U.S., from Boston to Oregon, before choosing to make her forever home in New Mexico.

Her life experiences, both personal and professional, have extended across many cultures and culminated in a respect for each individual’s life choices. This respect helps her connect with people on their healthcare journeys and figure out what works for each person’s life and body. Her practice is focused on primary care, sexual and reproductive health, and geriatric care.

Kara has embraced the healing properties of traditional medicines and blended them with the benefits of Western medicine. Her curiosity leads her to continually learn about and honor the traditional medicines found in New Mexico.

Kara works with folks for primary care, full-scope sexual and reproductive health, including menopause concerns, and preventative screening visits, and contraception.

She is also a resource for guidance through medical consults to advocate for care within the Western medicine community, helping veterans tell their stories for disability claims, and connecting community resources to families with loved ones with dementia symptoms and other age-related care.
