Kristen McGaha

Introducing Kristen McGaha, a FNP-C health care professional since 1996.

I started my nursing career 20 years ago after graduating magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina. From there, I received my commission as an Ensign in the United States Navy and spent the next 8 years “seeing the world” as a Navy nurse, spending time in Texas, Japan, Maryland, and onboard the USNS Comfort off the coast of Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. My time in the military provided me with a wide range of nursing experiences, including medical-surgical, Same-Day Surgery, PACU, Health Promotion, and pediatrics.

Prior to attending graduate school in 2010 at East Carolina University to obtain my advanced practice degree, I had spent ten years working Labor and Delivery in the Charlotte area. Each area of nursing has enhanced my practice with a different skill set, allowing me opportunities to grow while still affording me the connection to my patients. “I added injecting Dysport, Botox, and fillers to my skill set over three years ago.
