Susan Castle, NP-C

"Susan is the Nurse Practitioner at Whole Family Medicine. She performs adult and child physicals. She sees patients for urgent sick visits. But she has also had extensive training at the Institute for Functional Medicine with a special emphasis on hormone health, lifestyle changes, weight loss, and special dietary management for chronic illness. Whether she is seeing  you for a “quick sick” visit or to do a deep dive into how your nutritional patterns are impacting you health, she is informed by the Functional Medicine approach.  She is always mindful that what we do about your cold symptoms may affect you gut and is careful to weight those risks and discuss the treatment options for each with you, to help you make the best decision for yourself.  She is familiar with all the issues that Dr. Owen manages and is involved integrally in developing practice protocols.  Susan graduated from Emory University with a BSN and MSN. She subsequently became certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and has been with Whole family medicine as a valued member of the care team since 2010."

"Dr. Marion Owen, MD, and Susan Castle, NP, practice Functional Medicine, a unique lifestyle medicine-based approach that’s been proven to help people achieve optimal health. Instead of writing a prescription to mask symptoms, treating only the diagnosis or disease, referring you to specialist after specialist, or offering a laundry list of possible explanations, we take the time to listen to your concerns and uncover what is actually preventing you from living your best life. It’s only then that we devise an individualized, personalized plan to restore, protect, and optimize your health.

At Whole Family Medicine, the lines of communication are always open and the conversation is ongoing. Member participation is not only encouraged – it’s a vital part of the Whole Family Medicine experience. Our members are encouraged to come in frequently to build on progress, catch gaps in health needs early, get questions answered and stay engaged in the progress to health.  At Whole Family Medicine you are empowered to make informed healthcare decisions throughout your life. Finally, real healthcare you control."
