Myeshia Hamilton, NP

Where did you complete your undergraduate studies, medical school, internship, residency, and fellowship?
I completed my undergraduate studies at Florida A&M University (FAMU) in Tallahassee, Florida. I later completed my graduate studies at Georgia State University’s Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions, where I earned my Master of Science in Nursing with a concentration as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, I worked as a registered nurse for approximately 10 years, including caring for complex liver and kidney transplant patients at Emory University Hospital.
Do you have any other notable training or certifications we should mention?
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C). My clinical background includes extensive nursing experience in transplant care as well as experience in urgent care, where I have evaluated and treated a wide range of acute illnesses and injuries and performed minor procedures.
What are your particular areas of clinical interest?
My clinical interests include preventive care, chronic disease management, women’s health, acute care, and patient education. I am particularly interested in building long-term relationships with my patients and helping them take an active role in improving and maintaining their overall health.
What inspired you to become a healthcare provider?
My inspiration came from my years of experience as a registered nurse. I saw firsthand the impact that compassionate, knowledgeable, and accessible healthcare can have on patients and their families. I wanted to expand my role in patient care by being able to diagnose and treat conditions, provide education, and build lasting relationships with my patients.
What do you enjoy most about practicing medicine?
What I enjoy most is having the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s health. Whether I am treating an acute concern, helping a patient manage a chronic condition, providing preventive care, or simply taking the time to listen, I want my patients to feel heard, respected, and cared for.
What do you wish you could tell every patient, and why?
I would tell every patient that their health is a partnership. Never be afraid to ask questions, advocate for yourself, or tell your healthcare provider when something does not feel right. I believe patients have the best outcomes when they feel informed, respected, and actively involved in their care.
Please share any research you have conducted in your area of expertise.
I have not conducted formal research for publication at this time.

What area of Atlanta do you live in? Are you married or do you have children?
I live in the south Atlanta area with my husband. I am also a proud bonus mom to a daughter, and we have our dog, Thor. I come from a close-knit family and enjoy spending time with my many nieces.
What brought you to the Atlanta area?
I am originally from Jacksonville, Florida, and attended Florida A&M University in Tallahassee for my undergraduate studies. I was drawn to Atlanta because of its rich culture, diversity, and opportunities. My husband was also an important part of what brought me to the area. Over the years, Atlanta has truly become home.
