NPMD; Amy, one of the smartest, kindest, compassionate and brilliant Nurse Practitioners.
She offers expert medical care and medical advice in a way that you understand. When she examines you and reviews your medical issues, not one detail is missed. she explains treatment options for you in a manner that is precise, individualized and understandable.
When she discusses your medical problems she is so kind, soft spoken, you can feel the discussion is coming from her heart, her deep understanding of medicine and human mankind. When you are with her YOU are not a patient with a chart number and a hurried 15 minute office visit. You are sitting with a person that makes you feel you count and that you are part of her medical family.
I have been coming to NPMD since it's opening in Encino, Ca.
The office is very clean and quite beautiful.
George, RN is so nice and so smart as well.
Amy's entire staff duplicate her and her vision for what 5 star medical care should be.
By the way if you are thirsty the office has the best coffee, made just for you as well as a variety of cold healthy beverages to drink.
The location is easy to get to and the parking is relatively inexpensive, compared to most LA parking.
My husband comes here now and every time I get a chance I always recommend that my friends or just people I speak to come to NPMD.
If you can just come and visit NPMD, I am well, thriving and very very happy with the care and attention I receive for this unbelievable practice. Thank You NPMD and Amy

5 Stars – A Total Game-Changer for My Health and Wellness
NPMD Medical Clinic and MedSpa is a rare find—one that expertly combines outstanding medical care with luxurious wellness treatments. I initially booked an appointment for a routine check-up, but ended up discovering a complete wellness destination under one roof!
The medical team was incredibly thorough, examining every detail of my health history and current concerns. They patiently answered all of my questions, empowering me to make informed decisions about my care. Afterward, I explored their medspa offerings, and the treatments were simply phenomenal. From revitalizing facials to relaxing massages, I felt like I was on a mini vacation that just happened to be in a state-of-the-art medical facility.
I appreciate how NPMD’s staff genuinely cares about your well-being and customizes services to fit your unique goals. By the time I left, I was not only feeling healthier but also pampered and rejuvenated. If you’re looking for a place that prioritizes both your inner and outer well-being, you’ll find it here—NPMD is 100% deserving of a five-star review!
