About Jessica Evans

From a young age, Jessica Evans, FNP, knew she wanted to help people and go in to health care. “I want to make a difference in patients’ lives and their care,” she says. “I want to be a resource – someone they can go to and trust.”

Jessica earned her undergraduate degree at University of Texas, Arlington, TX and master’s degree at Maryville University, St. Louis, MO. She has worked as an urgent care nurse practitioner and a registered nurse in hospitals, clinics and surgery centers around the country.

Patients have taught her the value of listening, she says, adding that listening is one of the best tools health care providers have.

“I am very evidence-based when it comes to practicing,” Jessica says, wanting patients to understand her approach to medicine. “I love educating people and teaching them how to care for themselves.”
