Dawn Best, ARNP in a professional clinical setting

A partnership built on trust and expertise

Dawn Best, ARNP is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner serving the Ocala community with a practice rooted in empathy, thoroughness, and evidence-based medicine.

After years of clinical experience across hospital and outpatient settings, Dawn chose to focus on primary care because she believes the strongest health outcomes begin with a genuine provider-patient relationship. She takes the time to listen, to explain, and to tailor every treatment plan to the person sitting across from her — not the textbook average.

Whether you need a long-awaited second opinion, help managing a chronic condition, or simply a provider who sees you as a whole person rather than a chart number, our practice is here for you.
