Lesley Ann Newell

Certified Nurse Practitioner

Since earning my Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2017, I have been dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive care across a wide range of settings. My clinical background includes emergency medicine in both rural and metropolitan areas, as well as home-based geriatric care in the Columbus region. This diverse experience has given me a deep understanding of the complexities patients face in all stages of life, especially when managing chronic pain. I approach care by listening closely to patients' concerns, advocating for their needs, and helping them live their best possible life—no matter their circumstances.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors in nice weather, attending festivals, participating in cosplay activities, and cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes. No matter where life takes me, I’ll always be a Buckeye at heart.
