Ashley Wells, NP

As a new Nurse Practitioner entering Primary Care, I am passionate about preventative medicine and health promotion. I wish to empower my patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey, with collaboration and mutual respect and trust. I am committed to staying abreast of the latest advancements in healthcare and dedicated to delivering evidence-based practice with a focus on holistic wellness. I have a deep-seated belief in the importance of advocacy and patient education and strive to make a positive impact on the lives I will be serving in my community. I embarked on my nursing career journey at a local emergency room in downtown Jacksonville, Florida in 2010 at the young age of 22 after graduating with my bachelor's degree in nursing. With a passion for adventure and learning, I transitioned into travel nursing, shortly finding myself in Santa Maria at Marian Regional Medical Center Emergency Room in 2013. I made the ultimate and hard decision to settle in the central …coast, miles away from my East Coast roots. Not even one month after my decision, I met my now-husband of 7 years. Together, we have built a blended family of four children, ranging from 19 years old to our youngest at 2 years old. I spent 10 years at MMC ER when I transitioned into my role as a Nurse Practitioner in 2023.I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and fostering wellness, all while balancing my professional life with my cherished family time. I find joy in snuggling on the couch with all 4 children, my husband, and our three dogs to any Marvel movie. I also relish in our weekly trips to Pismo Beach, soaking up the sun and digging my toes into the warm sand.I am excited to continue to serve the community of the Central Coast in my practice as a nurse practitioner.
