About Me

IMG_9408.jpeg

WHO I AM 

I am Megan Bendinelli, a board-certified nurse practitioner dedicated to elevating the standard of care and wellness for women. A daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend, health and wellness advocate, dog lover. My passion lies in creating a space where every patient feels heard, validated, and supported as they navigate their wellness journey to Live Well. 

WHAT I STAND FOR

Your story matters. I believe in the power of compassionate listening and individualized care. Collaboration over competition. Partnership over Dictatorship. Collectively we will achieve more than alone.  Every symptom has a story, and I am here to provide meaningful relief through science-backed solutions and genuine connection.

What Makes My Approach Unique

  • Empathy First: I take the time to understand your challenges, frustrations, and goals, ensuring you feel seen and valued. I hate the typical constructs of rushed 10-15-20minute appointments and never have functioned well within such limited restrictions. 

  • Empowerment Through Knowledge: My goal is not just to treat but to empower you with the tools and understanding you need to take control of your health and wellness. I love exploring integrative and all options with my patients. 

My Mission

To elevate wellness care by bridging the gap between clinical expertise and compassionate support. I strive to provide options for symptoms that through shared decision making my patients can then make the best informed choice for their quality of life and ultimately wellness. I help my patients feel their best—because everyone deserves a care experience that transforms their health and allows them to live well.

GET TO KNOW MEGAN

fun facts

01

I am the youngest daughter of three girls and yet the mother of the only daughter on both sides of my family.

02

Although I have always had a heart for Nursing, I am also passionate and studied kinesology, nutrition, and exercise science. I have remained interested in areas of personal training, fitness and longevity.

03

I was once on Family Feud. My family and I still laugh about this memorable experience. My family's love for game shows and playing games runs strong.

04

I have more than a handful of friendships that date back over 20-30 years, and I consider such individuals my extended family. I value our friendships deeply even if we don't get to see each other frequently.

05

My happy place is curled up by a warm fire, eating homemade soup, and watching a sappy romantic comedy

06

I embrace the fact that I am directionally challenged and do not pack light. I have become quite accustomed to asking for directions and getting my suitcase to the absolute max it can expand for my just in case items.

07

I love matching and coordinating outfits for holidays or theme parties. You can always count on Christmas family PJs in my house!

08

I am an empath and often take things to heart.  I would rather feel deeply than not at all. I understand that may make me more emotional at times than at others. I also believe in the unique power of shared experiences and support and often share my journey with others to show support and strength while ensuring others understand everyone's experience and process remains their own.

09

I often consider myself someone who loves sharing everything with others, but when it comes to: artichokes, Sees dark chocolate almond candies, or my pillow- watch out! I hold no mercy. 

10

I have naturally curly hair (although I feel my daughter's hair is even more curly) and love a good blowout to change things up occasionally. I love to keep others on their toes if my hair will be curly or straight.
