Crystal Loveland-Davis, APRN-CNP, specializes in family medicine at Utica Park Clinic. “I chose family practice with the intentions of improving trusted primary care access for all populations. Family practice provides the opportunity to care for patients repeatedly over their lifetimes, develop relationships and personalize care accordingly through that connection,” she said.

Crystal’s career choice in medicine began much earlier than anticipated. She said, “At the age of 2, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. My childhood treatment plan included years of multi-discipline office visits. The doctors, nurses, therapists and support staff were all amazing. Their care, compassion and guidance not only sparked my interest in health care, but most importantly, kept me physically mobile enough to thrive in life and my career.”

When it comes to building relationships with her patients, Crystal prioritizes listening, finding common connections and providing reliable education and resources. “I want my patients to feel relaxed and comfortable when they come to see me. I want them to enjoy their time in the office, know that I am appreciative of their trust, and understand that we will work together to create goals and celebrate together when they are achieved,” she said.

Crystal likes to remind patients to, “enjoy the journey of life, breathe fresh air, connect with others and release self-limiting beliefs.”

When Crystal isn’t working, she likes to spend time with her wife and children, hiking, swimming, working out, listening to live music, exploring new places and volunteering.
