Amy Patterson
MMSc, PA-C, BCPA
As a nationally board certified Physician Associate with more than two decades of clinical experience, Amy brings an authentically balanced and curious medical mind to her healthcare practice.
She spent her career honing her skills as a trusted resource and compassionate guide for those seeking answers for a multitude of health challenges. With extensive knowledge of infectious disease and immunology as well as direct experience with conditions including diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disease, cancer, and osteoarthritis, Amy understands both the diagnosis and the root cause of the illness. From preventative care to general health maintenance, Amy is able to see the whole picture. As a traditionally trained and experienced healthcare provider, she often recommends modalities such as Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Massage, and Energy Work to complement more traditional care options. Her inquisitive nature and keen empathetic listening skills allow her to uncover the deeper threads of a patient’s history, informing confident guidance along the path to wellness. Drawing on decades of preventative care and clinical experience, Amy identifies and prioritizes options to create an intentional plan.
This broad experience has come together as part of her NorthStar Health Navigation practice, which launched in 2019. Amy is trained in Biomagnetic Pair Therapy and Lyme Magnetic Protocol, a gentle and supportive treatment option that further combines her clinical knowledge and passion for medicine with a holistic approach to healing and preventative health. In addition, as a board certified patient advocate, she guides clients through healthcare challenges with sound advice and patient guidance.
From clients with acute and chronic illnesses to those seeking general wellness, Amy listens, guides, and minimizes your stress by helping you understand your diagnosis and care options.
