Jessica Lopez Fontanez is a board-certified family nurse practitioner. She attended college at South University at Tampa where she earned her Master of Science in Nursing to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. Previously, she worked as a registered nurse for over 7 years in hospital settings including Interventional Radiology, Cardiologist, Rehabilitation, and Emergency room unit. After obtaining her nursing license as a Family Nurse Practitioner, she has worked as a Urologist.
Jessica was inspired to go into the field of pain medicine when she witnessed how chronic pain directly impacted a family member. Her first-hand experience and compassion can be felt by both the patients and their family members that she cares for. She speaks Spanish and English. My goal as a bilingual provider is to improve those relationships by breaking down cultural barriers in healthcare, thereby improving patient care and improving their quality of life.
