Buddy Collins, FNP-BC

Buddy Collins, FNP-BC is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a strong clinical foundation and a passion for delivering compassionate, evidence-based care. He began his healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant in high school before earning his LPN from TCAT Morristown. He later completed his ASN at Walters State Community College and went on to earn both his BSN and FNP degrees from South College.

With nearly a decade devoted to higher education and hands-on clinical experience, Buddy brings a well-rounded, patient-centered approach to our practice. His background across multiple levels of nursing allows him to connect with patients while providing up-to-date, research-driven treatment.

Outside of the clinic, Buddy enjoys kayaking, hiking, traveling, and exploring new cuisines with his family. Together they share their home with two dogs and two cats. He believes in building genuine connections with patients and lives by the motto, “Laughter is the best medicine”—but when laughter is not enough, he is committed to providing high-quality care grounded in the most current, evidence-based research.
