Paige Proctor, PA-C
Co-Owner & Physician Assistant at PEAK Wellness & Aesthetics. Specializing in medical weight loss, endocrinology, and diabetes management in Chesapeake, VA.
About Paige
Paige received her Bachelor's of Science in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise at Virginia Tech in 2017. Upon completing her undergraduate studies, she went on to earn her Physician Assistant degree from Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Paige then worked as an Endocrinology PA for 2 years, where she gained experience diagnosing and treating patients living with diabetes, thyroid disease, and PCOS.
Paige has had Type 1 Diabetes herself since the age of 8, and her personal experiences with both diabetes and weight loss have ignited her passions for health, fitness, and medical science. Paige understands from a personal perspective how challenging it can be to lose weight as someone living with diabetes. It is her goal to help people living with diabetes lose weight while balancing their blood sugars, and to help people without diabetes reduce their risk for developing insulin resistance and pre-diabetes.
Approach to care
Paige spent two years in endocrinology before joining PEAK, which means she is especially good with patients whose weight is tied to hormonal or metabolic conditions — insulin resistance, thyroid issues, PCOS.
As someone who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes for most of her life, Paige has firsthand knowledge of the daily challenges that come with managing a chronic metabolic condition. This personal perspective shapes her approach to patient care — she meets patients where they are, without judgment, and works collaboratively to build treatment plans that account for the full complexity of their health.
