Samantha Marshall, FNP-BC

Approach to care

Sam has worked in bariatric surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and medical weight loss — so she understands what happens before, during, and after major weight change. That gives her a full-picture understanding of the options available to patients managing their weight. This breadth of experience allows her to meet each patient with a nuanced understanding of what different treatment pathways look like, and to help them make informed decisions about the approach that fits their health and their life.

Trained at Georgetown University, Sam is committed to evidence-based, patient-centered care. She believes that sustainable health outcomes come from working collaboratively with patients rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all plan. Sam starts by listening — understanding each patient's full medical history before building a treatment plan around their specific goals.

At PEAK, Sam draws on her surgical and medical obesity background to help patients review their treatment options with confidence. Her experience across the entire weight management process — from lifestyle-based approaches to medication to post-surgical care — means she can meet patients wherever they are in their treatment and guide them toward the approach that best fits their health and goals. If someone is just beginning to explore medical weight loss or transitioning from a different care setting, Sam makes sure they understand their options and feel ready to move forward.
