Dr. Sarah Baxley is the kind of healthcare provider who makes you feel like you've found someone who truly understands you. Providing both primary care and mental health, and a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Duke University, she's deeply skilled at blending the science of medicine with the art of compassion.
Her philosophy is simple: healthcare should be accessible, personal, and rooted in respect. Dr. Baxley believes every patient has a story worth hearing, and she takes the time to listen-really listen. "She makes you feel like you're the most important person in the room," one patient shared. "I've never felt judged or rushed, just supported."
Dr. Baxley founded Access Now Primary Care to create a better way for people to get the care they deserve. Through telemedicine, she's breaking down barriers to healthcare, connecting with patients from every corner of Florida, and making sure distance or circumstances never stand in the way of quality care.
Her practice focuses on a wide range of needs, from managing anxiety and depression to chronic conditions like diabetes. She's also big on preventative care, helping patients stay ahead of potential health issues. "Dr. Baxley doesn't just hand you a treatment plan," another patient said. "She takes the time to explain everything and makes sure it works for your life."
For Dr. Baxley, it's not just about treating symptoms; it's about empowering her patients to take control of their health. She's passionate about creating an inclusive space where everyone feels respected, regardless of their background, lifestyle, or circumstances.
Patients describe her as approachable, caring, and someone they can trust. "Dr. Baxley is the first provider who's made me feel truly seen," one patient said. "She doesn't just check the boxes-she genuinely cares."
At Access Now, Dr. Baxley is redefining what it means to care for patients. She's proving that healthcare can be personal, accessible, and rooted in kindness, one patient at a time
