For years, I've watched patients struggle with a healthcare system that often feels rushed, impersonal, and difficult to navigate. Long wait times, short appointments, and limited access to your provider have become the norm—but healthcare shouldn't feel that way.
My name is Marquieta Knutson, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, and I founded Northwest Florida Health & Wellness because I believe healthcare should be personal, accessible, and centered around the patient.
With more than 20 years of experience in emergency medicine, intensive care, primary care, and men's health, I've had the privilege of caring for patients through some of life's most challenging moments. Those experiences taught me that true healthcare is about more than treating symptoms—it's about building relationships, listening to concerns, and helping people achieve their healthiest lives.
At Northwest Florida Health & Wellness, our Direct Primary Care model allows me to spend more time with patients, offer same- or next-day appointments, provide direct communication, and deliver personalized care without the frustrations of traditional insurance-driven medicine.
Whether you're looking for primary care, medical weight loss support, men's health services, hormone optimization, or simply a healthcare provider who truly knows your story, I'm here to help.
Your health deserves attention. Your concerns deserve to be heard. And your care should never feel rushed.

Testosterone levels significantly influence men's health, affecting energy, mood, and sexual function. Studies indicate that up to 6 million men may experience testosterone deficiency, yet only a small percentage seek treatment, highlighting the importance of awareness and proactive health management.
