About Michelle Streb
Since high school, nurse practitioner Michelle Streb knew she wanted a career in medicine. “Forty years later,” she says, “I still love what I do.” At Beacon Medical Group, she aims to provide the best care possible to her patients. Her primary focus is on optimizing women’s health through personalized compassionate care.
Michelle likes to work in collaboration with patients so that they can take more ownership over their overall wellbeing. “I want my patients to know I truly care about them. People have a right to understand their health problems and contribute to the solution,” she explains. “I believe mental and physical health go hand-in-hand. It’s important for me to educate my patients, particularly women, so they can have better agency regarding their health.”
