About Me

I have always been passionate about medicine, beginning my journey in high school. Over the years, I progressed through several roles — including CNA, phlebotomist, LPN, RN and now nurse practitioner — and each step strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care.

What I find most rewarding is caring for patients as whole people and empowering them through education to better understand and manage their health. I have developed a strong clinical interest in metabolic health, weight management, nutrition and exercise medicine. I'm passionate about helping patients understand the connection between lifestyle, chronic disease prevention and overall wellness. My goal is to provide evidence-based education and individualized treatment plans that support sustainable, long-term health improvements rather than temporary solutions.

I especially enjoy working with patients to improve conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and other metabolic disorders through a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, physical activity, behavioral change and medical management when appropriate. I believe patient education and empowerment are essential, and I strive to create a supportive environment where patients feel motivated, informed and confident in their health care journey.

Throughout my career, working in multiple health care roles has allowed me to care for patients at different stages of life and health while deepening my appreciation for compassion, communication and patient advocacy. Caring for patients with chronic illness has shown me how education, support and individualized care can truly transform quality of life, reinforcing the importance of listening to patients and treating the whole person rather than just the diagnosis.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, staying active as a family and being outdoors when weather permits. I prioritize CrossFit, strength training, running and nutrition to support my own physical and mental wellness.

What I find most rewarding is caring for patients as whole people and empowering them through education to better understand and manage their health.

  • Emily Russell,NP is an excellent NP. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is extremely knowledgable. She is very caring & compassionate. If there is something she doesn't know, she will definitely find the answer. She appears very interested in any problem you may have & surely does not leave any issue out. She is very thorough. She is an asset to your clinic. She explains everything in detail. I could only wish we had more like her!!
  • Emily was a fill in for my primary provider. She provided a level of care and detailed insight that I haven't previously experienced here. Her thoroughness and specific health suggestions were exactly what I needed.
  • Emily Russell was Great. I hope that she stays on even after covering short term. She is caring and takes time to listen to concerns. She even called to go over test results when the office was closed . You don't see that find of care much anymore in healthcare. She is a true asset to Alice Hyde.
  • My first visit with Emily. She was very knowledgeable and helped me understand my issues. I was treated with respect and courtesy and I appreciated that. She made me feel very comfortable to discuss my health care needs.
  • I highly recommend Emily. I would happily be one of her patients
