Rebekah Compton, M.S.N., F.N.P.-C.
Nurse Practitioner
Co-Medical Director of Primary Care Center Clinic

Ever since I was in 6th grade, I knew I wanted to do something in the medical field. I was the oldest of 7 children, so caring for others came with the territory.

I had the wonderful opportunity to spend a large portion of my childhood in Germany. Living abroad allowed me to become culturally sensitive and interested in learning more about various cultures.

After completing nursing school, I began working as a Medical-Surgical nurse and then worked as a Labor and Delivery nurse.  I obtained my M.S.N. degree at the UVA School of Nursing and became a Family Nurse Practitioner. I worked for a little over a year in Cardiology, then joined the Family Medicine Clinic team.

One of the reasons I chose Family Medicine as my specialty, is because of the broad scope in which we can help people.  I love to be able to connect with my patients, follow them throughout their life, and be here to help them when they need the help. Each patient brings a new story and I look forward to discovering what that story will be.

In addition to my work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Dave and our sons Gabriel and Jaden.
