Hi! My name is Alexandria Lightning, owner and operator of Lightning Medical. I am a Board Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and a graduate of Purdue University. I decided to open Lightning Medical in order to scratch the itch of my many passions: Primary Care, Serving the Underserved, and Aesthetics.๐๐
Iโm originally from Fort Wayne, IN but moved to the west coast nearly 3ยฝ years ago, to sunny California. I practiced there for nearly two years, working in primary care at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) before making the move to Las Vegas. I worked as a floor nurse and as a sole nighttime urgent care provider as well during that time (hey- LA is EXPENSIVE!๐ฉ)
Prior to moving to Vegas, I went NYC for 2 months to help with the COVID19 pandemic. I lived in a hotel and worked 12 โ 14 hour shifts every day for weeks straight on a COVID ICU Unit in the South Bronx. I figured- if I could handle this, I could handle anything! So while there, I began planning the opening of my clinic, Lightning Medical. And wellโฆ here I am today!
Lightning Medical started as telehealth services only, but quickly expanded to a brick & mortar convenience care, then aesthetics, and now primary care. My goal is to offer quick, timely, personable care. At Lightning Med, youโre family.๐
