Approach to treatment
“My goal as a nurse practitioner is to always have a positive and meaningful impact on my patients’ lives, regardless of the outcome. I believe in an individualized, patient centered approach to care that focuses on a holistic approach and collaboration.
As a nurse practitioner, I love the ability to build long-lasting relationships with my patients. I like being able to help emotionally prepare patients and provide thorough education to empower my patients to make informed decisions regarding their medical care.”
Meet Shelby Wright
Nurse Practitioner Shelby Wright has always had a passion for women’s health and found that in her previous work as a labor and delivery nurse it was a privilege to help families during such a vulnerable and exciting time. Working in fertility and reproductive endocrinology has always been her goal because she wants to be able to support people as they strive to have a baby and provide them with compassionate, knowledgeable care. She aims to make a positive impact on her patients’ lives.
Shelby is a member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Chattanooga Area Nurses in Advanced Practice, American Association of Nurse Practitioners and the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society of Nurses. She has completed courses in Basic Infertility for Healthcare Providers, a specialized course for her nurse certificate in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, as well as other continuing education conferences.
Shelby is proud of the relationships and rapport she builds with her patients. She considers her empathy, kindness and understanding to be her greatest strengths in patient interactions. Shelby actively listens to their concerns and offers support when needed. She also focuses on shared decision making and encourages her patients to be an active participant in making decisions for their care.
Outside of work, Shelby enjoys spending time with her Shetland sheepdog named Pip, reading, watching shows, going to the gym and being outdoors. During the summer, she loves to relax on the lake with family and friends. She also loves to travel and explore new destinations. A fun fact about Shelby is that she is a huge Alabama football fan and never misses a game. Roll Tide!
