Paiton Clinard, WHNP-BC

Paiton Clinard is a board-certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner who is passionate about caring for women through every stage of life. Her background includes experience in the emergency room and women’s health, including labor and delivery, high-risk antepartum/MFM, postpartum care, and OB triage. These experiences taught her the importance of listening to each patient’s story, understanding their concerns, and providing education early—before the big moments arrive. Paiton believes healthcare should feel like a partnership. She loves teaching, answering the “why,” and helping patients understand their options so they can make informed decisions about their care. Her goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered. She describes her approach as being like the “big sister” some patients may have never had—someone they can trust to explain what to expect and help make life’s big moments feel a little less scary. Outside of the office, Paiton enjoys traveling, music, cooking and hosting (especially when there’s an excuse to plan something!), medical missions, and staying involved with her church. You’ll also find her out and about with her dog, Calli, or catching a Predators game.
