Meredith Sheffield, FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

With over 14 years of experience caring for women and 8 years as a nurse practitioner, Meredith brings a deep commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care at Lotus Center of Health. She began her career as a cardiac nurse before transitioning to labor and delivery at NHRMC, where her passion for women’s health flourished. As a nurse, she had the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Gore—a connection that inspired her to continue her education and pursue advanced practice nursing.

Meredith earned both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (2009) and Master of Science in Nursing (2016) from UNC Wilmington. She became board-certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Before joining the Lotus Center of Health team, she worked at Glen Meade, further deepening her expertise in women’s health.

Her approach to care is built on respect and trust. She recognizes the honor of supporting women through such an intimate part of their lives. She is dedicated to addressing the whole person, exploring preventative care, mental and emotional well-being, and getting to the root cause of health issues.

Personal Philosophy

Meredith believes that emotional and mental health are just as vital as physical well-being. She finds fulfillment in empowering her patients, fostering meaningful connections, and exploring holistic, preventative approaches to health.

Beyond the Office

Meredith enjoys life with her husband, son, daughter, and two dogs outside of work. She cherishes her time outdoors—caring for plants, hiking, practicing yoga, enjoying the beach, or spending time with family and friends. Though free time is rare, she makes the most of it by staying connected with nature and her loved ones.
