Coby Somsen, FNP
Family Medicine, Walk-In Clinic
Philosophy of Care: Healthcare can be intimidating for lots of people, so I take the time to break down a diagnosis or disease process so my patients can make the best decisions for their health. My goal is to provide patient-centered care—care that empowers them to take an active role in their health and treatment plans. I’m hopeful that patients find me friendly, relatable, and honest.
Why do you like working at OMC? My colleagues here truly care about our patients and each other. It's great to work with such a dedicated team.
Personal Interests: I enjoy lounging in the sun, spending time with my dog, sitting on a boat or reading a good book. I also like to bake and cook (and find I'm pretty good at it)!
Fun Fact: I spent 10 months volunteering on a hospital ship in West Africa—it was an interesting, rewarding experience, and I learned a lot.
