Pamela Pahel

Hi, I’m Pamela – a dual board-certified Nurse Practitioner in Acute Care and Family Medicine with over 20 years of experience helping patients navigate everything from emergencies to chronic conditions. But beyond the medical degrees and years in the hospital, I’m also someone who understands the challenges of weight loss and metabolic health—because I’ve been there myself. After years of working in emergency and internal medicine, and seeing firsthand how obesity and metabolic dysfunction impact every part of the body—from the brain to the heart—I knew I had to make a change in my own life. My personal journey with weight loss and metabolic healing lit a fire in me to help others do the same. And not with fad diets or shame-based approaches, but with science-backed strategies, compassion, and truly personalized care. Today, I specialize in helping people just like you regain control of their health through sustainable weight management, lifestyle changes, and prevention-focused medicine. Whether you're just starting or have tried everything, my goal is to be a supportive partner every step of the way—offering judgment-free guidance rooted in clinical expertise and real-life experience. I find particular joy in seeing patients regain their lives in powerful and deeply personal ways—whether it’s getting back into favorite hobbies, keeping up with their children, reducing chronic pain, or finally feeling confident enough to step into photos again. These are the wins that matter most. I believe in treating the whole person—not just the number on the scale. Together, we’ll build a care plan that fits your body, your lifestyle, and your goals. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me in beautiful Maine with my daughter, two lovable Bernese Mountain Dogs (Cooper and Ariel), and one sassy kitten (Kiwi), who keeps us all in line. Let’s work together to build the healthier, more vibrant life you deserve.
