Family Nurse Practitioner, Sleep Medicine & Airway Health
Blair began her Nurse Practitioner career in Urgent Care at Primary Health, where she treated patients of all ages with a diverse range of medical needs. While she values the extensive knowledge and hands-on experience she gained in that fast-paced environment, she’s especially passionate about the field of sleep medicine. Recognizing the vital connection between sleep and overall well-being, she is dedicated to helping her patients improve their sleep and, in turn, their quality of life.
Most recently, Blair worked at Breath Airway, specializing in functional sleep medicine. Her focus included the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, airway disorders, and tongue and lip ties, and she routinely performed CO₂ laser procedures as part of her clinical care.
Now continuing her work at ESI, Blair is committed to delivering personalized, patient-centered care. She believes in listening closely to each individual’s needs and providing thoughtful, tailored solutions—never a one-size-fits-all approach. Outside the clinic, Blair enjoys spending time with her husband and son and staying active through running, snowboarding, rafting, and other outdoor adventures.
