Natalie Collins, MSN, FNP-C, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in orthopedic and musculoskeletal care. Born and raised in New Jersey, Natalie earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Drexel University and her Master of Science in Nursing from Marymount University.

Prior to entering advanced practice, Natalie spent 7.5 years working as a registered nurse almost exclusively with orthopedic surgical and trauma patients at Level I Trauma Centers throughout the DMV area. This high-acuity experience provided her with extensive exposure to a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including complex fractures, joint injuries, elective joint replacement procedures, and comprehensive postoperative care. Her background allows her to approach patient care with a strong understanding of both surgical and non-surgical orthopedic management.

As a Nurse Practitioner, Natalie is passionate about building meaningful, long-term relationships with her patients. She prioritizes patient education, shared decision-making, and individualized treatment plans, empowering patients to take an active role in their recovery and overall orthopedic and musculoskeletal health. By combining advanced practice training with a deep foundation in orthopedic nursing, Natalie delivers evidence-based care with compassion and a focus on functional outcomes.

Outside of the clinic, Natalie enjoys spending time with her husband and golden retriever puppy, often exploring new hiking trails throughout the DMV area. She has a strong appreciation for the outdoors and adventure, enjoys traveling when time allows, and finds balance through painting and quality time with family and friends.
