Healing beyond the traditional healthcare model

Sheri Dean is a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with over 20 years of experience in the medical field. She obtained her Graduate degree in Nursing from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, where her husband served in the U.S. Air Force. Throughout her career, she has cared for patients from birth to the end of life. She has worked with patients in their homes and hospitals, urgent care, and clinic settings.

Sheri is passionate about providing quality care and dedicated to joint decision making with her patients. With her passion for providing the highest level of care, Sheri founded Grove Family Health as a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice to break free from the constraints of insurance companies and big healthcare systems. The DPC medical model allows her to focus on what truly matters: spending more time with each patient, making joint decisions, and offering personalized, proactive primary care.

When Sheri is not caring for patients, she enjoys being with her family, gardening, running, and traveling.

Patient, Grove Family Health

"Awesome nurse practitioner. I wouldn't trade her for the world. I never felt more comfortable with Ms.Dean than any other doctor. She never ever let me down. She sent me with an awesome specialist that she knew they would get the job done. She wouldn't send me to just know anybody. Ms. Dean has my respect as long as I am on this Earth. Thank you so much, Ms.Dean"

The story behind the name, Grove Family Health

As a child, one of my favorite memories was taking trips to Quaking Aspen forests in Utah and Wyoming. I sat down on the forest floor, watching the leaves of the Aspen trees flutter in the wind. I remember the feeling of magic, peace, and warmth. When researching the Aspen forests I discovered the strength of these endless groves. Above the ground, they appear to be individual trees, but below the ground, they are supported and connected as one root system. This unique root system makes them stronger and able to thrive as one.

This fascinating and beautiful metaphor about one system working together to grow and sustain life inspired me to open a medical practice that would operate similarly Grove Family Health. At Grove Family Health, our services go beyond just treating your illnesses. We strive to partner with you in achieving and maintaining your healthcare goals. With my extensive healthcare knowledge, education, and support, I am committed to helping you thrive in all aspects of your life.
