Meet Kristina Mitchell, DNP, FNP-C
Kristina Mitchell is a family nurse practitioner at Core Medical Center, where she helps patients across Blue Springs and the Greater Kansas City metro get to the source of how they feel, not just the symptom in front of them. Holding a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C), she brings a whole-person view to chronic, complex and quality-of-life concerns.
In short: Kristina Mitchell provides physician-supported, root-cause care at Core Medical Center, with a focus on functional medicine, non-medicated weight management and conservative pain support for adults in Blue Springs and Kansas City.
As a doctorally prepared nurse practitioner, Kristina blends evidence-based medicine with the time and listening that complex cases require. She takes a full history, looks at the patterns behind fatigue, weight, inflammation and pain, and builds a plan you can actually follow. Her style is practical and collaborative. She wants you to understand the “why” behind every recommendation.
Focus Areas
Kristina’s work centers on the concerns that primary and integrative care handle best, including:
- Functional and root-cause evaluation for fatigue, metabolic and hormonal concerns
- Medically supervised, non-medicated weight management
- Conservative, non-opioid support for ongoing pain
- Lifestyle, nutrition and labs-driven planning for adults
She is a strong fit for patients who feel they have been handed a prescription without an explanation, and who want a provider willing to dig into the underlying cause.
How Kristina Approaches Patient Care
Every plan starts with a conversation. Kristina reviews your history, your goals and your labs, then maps out a step-by-step path that fits your life rather than one generic protocol. Because Core Medical Center is a physician-led, integrated clinic, she does not work alone. When a patient needs interventional pain options, she coordinates directly with our pain physician, Dr. Paul Doskey, and she leans on our on-site therapy and rehabilitation teams when movement and recovery are part of the picture. One building, one connected plan, no bouncing between offices.
Services With Kristina Mitchell
Kristina sees patients for several of Core Medical Center’s integrative and primary-care service lines:
- Functional Medicine for root-cause evaluation of fatigue, metabolic and chronic concerns
- Medical Weight Management using a non-medicated, supervised approach
- Pain Management with conservative, non-opioid options coordinated across our team
Patients often come to Kristina alongside care from our other providers, so a single visit can connect functional medicine, weight management and a thoughtful plan for neuropathy or other ongoing pain, all under one roof in Blue Springs.
