Meet Dr. Karla Gochenour

DNP, APRN, FNP-BC

25 years in healthcare.
From CNA to DNP.

My career in healthcare began 25 years ago as a CNA. Since then, I’ve worked my way through nursing, advanced practice, and ultimately earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice. That experience shaped how I care for patients today: listen first, look at the whole picture, and never treat someone like a number on a lab report.

I founded Pineland Aesthetic Medicine to offer a more personal approach to hormone health, medical weight management, and metabolic care—one built around thoughtful clinical decisions, realistic goals, and ongoing support.

I want you to understand your care, feel heard, and know exactly why we’re making the decisions we make together.
